Collection of Die-cast Model Cars (Dodge Charger 'General Lee' and Custom Coupes)

This collection features at least three die-cast model cars displayed on what appears to be a vintage stereo system or a similar electronic console. The most prominent model is a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger, famously known as the 'General Lee' from the TV show 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' identifiable by the '01' racing number on its side and its distinctive color. This model is positioned on a raised black platform, suggesting it might be a larger scale, possibly 1:18 or 1:12, and exhibits common features of collectible die-cast cars, including detailed chrome-like wheels, accurate body lines, and an overall glossy finish. Below the General Lee, there are two smaller scale model cars, likely 1:64 (Hot Wheels or Matchbox scale) or 1:43. The one clearly visible on the right is a light grey coupe, possibly a custom build, featuring large, multi-spoke chrome wheels with low-profile tires, a lowered stance, and subtle body modifications such as a slight spoiler lip at the rear and a dark 'racing stripe' or accent on the hood and roofline. The vehicle next to it, partially obscured on the left, appears to be a similar custom coupe in a lighter grey or silver finish, also featuring aftermarket-style wheels. All models appear to be in good physical condition, though the surrounding dust on the display surface indicates they have not been recently cleaned or actively handled. The craftsmanship suggests these are mass-produced collector's items, with varying levels of detail based on their scale. The larger General Lee model demonstrates a higher degree of detail appropriate for larger scales, while the smaller coupes show typical detail for their size, with an emphasis on custom styling.
