ERTL The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard County Hot Pursuit Set

This item is a vintage-style 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard County Hot Pursuit Set' featuring three die-castvehicles manufactured by ERTL. The set is presented in its original, unopened blister packaging. The cardboard backing features vibrant graphics including the 'ERTL' logo at the top, 'The Dukes of Hazzard' title prominently displayed, and an image of the 'General Lee' car with '01' on its side. Below this, the title 'HAZZARD COUNTY HOT PURSUIT SET' is printed. In the upper right corner, there are small images of characters from the show and an 'AGES 3 & UP' label. The packaging itself shows some minor wear consistent with storage, such as slight edge scuffs and possibly some bending or creasing on the cardboard, although it appears to be in overall good condition. The clear plastic blister covering the vehicles is intact and appears to be firmly sealed to the card, with no visible cracks or punctures. The set includes three die-cast vehicles: a white Hazzard County Sheriff's car with a sheriff's star insignia on the doors and a red light bar on the roof, an orange '01' General Lee car, and a silver/grey open-top jeep, likely representing Daisy Duke's jeep from the series. All vehicles appear to be in pristine, factory-new condition, protected within their sealed plastic. They exhibit fine detailing appropriate for die-cast collectibles, with chrome accents on wheels and bumpers. The set likely dates back to the era when the show was popular or a subsequent re-release, placing its estimated age sometime from the late 1970s to the 1990s. This combination of a well-known franchise and a complete, unopened set of collectible vehicles indicates a specific market for enthusiasts and collectors. The craftsmanship of ERTL die-cast vehicles is generally considered good, known for their solid feel and accurate representations of the vehicles.
