Since I’m celebrating Nudie, I thought I would pull a Nudie-inspired Double D Ranch™ piece out of our archives and feature it today. This collector piece is called Rock and Star Rodeo and is ca. fall of 2005.

How do we submit an answer?? Sorry, I’m confused by this.
I’m hoping this is where you want the answers submitted – The Nudie-mobile was in The Dukes of Hazzard.
Hey, Hey we’re The Monkees
Is it the Jimmy Dean show?
Gotta love those Ukranians!!! I know I do!!
We need one of those for the next photo shoot.
Beau looks great! The jacket is classic Double D. Hot stuff!
Head – The Monkees movie!!!
He rocked!
Jennifer, yes it was used in the Monkees movie, but we are looking for a CBS sitcom. Think about it and try again.
I thought the same thing myself! Great shoot.
Jessica, yes it was used there, but we are looking for a CBS “sitcom”. Ponder on it and submit again.
Was it Dukes of Hazzard? I was thinking maybe Boss Hogg’s car. Webb Pierce’s Bonneville done by Nudie with silver dollars, pearl-handled pistols, and longhorns in the Country Music Hall of Fame is worth the trip to Nashville.
hey Paul, think CBS sitcom.
Actually, they wanted to use the Nudie-Mobile for the Dukes of Hazards movie but the Nudie heirs were afraid it might get damaged. Think some more and try again.
right here Penny, you got it.
Emily, why yes, you do know your Nudie-Mobiles, but we are looking for a CBS sitcom. Try again.
Green Acres?This is driving me crazy. I must be thinking in the wrong decade.
Was it the Antiques Roadshow?
Can you tell us if it was a long-running sitcom or an obscure one?
Katherine, it was on the Antiques Roadshow but Cheryl is looking for the CBS sitcom that ran in the 60’s and early 70’s.
Beverly Hillbillies
gotta be Beverly Hillbillies. That’s my final answer!
