Who is Cooter Davenport?
Cooter Davenport is the mechanic in Hazzard County. This is the fictional place where The Dukes of Hazzard show takes place. At the start of the show, Cooter was a bit wild and didn't always follow the rules. Because of this, his friends gave him the CB nickname "Crazy Cooter."
Later in the first season, Cooter became more calm and easy-going. He owns a repair shop called "Cooter's Garage." It is located across from the Hazzard County Sheriffs' Department.
