Here is what Wikipedia has on Dasiys wheels. She had a Road Runner in the first 5 episodes then she ended up with "Dixie" the white 1980 Jeep Wrangler.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dukes_of_Hazzard

A 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner[15] (yellow with a black stripe) was used by Daisy Duke in the first five episodes of the first season. For the last episodes of the first season and the second season, a similarly painted 1972 Plymouth Satellite with a matching "Road Runner" stripe was used until Bo and Luke sent it off a cliff in "The Runaway" after the brakes failed. At the end of that episode, she is given her Golden Eagle Jeep "Dixie". In the 2nd Video Game of The Dukes of Hazzard, Her Roadrunner's fixed from the cliff. With special thanks to cooter for helping her returned her car. Daisy's Car joined her Jeep to be family of the duke vehicles.
Dixie[edit]

Dixie was the name given to Daisy Duke's white 1980 Jeep CJ-7 "Golden Eagle" which had a Golden Eagle emblem on the hood and the name "Dixie" on the sides. Like other vehicles in the show, there was actually more than one Jeep used throughout the series. Sometimes it would have an automatic transmission, and other times it would be a manual. The design of the roll-cage also varied across the seasons. When the Jeep was introduced at the end of the second season's "The Runaway", it was seen to have doors and a slightly different paint-job, but, bar one appearance in the next produced episode, "Arrest Jesse Duke" (actually broadcast before "The Runaway", causing a continuity error), from thereafter the doors were removed and the paint-job was made all-white, with "Dixie" painted on the sides of the hood. These Jeeps were leased to the producers of the show by American Motors Corporation in exchange for a brief mention in the closing credits of the show.
