Title: "The Cars That Made America" documentry on History Channel
Post by: 68krrrr on September 07, 2020, 12:51:39 PM
This was kinda cool a 3 part series on the big 3 from the early days through to about the "90's" was hoping they'd cover Shelby's but not really .But some good muscle car stuff they really covered the GTO & John Delorean  with the street racing scene on Woodward Ave in Detroit back in the day,before my time but cool stuff.

Yes that's the name of it ,they ran all three episodes in a row yesterday but the third episode is the muscle car era ,all  3 are pretty cool to watch ,the first one starts with Henry Ford & the second one moves up to the pre-and post war cars & the third one is  muscle cars to minivans 😂 They really need to be watched in order it's a it's really just one documentary split into 3 parts

I watched these just by accident about a month or so back
just fantastic series ( apart from no Shelby )
the Ford story and its growth is just amazing
and it was good to see how important his kids became in the business and the wars
things I never knew

   They could have covered the "skunk works" stuff the engineers were doing out on Woodward avenue a little better.  But Ive seen the series and its pretty good.
