HISTORY CHANNEL THE CARS THAT MADE AMERICA

This documentary covers the history of the cars that made America. I like watching it because it gets into the nuances of how the horseless carriage has evolved from the Ford Model T to the DeLorean. It covers facts on how many models hit big such as the Pontiac GTO to  the Corvair which was "unsafe at any speed."

It is a lengthy production revealing how much Americans really love their cars and trucks.

I didn't realize Lee Iacocca just passed away in July at age 94! Lee was the man who bailed out Chrysler Corporation by repaying the U.S. Government ahead of time. Lee's celebrity net worth is given at $100 Million!

By watching this special I gained insights otherwise would not have been known. It's funny how gas guzzlers went from undesirable to being collector cars. Yesterday "Johnson" and I witnessed a huge car show on our way back from the casinos. Everything today seems to be collected... "Pass."
