If anyone has Netflix out there, a new release entitled "A Faster Horse" has just been released on Netflix.
http://fasterhorsefilm.comIt's a documentary on the new 2015 Mustang, overlaid on the iconic history of the model. Though it's Mustang, you could remove the badge and insert any beloved car model in the story and a lot of the trials and tribulations would remain. Covers the design and engineering on the way to Job 1 (launch.) The documentary was released last fall.
There's plenty of local color in it for me; my wife knows some of the folks in it and in fact she seems to think she may have authorized some finances related to this project at one time. I had breakfast with Jack Telnack quite by accident at the Mercedes-Benz booth at the auto show, and he figures in the story. But aside from all that it was pretty fascinating.
I highly recommend it if you have an interest in the process of car design and production.
