"I remember taking it to work and wanting to change lanes and all you had to do was just stab the throttle and the thing would *choo-choo* and it would skid over. You didn't have to move the steering wheel, it would just shift lanes. It was wonderful." - Steve Pasteiner
Don't know who Steve Pasteiner is? Good, that's exactly why indy filmmaker Andrew Filippone Jr. has been hard at work on a solo documentary project titled Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary.
The film, still in production, tells the story of the Buick Grand National from the perspective of the designers, enthusiasts and automotive journalists who first reviewed the car. Somewhere between a history lesson and a memorial, Black Air looks to put a personal touch on one of the most improbable cars of our time.
Check the two-minute trailer "Misfit" after the jump and follow the film on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Black-Air-The-Buick-Grand-National-Documentary/199753063411653?sk=wall) for updates.
