Default Great Cars TV on PBS

While watching Auto Motor und Sport, I came across this show called Great Cars on PBS: http://www.greatcarstv.com/
From race cars to sports cars, to trucks and limousines, a new half-hour-long television documentary series looks at the world's fastest, most expensive, most exciting and unusual automobiles - along with the people who loved and made them.

Each program profiles an individual automobile and its impact on the world. These are tales of money, power and some of the most legendary and charismatic people of the 20th Century like Henry Ford, Enzo Ferrari and Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Great Cars also examines why each car was designed, what the manufacturers tried to achieve, who the people behind the project were, what technology was employed, and what impact the auto had upon society and our lives.

Great Cars launched each week on PBS stations around the country starting in January 2004. It's initially appearing on more than 48 Public Television stations across the U.S. Tell us what you like about the series, what you want to see, or check out your local PBS listings to find the time and day Great Cars airs in your town. If your local PBS station isn't carrying Great Cars yet, call and ask them for it.
Have yet to see the whole show in full so I can't comment on it. It sounds promising though.

Each PBS station airs it at a different time. Some of them don't even show it at all
