 Next month, Buick performance enthusiasts will get a sneak peak at a
documentary film that shines the spotlight on the hottest car to roll
out of Flint in the last 25 years when the first 20 minutes of Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary will be shown at the Buick Performance Group Nationals on August 4. The film is scheduled to be released in early December.
Filmmaker Andrew Filippone Jr. has spent four years tracking down
Buick GN and GNX owners, racers and collectors, as well as members of
the media who road tested the cars, plus the key players responsible for
engineering, styling and marketing at Buick and General Motors.
In the documentary, Filippone said he attempted to explore new
territory (for a car film), delving into issues of culture, social
class, inheritance, and privilege as it related to the turbocharged V-6
Buicks, and away from the usual focus on mechanics and performance. Yet,
insiders say there's no shortage of GNs and GNXs doing big smoky
burnouts and intimidating drivers in the opposing lane.
