GM C6 Documentary
A few months ago my wife viewed a GM Documentary on the making of the C6. Does anyone know where we can obtain a copy of this great keepsake? Thanks.

Rebuilding An Icon is what you are thinking of..or maybe King of the Road.
A trunkated version is on the DVD that comes with the 05 Brochure

I rented it from Netflix. It was ok, but I thought it could've been a lot better.
It really only covered a very short time period. Directly around the time of the unveiling at the car show. Would've been a lot better to see its development from the beginning. The title is kind of misleading.

That would have been a long movie. Development of the C6 started really in 1999.
Tom Peters did the first sketches in the fall of 1999 and the first wind tunnel testing was done on the nose in 2000. The plan was initially for a 2003 launch for the 50th anniversary.

thanks for the reminder--I have a "off the air" video tape of this show--missing the first couple of minutes--always wanted to order the DVD of it....with the price drop from 20 to 10 bucks they may be dumping remaining stock--if you want one get on board. Just ordered mine.

I like the version that came with 05 C6s better. It left out all the parts about the guy trying to get the pics.
