Ultimate Factories

Anybody see this show? Two episodes are excellent, The BMW Z4 factory and the Corvette ZR-1 factory. How can we get the Camaro plant to be one of these episodes?

Saw the Z06, must have missed the ZR1, but there's also a Ferrari one.

I've seen the Corvette one many times, as well as the other episodes.

However, they are not making new shows currently.

All Corvettes are made at Bowling Green Kentucky.

Here is the line back in 96. Same building just refurbished. Some of same people still working there.
