Air - "Misfit" Teaser</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1241647">Andrew Filippone Jr.</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

"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 for updates.

Pretty cool! I too am an admirer of the Buick Grand National and GNX, so I can't wait for this production to come out. I went on Facebook and liked it to stay up-to-date with news until it's released.

Okay, I need help with embedding the video. What am I doing wrong???

I have no idea how to embed this, but this documentary seems very cool. I wish they did more documentaries on Buick vehicles... like the GSX. Talk about another misfit (in all the right ways) that only Buick could produce.

Buick Grand National is one of my very fav vehicles, however most seem to have disappeared for some odd reason.
