I would love a movie about how Ford, GM and Chrysler (primarily), had to switch up their factories, production, and tooling to make bombers and other aircraft for WW2. Just fascinating to me that FDR shows up to Detroit and tells Ford, “You guys are in the bomber-making business for this effort - make it happen”- and they did. Some great story lines to be had: Big 3 adversaries working together toward a greater good. Edsel Ford being one of the primary drivers behind the successful movement and giving his name/legacy a positive light in place of the production car failure of his namesake. The city of Detroit being at the center of our successful war effort - just a lot of great story lines all around.
