Intriguing mini series set in the 1960s American auto industry capitol of Michigan,covering about every possible "base" that could be....greed,backstabbing,power plays,personal lives,racial tensions,competitive urges,corporate struggles.....its all there.Basically in a nutshell,Hudson is married to the daughter of the President of National Motors (a play on "American Motors??"),and he views the potential youth market as a veritable goldmine to the carmaker.He proposes the "Hawk" (looking something like an AMC Javelin) psudeo-sports car as their entry into this future field.A large competitor is seen working on a similar project,so Hudson pushes hard to get his baby to market.Engineering problems,corporate bean counters,top brass,all conspire against him. A decent program with top name stars of the day.If you are curious of the auto industry's inner workings,this is the mini series for you.If they would only release it on DVD.... (Here's trivia for you....National Motors only product was a family sedan...in the mini series it was simply a 1966/67 Dodge Coronet with a hastily applied generic grille).

Roc Hudson and Blair Brown play one of the greatest parts of their careers in this compelling drama about the automobile industry.

Wheels, the mini-series, is a wonderful drama wrapped around the ins and outs of the automobile industry.

Why, oh why is this mini-series not available on VCR/DVD??? Not only is there a ton of money to be made, but this wonderful dramatic story should be shared with a new generation!

Please find out who and how we can make this wonderful dramatic story available for the masses!

Thank you for listening!

I saw this series when it came out. Excellent 70's soap opera filled with scandal and intrigue. Set in the auto industry with corporate spying and power struggles. Fun and entertaining. I would love to have a copy of this in my collection.

This is an outstanding mini-series, first shown on NBC back in 1978. An excellent cast, including - Rock Hudson, Lee Remick and Fred Williamson. An excellent theme and music score by Morton Stevens. Hopefully, there will be a video release someday of this wonderful show.

Great mini-series! Very engrossing and entertaining. A terrific story about the 1960's auto industry and its effects on the families involved. A fine score by veteran television composer Morton Stevens - (Hawaii Five-0), who received an Emmy Nomination for his music to this 1978 mini-series. A video release would be great!
