SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- If you're curious about how certain things are made, you're probably familiar with the TV show "How it's Made" on the Discovery Channel.
The documentary television series with a title that speaks for itself is in Springfield; the TV crew visited Limoland of Springfield to document how a limo is made.
The show is viewed by more than 120 different countries and translated into more than 24 different languages. Each half-hour episode explains how a different product is made, divided up into 3-4 short segments.
"We go for food, or mechanical, or seasonal products -- everything," says director Yanick Legrand.
This particular segment will demonstrate, from start to finish, what it takes to build a limousine.
"You go from cutting a car, to stretching it any amount of lengths, to making bars for it, to the whole electrical system," says Gary Spaniak, Limoland retail sales manager. "It's a really cool process just to see a brand new, $60,000 car ripped in half and turned into something quite beautiful."
"We came here because they built the first electric limousine and we found it to be interesting and it's a quality product," adds Legrand.
The TV crew typically films one subject per day, but since the limo is bigger and more complicated they are taking two days.
"And we go five days a week, so we have five different products," says Legrand. "We do limousines and tomorrow it could be frozen yogurt."
So not only will you get to see what the finished product looks like, you get to experience how one is being made -- something Spaniak says could be interesting to anybody.
"Car fanatics or people that just like to see how things are made. Anybody who has an interest of, you know, that would be really cool to be a part of it, or even to some people that have never even sat in a limousine."
"All the work they are doing -- cutting a car in two pieces -- it's so impressive," adds Legrand. "All the detail. The lights inside. The TV. The sound system. When you're looking at the initial product and the end and the finished product, the difference is so amazing. "
The Ozarks-featured show will air on the Discovery Channel in about 6-9 months.
