Just read he has passed. Godspeed Mr. Iacocca, very much appreciate your contribution and vision.
And the mini van. 94 years old.Genius I would say. He perhaps single handedly saved the Chrysler Corporation from yet another bailout after the Carter administration in 78. He had true vision with the K car. Say what you will about that line, but it saved Chrysler's butt.
He said when fired from Ford that he would not waste energy being mad because he needed it to get even. He did!I really admired this man. I read just about anything I could find on him including his autobiography. He was also the father of the Mustang. Funny what his opinion was of Edsel Ford. Said he was as dumb a person as his daddy was smart. He fought Iacocca on the release of the Mustang. Said there was no market for such a car!
