Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca

[NextJen]

Passed away on July 2, 2019

While most may remember him for the revival of Chrysler Corp., I will remember him for his greatest achievement - the development of the Ford Mustang. God bless you, Mr. Iacocca.

My first car was a '66 Mustang and my first brand new car was an '89 Chrysler LeBaron convertible, so I definitely give thanks for both the development of the Mustang and bailing Chrysler out in the late 70s.

I also read his autobiography and the follow on book 'Talking Straight' in the 80s. Both were fascinating and a great insight into corporate America.

I thought he had died years ago.

He made the market for a lot of years.

The Mustang and Continental were great cars but keep in mind... The Pinto and K-cars were his too!

The Pinto

When I was like 11, I wanted my first car to be a Pinto.
