R.I.P. Lee Iacocca

FYI: Lee A. Iacocca, the visionary automaker who ran the Ford Motor Company and then the Chrysler Corporation and came to personify Detroit as the dream factory of America’s postwar love affair with the automobile, died on Tuesday at his home in Bel Air, Calif. He was 94.

    Father of the Mustang - I must be getting old. Seems like just yesterday Lee was on TV hawking Chrysler products. Great salesman. And one with cars in his blood!

    Geez - do they even build Chryslers anymore? We’ve pretty much turned what remains of the diminishing “car” market over to foreign based companies. How long before pickups, SUVs and everything else follow?

  • FIAT bought Chrysler in 2009 and some models IIRC are still built in Detroit.
