The last of the real car guy major players from the 40's, 50s, 60s and 70s. The era when cars were creatively styled by imagination.
 He's one for the history books.

pretty amazing career. He's often tied to the Mustang, and he was only 39 when that car hit the market.

By seeing what a racy body with a long hood and a short rear deck could do for a plain-vanilla Ford Falcon chassis, Iacocca created the Mustang and launched a class of vehicles known as pony cars. The Mustang set a record for first-year sales, and far from being a flash-in-the-pan, has remained in Ford’s car lineup as a core vehicle ever since.

Yup. Just heard about it. I was a huge fan of his work and vision as I grew up in the car culture. If it wasn’t for him, this entire Pony car segment we currently enjoy would not have existed.
