Lido Anthony Iacocca, the automobile industry legend best known as “Lee,” has died at the age of 94.A child of Italian immigrants who grow up in humble conditions, Iacocca became one of the most powerful — and best known — executives in Detroit.After being fired in a dispute with company heir Henry Ford II, Iacocca joined the then-struggling Chrysler.
Iacocca became famous not only as Chrysler’s chairman and CEO but its TV pitchman, where he made famous the tag line, “If you can find a better car, buy it.”

mitchellreports Many years ago he taught me how to accurately anticipate trends, to stay ahead of the game. May he rest in peace.
mitchellreports I remember when I was in HS and someone pointed out to me that Iacocca was also an acronym for I Am the Chairman Of the Chrysler Corporation of America. I thought that was so cool. RIP.
mitchellreports I did not know he was still alive
I have owned 11 Lebarons in my adult life ‘82-‘86. All, but one, convertible woodies. Still the coolest car ever. RIP Lee Iacocca. chrysler townandcountry kcar
He was an innovator and not a bad spokesman either.....
Great. Now future generations of workers have somewhere to piss.
He was still alive all this time?
I remember back when Chrysler paid Lee Iacocca $1,000,000 to be their CEO, that was a big deal back in the early 80's...he'd be laughed at by today's CEO pay standards, and the ceo's today, couldn't hold a candle to him. RIP Sir.
The Mustang man what a visionary saved Chrysler's tail also RIP
End of an Era: RIP
Honestly had no idea he was still alive...Rest in Peace Lee
