<VV> VV> A breath of fresh air..

[Dave Thompson]

I read the book "Lee Iacocca: An autobiography" many years and books ago. Do
I remember correctly that Iacocca wanted the Mustang to be named after the
WWII fighter airplane but Marketing changed it to a horse? I think that's
why the Mustang had side scoops, to emulate the radiator scoop under the
wing on the airplane. I could be wrong.

I too suggest Lee Iacocca (read all of his books) even if you hate cars, his
message is strong as he reached for the root of US manufacturing
difficulties and strove to remedy them
