TL:DR - Iacocca: The Man, The Myth & The Legend

I was never planning on diving deep into the history of Lee Iacocca, but after reviewing “A Faster Horse” – a documentary surrounding the creation of the 6th generation Mustang on Netflix – the film stirred up a name I hadn’t heard in years: “Lee Iacocca.” – This mysterious, legendary, near mythical name, was thrown around a lot when I was a kid.
