Which, of course, they painted onto Iacocca (supposedly he was a tyrant over costs!). So he left for Chrysler and built the K-car project from scratch.

Some of the designers left with him, others stayed.
My dad hated Chysler’s design-team and stayed at Ford then went on to Mazda. Worked with a chemist to develop the open-cell foam used in cars seats.
He held 4 patents until his death when they reverted to Ford.
