Auto industry icon Lee Iacocca -- forever connected to the Ford Mustang and former chairman of Chrysler -- has died ... according to a family source.
A family member tells TMZ Iacocca passed away, but could not provide any further detail.
Iacocca is credited with saving Chrysler from bankruptcy back in the 1980s ... and he's often referred to as the father of the legendary Ford Mustang. While he was always known within the auto industry ... he became a household name across America when he starred in a series of TV advertisements for Chrysler.

94 is a damn good run, and he certainly left a legacy. For example, I’m certian he drove up to the pearly gates in a K-Car!

RIP.
For some reason an image just popped in my head of Jimmy Carter doing CPR on him.

Chrysler products were nothing but trouble for me back when he was in charge of the company. Still won’t have one to this day.

I happily owned a ‘65 and a ‘66 Mustang. Just loved those cars. Thank You L.I.

I first heard of Lee Iacocca in 1965 when a disc jockey on Boss Radio 93 KHJ, the 50,000-watt rock blaster in Los Angeles called him “the little old Mustang maker.”

Sooner or later we all go to the big scrapyard in the sky. 94 is more than a LOT of us can hope for...

Hopefully Jay Leno will do a TV special or something for him. Jay’s about the most appropriate person I can think of for something like that.

My wife’s father got her a 1964 1/2 Mustang. What a great car that was.

As a programmer I always remember the old joke: What do you get when you mix Lee Iacocca with a vampire?
