Lee Iacocca. John DeLorean. Two titans of the automotive industry. On episode sixteen, I talked about John DeLorean and what he did for the car world as we know it. This episode? It’s Lee Iacocca’s turn. Plus, I’ll talk about the connection between them? As I said, it’s a bit of a stretch, but it’s interesting non the less.

If you haven’t noticed yet, this podcast is about nostalgia. Automotive nostalgia. You know, reliving the events, sights, smells and emotions of special memories connect to our first rides.

Said another way…it’s about allowing our memories to travel back in time and experiencing special car moments all over again.

A few weeks ago, I watched a show on the History Channel that highlighted the impact of the automotive industry on the American culture. It was entertaining and I learned a lot about some of the innovators that influenced the designs of what we drive today.

Two men stood out as the most interesting. I guess it was because they impacted the cars I grew up with in my teens.

Who were they? John DeLorean and Lee Iacocca. Both were leaders in the auto industry but with totally different styles.

Today, I’m going to talk about Lee Iacocca, some of his accomplishments and his connection to an electric bicycle he founded in 1997.

So, let’s get right into it now as I talk about Lee Iacocca and his contribution to the automotive industry.
