on History right now ? They are including some new "bonus footage" and are near the era where you came on board (almost). Old man Ford was a piece of work...

Thanks for the heads up. I was off the board yesterday having two good friends pass away this week so I attendrd two funerals yesterday. Talk about a bummer. Only good thing about funerals at my age is you get to see other friends that you haven’t seen for a long time. I will definitely check out the History Channel. Henry Ford and Henry the Deuce were so un-alike. Highlighting their differences on air would a worthy feature. Thanks again.

Found it. I love On Demand.

A good series to skip the commercials on. Poor Edsel was a good man and his dad treated him like crap

Iacocca was named president of Ford December 1970 and fired 1978. I went to work for Ford the first working day January 1971 and resigned late 1977 so Iacocca was president my entire time with Ford. He did great things for Ford and later for Chrysler. When I left Ford I sold all my stock and invested it in Chrysler. Made out like a bandit.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends.

Iacocca was a visionaire; in the right place/right time
