Early Life and Influences

Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1924, Iacocca grew up in a working-class Italian-American family. His father was a welder, and his mother was a homemaker. From a young age, Iacocca displayed a keen interest in cars and mechanics. He loved taking apart and rebuilding engines, and he dreamed of one day becoming a car designer.

After graduating high school, Iacocca attended Lehigh University, where he studied industrial engineering. He was a bright and ambitious student, and he quickly rose to the top of his class. After graduating from Lehigh, Iacocca went to work for Ford Motor Company in 1946.

The Ford Years

Iacocca spent the next two decades at Ford, rising through the ranks from a low-level engineer to become one of the company's top executives. He was responsible for developing some of Ford's most iconic cars, including the Mustang and the Pinto.

However, Iacocca's relationship with Ford's legendary founder, Henry Ford II, was often strained. Iacocca was a visionary leader who was always pushing the envelope, while Ford II was a more conservative manager who was reluctant to take risks.

Iacocca implemented a number of bold initiatives, including securing government loan guarantees and launching the K-Car, a small, fuel-efficient car that became a huge success. Under Iacocca's leadership, Chrysler made a remarkable comeback, and the company eventually repaid its government loans in full.
