He was famous for his TV ads from that time, in which he said: "If you can find a better car, buy it!" Iacocca also wrote two best-selling books and was courted as a presidential candidate for 1988.

He had a 32-year career at Ford and Chrysler and helped launch some of Detroit's most significant cars” including the minivan, the Chrysler K-car and the Ford Escort.
