    Virgil Exner found the bad end of that buck when he was "retired" out of Chrysler for others' bad decisions.

    The old story for Ford was that no project was started until some poor unsuspecting sap had been selected as the fall guy in case it wasn't successful.

    Ahh you want to be a consultant. We typically ask for a longer engagement (the reasoning: scapegoats only work when they’re actually around to take the blame)

    Hear ya - guessing degree of difficulty was high. Though recall the advertising had it shutting-out boredom two-zip (er, II-zip?!) and that particular one looks like a kinda fun one ...

    Thanks, great story. I remember that piece from Mr. Yates.
    I spent many a night out there with those guys street racing. Crazy times.

    I wrote Brock Yates a letter when the Bugatti EB-110 came out, defending the styling. He hated it, but I thought it was dignified and looked the part of a Bugatti. He published it! :)
