Lee passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 94. He started out in Ford Trucks, became the Father of the Mustang, saved Chrysler from oblivion, and led the effort to restore Ellis Island. He was a hell of an American, and we are the poorer for his passing.

RIP. ME's brother was one of the team of bright young engineers who transformed the Falcon into the Mustang under Lee's careful supervision. It was his first gig out of college and he has great memories of that experience.
