    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.

    Thanks, great story. I remember that piece from Mr. Yates.

    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! :)
