A 60-minute documentary will air tomorrow night (Sunday August 14th) at 10:00 p.m. on CNBC. Entitled “Titans”, it is a documentary on Lee Iacocca. CNBC did two hours of taping with David E. Davis in Ypsilanti at the car warehouse in February in preparation for the show. Excerpts from the interview with him are interspersed throughout the program.

Also, with respect to historical license plates and the discussion that ensued at First Saturday this month, we are attaching a letter written by Michigan Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson, outlining the parameters for the use of historic and authentic historic plates. We thank Jim Walker for undertaking the research and forwarding this to us.

I guess Iaccoca is a titan compared to the business executives of today. If he had been around in the days of Henry Leland, Walter Chrysler, William Durant, Joseph Frazer or George Mason he would have made a good office boy.

This is not just cracking wise. I read his autobiography and other books of his and agree he was a good manager, but not in the same league with the early giants.
