Rest in peace Mr. Iacocca. 7/2/2019.
Thank you for your wonderful work.
Amen! A true gentleman!
I lost two grandfathers this year...Lee and Juan Carlos.
Wow, they really didn’t wait long at all to make the mustang an suv after he died.
Got to give Jay credit, with all the fame and fortune he still does his show like a true motorhead and gives his elders the respect they deserve which makes him a first class act.
And what I love about Jay Leno is he shares his automotive knowledge to the world. He's not selfish with his collections.
He's one of the few true motorheads educating the masses about the history of these fine machines. And hats off to your Sir for that.
For sure, jay seems very humble, if you didn't know of his tv career you would never have guessed a man such as this was so wealthy, even his clothing is down to earth and simple.
He never was focused on money. He was always focused on being funny and let the chips fall where they may. He knows his weaknesses compared to his past contracts. That'll keep anyone humble , if they aren't insane.
@@imranvp He's not an idiot. Most of those cars were paid for by the general public that went to his shows and watched the Tonight Show. Why not show everyone what cool stuff it bought? He's basically recognizing his good fortune and how it got paid for.
That is a very accurate assessment of Jay,! First class guy
Its hard seeing Mr. Iacocca so frail, what a great man he was for the industry and like Jay, a hero of mine since childhood.
froochie123 July 2019 Rest In Peace Lee.
Time is the great leveler
I have looked up to that man working for GM/Volkswagen/Chrysler/Ford
Ah. Happens to everyone. He’s having a fun day. He has his wits, talking about a passion.
RIP Lee.
Every Mustang lives with your DNA.
It's funny how I never really liked this guy's late night show, but I love his UA-cam channel.
So true.
One is passion the other is a pay check
Jay is better when he is not trying to be funny.
Jay is a real car guy, very passionate and knowledgeable about everything he has in his collection and on his channel. I don’t think he was any less funny than the rest of the late night hacks, none of those shows are honestly the height of comedy
Yo so true never watched him at night but I lov these he's ok✌️✌️💯🔥
Lee Iacocca, an American success story, an icon, and a legendary figure in automotive history. RIP sir...
RIP Mr. Iacocca. A legend to anyone that loves American cars especially Ford and Chrysler products. I just saw the news and it’s unbelievable that he is gone.
Time stops for no-one. Bless Mr Iacocca. We need a few more of him.
It's a shame corporate America doesn't appreciate people like him. They can't relate and are afraid of his type and usually force them to comform or find a way to push them out of the company. Instead of being creative they "trim" budgets and lay workers off to look good to Wall Street.
Hope youre doing well, 7 years later
Mr. Iaccoca brought Carroll Shelby to Ford, saved Chrysler from bankruptcy, & was a Philanthropist. From a real Car Enthusiast, thank you, so very much. RIP 💕🙏💕
To say I’d be star struck by the legend that is Lee, I would be paralyzed to speak to such greatness. Just standing next to him would be all id need. To be in the presence of such greatness I’d need a day to recover. Man what an amazing life he lived. Amazing man
You said what i was trying too 😭 It's beautiful, man, beautiful. Lol
Wow Mr. Iacocca, a living automotive legend, great to see him!
RIP Lee. Saved Chrysler and kept Lamborghini on the trajectory. Imagine no Mustangs or the idea of possibly no Chrysler in the horsepower race. Without Lee it would be pretty damn boring!
wow 1st time seeing Lee Iacocca at this age ..what a great person
Rest in peace Mr. Iacocca, I love this interview and came straight here after hearing of his passing
Wow, this is so cool...Lee Iacocca himself!
Thus passes an American hero. Rest in Peace Mr. Iacocca. Thanks for the Mustang!
Rest Easy Mr. IACOCCA
Im really glad to see how the american muscle cars are growing again, this new mustang, the 6th gen camaro and the hellcat are just the top of an iceberg that is going to shake the world wide automotive industry, you may not like the mustang as a brand, or maybe you cannot think as the mustang as something else than the rival car (this come from a diehard camaro owner) but the car is really a nice piece of art, Im not gonna buy one, but Im 100% sure this car will bring a smile to it future owners
well done Ford... well done..
***** Oh those 3rd gen and 4th gen mustangs were really ugly
***** I'd have to disagree. I have an '01 Bullitt GT and loved it. Great car. The newer ones, though, are just too big and bloated compared to any of the earlier models and they seem to keep getting bigger.. To each his own.
Brown Can Im with you on that man! Im all about import tuners as well! The new mustang is starting to slowly appeal to me haha!
+I don't even know And god bless Italy and Germany for raising the bar on horsepower in the first place.
your comment is very accurate !! I always liked more ferraris, porsches (have a collectible one in my garage) , japanese cars, etc etc .. But with a smile in my face , have to admit with surprise that new camaros, mustangs, the hellcat !! (ohh the hellcat) are very very appealing cars to me right now !!!!! As a car fan and engineer have to admit that new american cars are awesome !!! keep the good job !!!!!
May you Rest In Peace Mr Iacocca,thank you for your dedication to the Automotive Industry and for being part of American greatness !🙏
Lee Iacocca is and will always be legend. As much respect as I can give to this fine man
The original Pony car and still the best bang for the buck, what every other manufacturer wishes they had invented. Great interviews and great heritage piece on the past and the future of the Mustang.
If the new one goes as good as it looks I'll order one. Brilliant job on the styling. If they've put half that effort into the chassis (sounds like they have) it'll be a real high mark.
Well put, people can have their brand loyalties but without the Mustang their is no Camaro, Firebird, Challenger, Cuda, AMX or even the Datusn Z, etc. At least give Ford the props they deserve for being an industry game changer that made it great for all American Auto lovers to route for their brand. What a legacy, awesome vid!
Bang for buck? Yeah, if you are luck to get 1 out of 100 that like to blow up.
Love Jay's channel, his love for the classics and his roots... despite the fact he owns cars that are worth millions and millions more than your average Mustang. RIP Mr. Iacocca.
He also owns some that aren't worth that much, just because he likes them...a true car guy.
RIP Lee..! Your persistence paid off for Ford and Chrysler and millions of people around the world.
RIP Mr. Iacocca. You were the man.
RIP Lee Iacocca. Thank you for the cars.
Love how Jay calls him Mr. Iacocca ...true respect and class
“It was more fun.” Phrase never used these days to pitch an investment
sad that Carrol Shelby was not around to see this come out. im sure he is looking down with a huge smile on his face tho :). i cant wait to see the new cobra!!
Or as George Carlin would say, he's screaming up at us..... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Or looking up. ;)
seductivesnake1 Greed ProfeSSor Carroll Shelby StIl LIve'S On In Proud SPIrIt
S. SESTRIC in a good way, of course
I always had an appreciation for Mr. Iococca. He was not only a brilliant engineer, but the former president of Ford, the CEO of Chrysler and their spokesman... and he wore well tailored suits back in the day. Classy guy.
RIP Iacocca thanks for the Mustang and the K-Car
Mr. Iacocca is a legend for the worldwide auto industry. Innovator for new design and how to leverage production techniques. He saved Chrysler and was a dynamic car guy. RIP.
Real nice seeing Lee Iacocca again thankyou. An American automobile icon.
Bob was a neighbor of ours, a gentleman and well loved in the car club community. Lee, of course, is no longer with us either. Rest In Peace to both of these men!
Such a nice thing to do for Mr. Iacocca on Jay Leno. Wonderful!! he is older and all of us will be...!! awesome episode!!!
Jay Thank you so much for bringing such an American Icon on your show. RIP Mr Iacocca your incredible contributions to the automotive world will always live on.
50 years, and the original is still the most graceful and elegant of all Mustang designs. The same was true for the Thunderbird.
I agree, Mustang, Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar, the best car i have seen in all the times in spite cars like music, are good, or not good but is difficult to find the best.
its boring and uninspiring.
It's people like you that make the availability of a BRAND NEW (old) Mustang body, in steel, available today. There is a company that bought the rights and some of the equipment from Ford to reproduce some of the old 'Stangs. With sufficient cash you can have a brand new '68 bodied 'Stang with MODERN running gear. Not fiberglass, and not "close", but an IDENTICAL body, with upgraded steel and anti-rust zinc coatings for longevity. So you are one of MANY whose allegiance to the old style assures it will always be around. Ad I can think of no more deserving a car.
Iacocca is the coolest name ever, I can’t thank him enough for creating the best sport car ever, I love mustangs !
I agree with Jay, I never understand why they destroy the prototypes, it's destroying history and I for one think it's stupid and a huge waste.
Theres no need for it to be destroyed. They should have a warehouse of nothing but the concepts and prototypes like nissan does.
The good thing is that there are still a pretty good amount of prototypes left. I know for a fact there are at least two Chrysler Turbines left. Jay has one and there is another one in the Henry Ford Museum.
Voivrenetwork its disheartening. I never knew they destroyed prototype cars until I seen a video a couple of years ago of Dodge Viper being crushed. It broke my heart.
chris r ya. True. But the prototypes are just an idea really. I don’t know how to elaborate but the prototypes aren’t built for safety really. The idea was if they ended up crashing the lawsuits would have been unforeseeable and then you have the problem with registration, who’s gonna insure this thing and you can’t title it and that means you can’t sell it. Other than that? Your good to go lol
styldsteel1 yeah after learning more about the process I completely understand why they do it, but Damn it's hard watching those beautiful cars get crushed.
I just bought the 2016 GT 5.0 Performance package and i love it.
+Joseph Rolon Mine comes on Monday, same car! What color did you get? I got race red
+Jimmy870 Deep impact blue... I have since added White GT500 race stripes, roush Rear spoiler (black) , Roush shift knob (white) Roush winglets Roush side window scoops and the Roush Hood scoop. also to protect the front and hood i did a xpel clear bra wrap on the front end. Next is Borla ATAK cat-back and Roush supercharger
What's your job? I'm actually curious being a 15 year old.
IsJasonJay I'm working right now in the property maintenance field but I also invest in stocks
+Joseph Rolon awesome, bro. I have a tiny 14' 3.7 with a few bolt ons. I have heard mixed reviews on the atak line recently. why not straight pipe? Also, are you running stock tune?
What an amazing interview. Thank you, Jay!
R.I.P LEE...
RIP Mr Iacocca, you created such an iconic car! 🙏🏻❤️
As much as I'm neither a mustang or Ford fan (Bowtie lifer here), you just have to appreciate and respect what this car and Iacocca did to revolutionize the American automotive industry. Thanks for dreaming this car up so I could eventually end up with a Camaro.
People who dislike this design probably don't know how to appreciate elegant, thoughtful, subtle, but significant design. Take for example the new typography and needles for the instrumental cluster. Just gorgeous. And that GT typography on the back is just perfect.
Ford had nothing on GM when it came to 60s design.
Or they just have different tastes
4th of July, Iacocca's passing on the 2nd, and easily one of the most easily recognizable American products ever produced...Trifecta!
Thanks Iacocca for the Mustang and for saving the Chrysler/Dodge brand, may you rest in peace.
What an incredible interview with an automotive icon.
Thank you Jay.
Keep up the great work.
yes fishing is a great pastime.
Wow, Lee Iacocca - what a "get"! The man who saved Chrysler, the first time around. My Dad went out and bought a 64-1/2 when it first came out. I think we first saw them at the World's Fair. His was a stripper - six cylinder, three-speed, 13" tires. It was a ragtop, though.
5:31 "What made you such a car guy?" Great question, Lee. He's still got it!
I had a '65 convertible in high school. Paid $100 for it. A mountain of rust, but fun!
I know there are lots of people out there who don't like this new Mustang, but I think Ford did a wonderful job of making a brand-new design while still keeping enough original styling cues to make it look like a Mustang. You don't have to wonder, "what kind of car is *that*?" You know immediately that it's a Mustang.
i agree completely. honestly people are scared of change, but they are demanding it at the same time. they say its been retro for to many years and that ford needs to change it up. well ford changed it and did great and now they are like, why did you get rid of retro it looks to European. but honestly its lighter, wider, lower, more powerful, and all new suspension can you just imagine for one second!!! How much of a problem this new mustang is going to give the camaro this is a world class car and for that it needs to look world class not retro i cant wait to drive it
oh also i forgot better fuel economy in the 5.0 as well... the camaro is going to bankrupt gm no one is going to buy it when this car will out run its zl1 lol 5.0 out run the zl1 i cant wait its going to happen mark my words lol
I'm kinda sad to hear that they switched to independent rear suspension even though it allows for way better handling performance wise. Nothing will ever beat a Ford 9 inch rear end, even if its a top of the line independent rear end lol. This new era of mustang will dominate and continue to flourish like it has been for the last 50 years.
I agree with you about the Ford 9" -- but (unless I'm mistaken) the Mustang has used the Ford 8.8" since the early 2000s? I think? And that's not a bad one, but it's not the 9".
But yeah, for a live rear-axle, nothing can beat the Ford 9". (And I'm not forgetting about the Dana axles, which are tough as nails, it's just that they're used in off-road vehicles usually, not in cars.)
No your right, Ford used the 8.8 in rear end but a lot of people would swap out for the 9 in. I've got a dana 60 rear axle in my '74 f250 and a 44 up front, nothing beats that besides another 60 up front which is what I'm looking for lol.
Iacocca's smile when they said the cobra ❤
Wow, Mr. Iacocca! A very intelligent man. I'd like to hear more from him, the conclusions he drew back then and the conclusions he would draw today.
@G hrvyck I have :D.
He actually did write an autobiography in the late 1980’s. Iacocca-An Autobiography, written with William Novak. I read it then as a kid, and was fascinated. The man was a true visionary, and one of the most important men of his generation (or any other, for that matter!).
RIP Mr. Iacocca. You forever changed the auto industry.
I love that lee asked jay a question
It seems that the younger people aren't into this car culture and history. As long as it's good on mileage, has Bluetooth, and a great stereo with lights, they love it! All this history of classic cars and the culture that follows with it, is fading away. Those lucky enough to own classic cars and collectibles, have maybe 20-30 years left til this disposable society has no use or value for them. It's sad but true. I've heard it from collectors for years. I'm on my 2nd mustang GT, and love it. Mostly people 30+ years old care to comment or ask me about it. How do true automotive enthusiasts keep this rich history and car culture going in a world with smart phone apps and tweets? God bless you Jay. What you have, you share with the world with each show. Life in overdrive, and sometimes cruise control.
Mr Iacocca created an icon... Thank you for all your job...
R.I.P LEE IACOCA
I didn't want this video to end! Amazing cars and amazing people!
I have watched almost every episode but this one is my favorite. Absolutely amazing to see Leno and Iacocca together. God Bless Detroit!
One of the Best Shows Ever! Loved to see Mr. Iacocca, a real credit to the Italians.
being a ford guy, I just love all this nostalgia
R.I.P. Lee Iacocca.
Love it! Glad to see Mr. Iacocca again.
these episodes can be as great as the cars. what a classic!
wow!
I wanted to see Lee Iacocca do a burnout in the 2015 GT!
Just finished Carroll Shelby's "lost interview" on My classic car. Shelby had a lot of love for Lee and credited him for being the enabler behind the Cobra and the Viper.
Just saw this for the first time. RIP Lee, the automotive community will always miss and appreciate you
Keep up the good work Jay (and crew). Love your passion for cars. Very eclectic.
I will always own a Mustang.
+Harley Williams preach brother...
+Harley Williams you look like matt farah
Amen brother
Thanks for a great interview Jay, maybe only you could have done that.
Would love to meet all 3 of these guys. True Automotive Legends!🙌
Love this car and jays passion for the mustang!!! Thank you for sharing it!
the new mustang looks great!!
Great to see Mr Iacocca.......
Lee has always been a "hero" of mine. What a wonderful human being. 🙂
Jay is total Class. His paying homage to Lee Iaccoca and Lee's brilliant career and loyalty to his Country is much to be respected. Congratulations Jay another great video.
I love how the first mustang was sold in Newfoundland, Canada
It wasn't, it was sold in Chicago.

24:34 "we weren't going to do that to the mustang" -2020 GT500 ohhh really?
Yeah. Now it’s “You can’t shift as fast as this [automatic].” What an about face!
Iacocca is a legend, read his autobiography, good stuff.
out of all your, "garage" videos, this one is my favorite. Lee Iacocca is AWESOME.
Just got the engine of my number 63 running again. 635000 miles then 25 years in the garage. Original owner, well I inherited it from my dad. Car was totalled 3 times once a garage burned down on top of it. It was worked on originally by my father and Cole Palen who formed the Rheinbeck aerodrome. With some luck it will be back on the road this summer.
Rest in peace lee
God bless man
Great video Jay, nice to look back at the history behind the Ford Mustang, well done.
It’s amazing that you had Lee on your show, definitely my favorite show of all time now
RIP Mr Iacocca, so sad that FB is blocking the image of this post from it's Newsfeed. They have no respect for anyone.
Amen to Lee Iacocca!!!
A REAL American.
I looked up to Mr. Iacocca so much in high school and especially when I started business school at university. A true American icon. Nowadays everyone throw’s around terms like icon and goat, but this man really 𝘪𝘴 these things.
Well done video... It's the best I've seen yet on this upcoming beauty. Thank you
When the mustang came out, I thought he designed it for me
Jay and his crew really should have given Iaccocca a chair-looks like he is struggling to stand that long.
Hey I agree with you but he's 89 and he grew up "Old World Style" like me and probably refused a chair,it's that "I want to die on my feet" mentality. But for his age,Mr.Iacocca looked great+was mentally sharp as a tack.:-) I loved his Red Sox hat. :-)
agree with vampirebear13. in his time, he was a man's man. that never fades away. if everyone else is standing, he probably demanded to stand along with them.
Robaroo
Yea people would scramble to get Mr.Iacocca a chair if he needed one.I'm sure he wanted to stand next to his beautiful creations one last time on a cool trendy car show. :D
@@Vampirebear13 my thoughts too. I'm sure Jay tried to make him sit and he refused.
phototristan no
What an amazing video, thank you Mr. Leno !
Just happened to see this video today. I feel proud having a new Mustang now knowing how much it changed everything when it came out. I will cherish my Mustang until I pass it on to my children. Thanks Mr Iacocca.
RIP Lido Anthony " Lee" iacocca, 94.
a very nice mustang
jleno fell in love with it. i can't wait to see it in person.
I still LOVE that commercial he did with Snoop Dog. Hilarious.
Snoop Dog: If the ride's more fly, then you must buy.
Lee: That's what I hear.
Hey Jay! A few years ago I wrote a letter to you after I read in article in Car and Driver about how you gave one lucky kid a ride to school in one of your cars. Anyway, I was just wondering if you had ever received the letter. I drew a picture of a red 1967 Shelby GT500 on the front of the letter with the Indian logo next to it because I knew that you really liked Indian motorcycles. I know the chances of you seeing this are low but here's to hoping!
ProDrift101 he talked about that countach ride with Doug Demuro
I'm sure he got your letter. You have a good heart. God bless you.
Ford is doing it right with this next generation mustang. Looks great and I know it will sell. Thank you Jay for another great video. Please DO NOT crush the prototype!
Such a beautiful car. Love the euro style numeric keypad on the dash and center reverse light
Such a huge fan of the Mustang....this video just made my day!! thanks Jay Leno!
Someday I'll own one!!
I actually quite like the way it looks. Hated it at first but it grew on me fast.
