Once again a documentary dissing AMF . AMF brought in CNC machinery and development of the EVO. Raegan put the Tarriff on the Jap bikes because they were using unfair trade policys. The big 4 Jap agreed to sell their bikes to the USA for cost and in some cases undercost to put HD out of buisness.

Bring manufacturing back to the US where it belongs. None of that China crap.

What a crock of shit!... The car did in fact go in reverse. It just so happen that at its unveiling a rod had broke making that one and only car unable to reverse. All the other cars did, so some stooge in the press caught wind of the mishap and posted a bullshit article.

My father was the son of Bernard DePlanche (Boxer Kid Hogan), Harry’s best friend and service department member. Links to, The Lord Fox restaurant (back room), gifts of live tigers, and nights in Harry Bennet’s Ypsilanti castle all contribute.

The Falcon came out in 1960, not 1957.

Yes the Saab 900T and Saab 9000T was a hell of a car

Sir William is rolling in his grave seeing what Jaguar has become with its DEI gay rainbow shit. That idiotic commercial they made had fuck all to do with the brand. I'll never buy another car from Jaguar. 🖕🏻🖕🏻

Jesus, complete whitewashing of history. Did the family pay you for this? How do you skip the Battle of the Overpass?!?

So many lies in the first two minutes. Complete bullshit.

The achievements with sports cars from these guys in the 1960s were both groundbreaking and historically significant.

I've been a subscriber for twenty years as a truck driver. First, with XM, then with the current company. The original Roady and Roady II were perfect for me because I could easily transfer these units from vehicle to vehicle, as my work called for. Nowadays, I can't find a unit with which I can do that switch, unless I buy a vintage Roady from Ebay!

Through a series of bad decisions, Chrysler went down the toilet, and now is owned by a French company I wouldn’t give two cents for one of their vehicles

Does this documentary include their most recent bout of insanity?

This story is so fascinating. The Dodges had Henry by the you know what's! WHAT a stroke of LUCK for Henry they died.

I heard the host of this say Ford was in financial trouble during WW2. What history books did this guy read?

Henry ll made very good farm tractors.To bad the family did not carry it on after he passed away.

The Falcon was introducing in 1959, not 1957. Iacocca was fired because he was getting all the press, and The Duce could not handle that.

👏🏻👏🏻

Tucker was able to raise about 25% of the amount of money that would be needed to produce an all new car from the ground up. The fact he got as far as he did on almost no money was a testament to his drive and charisma, but he never really had a shot. And the big three didn't conspire to put him out of business, matter of fact every Tucker is fitted with a Lincoln steering wheel that were gifted to Tucker from Lincoln because the wheel Tucker was designing wasn't ready yet so they sent those over to help out. If you're trying to put someone out of business you don't give them 70 steering wheels. Those are actual facts.

18:50 Mustang promoted by Iacocca and on Falcon platform.

12:40 Falcon out in 1960. Rambler and Studebaker had small cars in 1959. Corvair out in 1960 too. GM senior compacts 1961.

Images of ships and vehicles not necessarily representative of what is said in the script.

Saab never did never buld and sell more than about 134000 units a year. The top year was 1987, close followed by year 2000.

I have had a truck for 28 years, and the motor for 35. It's a 1975 Ford F250 Highboy with a '69 warmed up 460 out of a cop car-starts right up, goes anywhere, and will pull about anything I hook to. It isn't pretty anymore (kinda like me), but it's faithful and reliable, the dog loves it as much as i do, and it won't be sold as long as I'm alive! Best of all-NO COMPUTER!

Your coverage of Bill Ford gave him too much credit. While he did step to the side and bring in Alan Mulally from Boeing, it was AM's leadership innovations which literally SAVED Ford Motors and kept them from having to borrow "Obamoney," as documented well in "American Icon."

EVs SUCK SHlT !!

Thanks for doing this.

This thumbnail 😂

Good grief - the guy can’t even pronounce Jaguar 🤦‍♀️

We own two Ford vehicles, a 1997 old body style F250 HD with just over 270,000 on the clock. We bought it when it was just five years old after belonging to a building superintendent. It’s got a bedliner gooseneck hitch 2 Wheel Dr., The E4 OD transmission, coupled to the 5.8 L 351 Windsor. It needs a little TLC catalytic converters, a couple of sensors and there’s a parasitic draw somewhere, but she still starts and runs every time all the time. The second is the 2003 Ford Explorer with the two valve 4.6 modular engine. Anybody recall the transmission used in that I wanna say 4r55 or 5r 55. It’s four-wheel-drive model, Eddie Bauer edition. It has some issues. It tends to suddenly lose oil pressure when it’s idle, and I suspect either the rear end or one of the wheel bearing says gone south. It currently sits unfortunately. But my first exposure to the Ford lineup would be in the form other than a tank of an automobile and a donation car to boot a 1977 Mercury colony Park wagon with the 460 a Lincoln exclusive until 1972. It was the daily driver until my dad was driving home from work one day and it threw the rod at the end of the block so he coasted it to the house parked it, where it sat and eventually got scrapped probably. I think the oil pump went out. But it was such a comfortable riding vehicle.

I wake up everyday itching for a c3. Last night i sat down and just cried for a bit. Im going to get it no matter what. 7 more months baby.

Ferrari really had some serious issues with farmers

Can anyone tell me more about the 4.9 T- 6 engine the narrator mentioned?

⚠AI⚠

Nice try, AI- but nowhere near good enough. 'Classic Car Documentaries' or whoever- if you're too lazy or don't care enough to give us the real thing, WE SHOULDN'T WATCH. There's still plenty of 'real' to be found- Harry's Garage, Tyrrell's Classic, Jay Leno's.. FK AI!!

How come that you were so precise until the modern era? You just forgot the 900 NG and the first gen 9-3, and the 1st gen 95 which were the best examples of saab’s “rebel” youngster mood… not good.

You' may find this hard to believe, because I'm experienced in classic cars and not the kind of guy you could easily flimflam, but I had a 1971 Dodge Demon in show condition worth $22,000 and these lowballers got it for only $2800. They'd advertised themselves as established classic car buyers and I had no qualms about their integrity. I was blinded by anger. When they offered me the ridiculous $2800, I was so angry I told them to take the car and get out of here. When I cooled off, it was too late. I sold the car by myself and I should have gotten help.

Thank you for a great video but just a couple questions. I never knew a movie was produced about Preston Tucker that featured Leonardo DiCaprio. Secondly, you omitted the part during WW2 whereby Preston Tucker had a Gov't. contract to build plastic " Bubbles ", on bombers to protect machine gunners. He made those in his Ypsilanti machine shop. Otherwise, thank you. I own a model of a Tucker ' 48 ' along with the movie which I love but I'm always interested in seeing more about this incredible man.

The Prancing Horse is featured on the Porsche badge. It's the symbol of Stuttgart hence why it was on the Italian fighter plane...

0:14 "nearly a million vehicles a year" is total bullshit. 1984 was the first year they made more than 100.000 (one hundred thousand) cars...

It does appear Henry was a mean spirited, nasty, hateful, clever person who was totally intolerant of those who did not agree with him.

I own a c2. In the past I’ve owned a c4, a c5, and two c6s . Love each one for different reasons. I’m thinking about a c8 but that will come when the used market settles a bit.

I’d take a Lee Iacocca over a Trump or a Musk any day!

Ford is a legend. "Any colour you want as long as it's black" Lol.

And look at what they did to the company. CEO is involved in all sorts of lame gay marketing shit which can never work. They are destroying their sales eventually. Mr. Lyons it was nice to hear your story but it seems the co. is in wrong hands. I consider Jaguar still as a top brand even if it has lost its touch but now the spark has lost.

Great video, but just a small correction: Louis Chevrolet was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, not 'La Chaux-de-Ponds.' Fun fact: La Chaux-de-Fonds is to the watchmaking industry what Detroit is to the car industry-a hub of innovation and craftsmanship. Keep up the awesome work!

Walt... was a JERK! Give them a ride FIRST!! THEN you can tear it apart for WEEKS!!

Correction: The Bel-Air came out in 1955, not 1957. But the photo was correct, of a 1955 Bel-Air.

Over produced, overcooked, overdone - unwatchable.
