Everyone Thought Chrysler Was Finished—Until THIS $1B Move
In 1979, Chrysler was on the verge of collapse. With $1.1 billion in losses, 140,000 jobs at risk, and bankruptcy looming, America’s third-largest automaker looked like a lost cause. Wall Street wrote them off. The public braced for disaster.

But then came Lee Iacocca.

Fired from Ford and fueled by purpose, Iacocca stepped in to save Chrysler with one of the boldest corporate comebacks in American history. It wasn’t muscle cars or luxury sedans that saved the company—it was the humble, boxy K-car, built on a revolutionary idea called platform engineering.

In this video, we explore:
🚗 Chrysler’s near-death experience
