Lee Iacocca was not "Ford's chief engineer" when the Mustand was designed. He had just been named Vice President and General Manager of the Ford Division in 1960. Iacocca hand-picked a team of young product planners to explore ideas for the new car. They would come to be known as the “Fairlane Committee,” after the Fairlane Inn Motel, where they held their weekly secret meetings. The meetings were kept secret because Iacocca’s boss, Henry Ford II, wasn’t onboard with the idea of a new sporty car.
