Lee Iacocca Returns to Chrysler in Ad Campaign

Lee Iacocca, who uttered Chrysler's tagline, "If you can find a better car, buy it," in 61 commercials during his reign as turnaround CEO for the troubled car company, is returning as pitchman in a set of new commercials. The deal calls for Iacocca to appear, initially, in three spots with compensation in the form of a Chrysler donation to Iacocca's diabetes research foundation along with $1 for every Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep sold for the rest of the year.

I wish he could do the same for our vintage racing Dodge Charger. Antone has his e-mail address ?

Does anyone remember the story behind the ad campaign pitch to Iacocca involving the car and a waterfall? The creative pitched the idea without any stroyboards. Just a tape recorder, and an "imagine this" attitude. I'm trying to find more on the subject.
