1
00:00:47,514 --> 00:00:53,652
Man:
This is our design development
department here,

2
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:56,522
where basically the mustang's
been designed since 50 years.

3
00:00:58,324 --> 00:01:00,392
Not many people have access
to this room

4
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:04,096
so you're very privileged to
see where magic is happening.

5
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:12,438
You can imagine every single
designer in this building

6
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,139
wants to be part of the story.

7
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:22,748
Man: The designers now
can sketch on the computer,

8
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:27,386
but I think that some
of the creativity is lost.

9
00:01:27,388 --> 00:01:31,423
I think a sculpture
adds a lot of ideas

10
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:33,292
that you don't do
with a computer.

11
00:01:38,731 --> 00:01:41,667
Man: That's one cost that's
held through design.

12
00:01:41,669 --> 00:01:43,802
We never left Clay models.

13
00:01:51,244 --> 00:01:53,378
There's nothing like getting
a three-dimensional product

14
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:55,681
that you can take outside,
put it in the sun,

15
00:01:55,683 --> 00:01:57,850
spin it around on a turntable,
and look at it.

16
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:03,755
Man:
You cannot evaluate

17
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:05,290
just looking
at a two-dimensional screen.

18
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:07,192
You gotta have to have
the experience

19
00:02:07,194 --> 00:02:09,394
walking around the Clay
and touching it

20
00:02:09,396 --> 00:02:11,330
and feeling it
with your hands actually.

21
00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:17,769
Man: All these lines,
they have to know each other.

22
00:02:19,539 --> 00:02:21,573
You can see right through
the middle

23
00:02:21,575 --> 00:02:23,408
where you have
the horizontal lines

24
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:25,777
which are giving the length
and strength to the car.

25
00:02:25,779 --> 00:02:28,647
And then the haunches
is ready to pounce

26
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:31,817
as it dives down and actually
points to the wheels.

27
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,652
So the entire power
is right there

28
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:35,187
where he's touching it.

29
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:42,361
Man: The designer puts
emotion into a car.

30
00:02:42,363 --> 00:02:43,795
He puts life into it.

31
00:02:43,797 --> 00:02:45,697
This is what people
are looking for.

32
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:48,734
This is what gets them excited.
It's that magic.

33
00:02:48,736 --> 00:02:51,637
It's that ingredient x,
the thing that turns it on,

34
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,339
that gives it that spark
that makes people say,

35
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:55,741
"I've got to have that."

36
00:02:57,677 --> 00:03:01,346
A car is really rolling art
when you get right down to it.

37
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:10,756
Man: The very first mustang
was designed in this room.

38
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:15,527
It's basically the spirit
of mustang looking over

39
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,696
every designer,
so make sure

40
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:19,531
that we don't screw up
the next model.

41
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:29,408
Designing a good-looking car
is absolutely easy as pie.

42
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:35,714
Designing a car
that the company can afford,

43
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:38,317
the manufacturing guys
can assemble,

44
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:42,821
the engineers can engineer,
that's damn difficult.

45
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,485
Man:
It's a creation

46
00:04:46,487 --> 00:04:48,487
just as art is a creation.

47
00:04:48,489 --> 00:04:50,489
Each new car,
you're going

48
00:04:50,491 --> 00:04:53,025
where no one's
gone before,

49
00:04:53,027 --> 00:04:55,294
and you're talking about,
you know,

50
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:57,829
hundreds of millions of dollars
and even billions of dollars.

51
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,766
Every day in the life
of a program,

52
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:03,702
you're living on the edge
of the cliff.

53
00:05:03,704 --> 00:05:05,704
Female reporter:
Welcome back now to Detroit.

54
00:05:05,706 --> 00:05:08,407
The fourth largest city in
the U.S. filed for bankruptcy

55
00:05:08,409 --> 00:05:10,809
Thursday afternoon
after struggling

56
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:13,045
with an $18 billion debt.

57
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:25,724
Man:
Everything is a huge risk.

58
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:27,826
We've had several brushes
with death.

59
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,494
Those other companies
didn't purposely

60
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:32,764
go out of business,
but it happens.

61
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:36,468
Every little detail
can be a big, big decision.

62
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:41,640
In the end, the person who
should be making those calls

63
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:44,576
is the chief program engineer.

64
00:05:44,578 --> 00:05:46,044
Man on telephone: I'm gonna show
you the file here

65
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:47,646
tracking all the way.

66
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:49,815
As the chief engineer,
you're accountable

67
00:05:49,817 --> 00:05:52,617
for every success and every
failure on this program.

68
00:05:52,619 --> 00:05:54,886
Man on telephone:
If I remember,
it's like 71 pounds.

69
00:05:54,888 --> 00:05:57,756
- 70 pounds heavier?
- Yes.

70
00:05:57,758 --> 00:05:59,858
- Guys.
- Hau: It's
a stand-and-deliver job.

71
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:02,127
I'm just saying the scope
of the program does not align

72
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:03,862
with what we're trying to do.

73
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,964
We're spending most
of the money on this program

74
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:07,966
is being spent
for fuel economy,

75
00:06:07,968 --> 00:06:09,868
and yet we're adding 70 pounds
of weight to the car.

76
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,937
That's like--
that doesn't even make sense.

77
00:06:11,939 --> 00:06:14,573
Mustang is--
i always describe it

78
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:17,409
as the vehicle that everyone in
the company aspires to work on.

79
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,913
From the design team,
to marketing,

80
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:24,116
there are literally thousands
of people in the company

81
00:06:24,118 --> 00:06:24,116
working on mustang.

82
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:30,722
Hau: At the end of the day,
maybe only 30 of those people

83
00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:33,492
actually work
for the chief engineer.

84
00:06:33,494 --> 00:06:37,429
The nature of the job is you're
accountable for everything,

85
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:40,499
but you don't control directly
any of the resources.

86
00:06:42,502 --> 00:06:44,403
It really comes down
to getting people

87
00:06:44,405 --> 00:06:46,638
who don't report to you
to do what you need them to do.

88
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:51,176
It's the ultimate definition
of being a leader.

89
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:52,677
Before we even talk
weight buys,

90
00:06:52,679 --> 00:06:54,012
we better talk
weight efficiency

91
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,881
of all the actions that
we're taking

92
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:57,616
because we're not gonna
throw more money in this car

93
00:06:57,618 --> 00:06:59,584
just to offset an inefficient
addition to the program.

94
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,887
That we're not gonna do.

95
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:04,523
Art: You cannot settle
for the wrong answer.

96
00:07:04,525 --> 00:07:08,160
You cannot be second-best.

97
00:07:08,162 --> 00:07:10,562
It's a very,
very difficult job.

98
00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:42,928
Do I feel pressure?

99
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:46,765
As chief engineer,
you have a ton of pressure,

100
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,467
but it's good and bad, right?

101
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:50,802
We have a huge responsibility
to keep mustang going

102
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,671
in the direction
that it needs to go

103
00:07:52,673 --> 00:07:55,941
and yet at the same time never
forgetting where we came from.

104
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,609
I do have decision-making tools.

105
00:07:57,611 --> 00:08:02,080
We have an 8 ball,
and this is a--

106
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:04,216
the 8 ball that you'd find
in any store.

107
00:08:04,218 --> 00:08:06,751
This-- actually,
we refer to this a lot.

108
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:08,954
It has guided us
along the way.

109
00:08:08,956 --> 00:08:11,756
The other decision-making
tools we have

110
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:16,127
are persuasive tools
like bats and hammers

111
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:17,629
and things like that
that we, you know,

112
00:08:17,631 --> 00:08:19,130
when we want something
to make sure

113
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:20,799
that they understand
that we're being serious.

114
00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:23,568
You spend 12 to 14 hours
a day together.

115
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:26,605
If we can't have fun
and if we can't sort of laugh

116
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:28,840
about things every once
in a while,

117
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:30,842
then it's gonna get pretty
boring and you're not gonna get

118
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:33,144
the best out of people,
so we try to keep it alive.

119
00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:37,649
So yeah, we use some of these
tools of decision-making.

120
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,753
Yeah.

121
00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:49,995
Well,
that's a good question.

122
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:54,966
We're still starting
with initial sketches

123
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:56,801
that the designers do.

124
00:08:56,803 --> 00:08:59,037
I don't think that process
has changed much

125
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:01,840
since day one in cars.

126
00:09:01,842 --> 00:09:04,209
Gale: From the sketch,
they make a Clay model.

127
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:08,079
Then, we release that Clay
to the engineers.

128
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:11,149
We need to engineer the car

129
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:14,753
to work around
the appearance first

130
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:16,922
just trying to get
the pieces to fit.

131
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:25,330
A thousand details
that are behind every tiny,

132
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:29,935
little thing you see,
that is what makes a great car.

133
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:32,237
Every single part
of the car is new,

134
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:35,273
2,000-plus parts that
have to be designed,

135
00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:38,143
developed,
tested, and assembled.

136
00:09:38,145 --> 00:09:39,911
Like real textures,
wheel covers...

137
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:41,279
- Door handles...
- Engines, wheel base...

138
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:43,181
- Rear view mirror.
- ...Plates....

139
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:51,122
Prakash: All those things have
to be designed in that product.

140
00:09:51,124 --> 00:09:54,225
And remember, you have to make
these cars in their thousands.

141
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:57,629
Marcy:
It's really complicated,

142
00:09:57,631 --> 00:10:00,131
making sure
that we design the vehicle

143
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:03,101
so that the people
who have to put the car together

144
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:06,004
can do it easily.

145
00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:08,006
Edsel:
If you said to me,

146
00:10:08,008 --> 00:10:09,841
"what's
the most important thing

147
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:12,944
your great-grandfather
Henry Ford ever did?"

148
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:16,648
I would say to you
the movie "assembly line."

149
00:10:16,650 --> 00:10:19,150
That's what really took
the car business

150
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:23,121
from a cottage industry
to what we are today.

151
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:26,257
There are tremendous changes
being made in the technology.

152
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:30,161
What hasn't changed
is the process.

153
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:33,131
What we call the job 1 day,
it's really the finish line

154
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,966
for the whole team
and that's when

155
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:37,235
the 2015 mustang launches.

156
00:10:37,237 --> 00:10:39,204
Man:
Job 1 is mass production.

157
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:42,007
It's really a culmination of
how everything comes together.

158
00:10:42,009 --> 00:10:45,744
Because as you can imagine,
being a chief engineer,

159
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:48,246
when you start
shipping vehicles,

160
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:50,749
that's probably the biggest
moment of your career.

161
00:10:50,751 --> 00:10:54,052
When the first set of customers
get in the car,

162
00:10:54,054 --> 00:10:56,755
the goal that I set out
several years ago

163
00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:58,289
will have been achieved.

164
00:10:58,291 --> 00:11:00,759
But job 1 for us is--
that's when the car's

165
00:11:00,761 --> 00:11:04,295
gonna start shipping out
on trains and on car carriers,

166
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:06,698
and they're gonna go to real
people in people's driveways,

167
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,999
and that's what job 1
really is.

168
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,986
Now that's the most expensive
way to solve an issue.

169
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:29,854
What I wanna work through
the next couple days

170
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:32,357
is the more efficient way
of solving the issue, right?

171
00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:34,959
All right.

172
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:36,995
And chief made the night
schedule last night

173
00:11:36,997 --> 00:11:40,198
before the director called,
unless you changed
your schedule.

174
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,233
- No, no, no, that's fine.
- The answer was open.

175
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:45,103
I have to pick up the kids
tonight so I will be available,

176
00:11:45,105 --> 00:11:46,805
I just have to get mobile
at some point.

177
00:11:46,807 --> 00:11:48,740
So anyway, I will join you
for a little bit.

178
00:11:48,742 --> 00:11:51,309
- You're coming to see me?
- For a few minutes.

179
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:01,052
Morning, morning, morning.
Don't give me that look.

180
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,961
Morning, everybody.

181
00:12:09,963 --> 00:12:13,865
Man: So okay up in this
a-pillar joint here.

182
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:16,935
- Yeah?
- There's an air leak.

183
00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:18,470
Through here,
there's a water leak

184
00:12:18,472 --> 00:12:20,472
and then we had the squeak
up here at the top

185
00:12:20,474 --> 00:12:22,874
of the Cal-top
to the a pillar.

186
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:26,010
- Other than that, this was the
best joint we've ever designed.

187
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:36,221
You know, you guys are freaking
all these people out
with the cameras.

188
00:12:36,223 --> 00:12:39,457
Seriously, they--
they are, like, just beyond.

189
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,763
We're just gonna go
for a walk.

190
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:46,364
I'll wait for you.

191
00:12:46,366 --> 00:12:49,300
Are they down?

192
00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:51,102
When did that happen?

193
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:57,776
Um, he said we had
a part shortage.

194
00:12:57,778 --> 00:12:59,844
The plant is down.
They're not producing today.

195
00:13:10,856 --> 00:13:12,457
We don't have parts.

196
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:14,359
We can't build cars.
So it's a big deal.

197
00:13:14,361 --> 00:13:16,060
If you think about it,
not only do we have to pay

198
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:18,429
the employees
and they're not producing cars,

199
00:13:18,431 --> 00:13:19,964
but we're losing
the production of those cars,

200
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:22,333
which in this plant
is, you know--

201
00:13:22,335 --> 00:13:25,236
mustangs alone,
it's well over 300 cars

202
00:13:25,238 --> 00:13:28,239
that are being lost today
plus the fusion.

203
00:13:28,241 --> 00:13:31,075
And so that's--
the numbers are huge.

204
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:34,212
So it's not something
you like to see.

205
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:43,121
Hau:
The auto business is a really
asset-intensive business.

206
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:46,891
You can't build a car if you're
missing one fastener, right?

207
00:13:46,893 --> 00:13:49,327
It could be something
as simple as a five-cent part.

208
00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:56,034
To do a car program,
you literally--

209
00:13:56,036 --> 00:13:58,303
you invest a billion dollars.

210
00:13:58,305 --> 00:13:59,838
If you're not successful,

211
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,573
you can lose money
very quickly,

212
00:14:01,575 --> 00:14:03,474
and there's a lot
of people's jobs at stake,

213
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:06,477
you know, people's livelihoods.
And in an assembly plant,

214
00:14:06,479 --> 00:14:09,380
we employ, you know,
900 to 1,000 people

215
00:14:09,382 --> 00:14:12,283
on one shift,
and that's just Ford.

216
00:14:14,086 --> 00:14:16,087
If you think about
the supply base,

217
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:19,357
it's a multiplier
of seven or so.

218
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:22,493
It's-- you know, it's not
something to be taken lightly.

219
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:38,009
Man:
This is a tough business.

220
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:41,546
I mean, look, we're the first
city to declare bankruptcy.

221
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:43,348
Um...

222
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:44,549
There's a lot of pressure
on those guys

223
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:46,017
because they have
to get it right.

224
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,388
Dave: Well, I think
that this car means a lot

225
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:53,291
to the automotive industry
and I think that it's a sense

226
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:55,326
of pride for everybody
in the Detroit area, you know?

227
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:01,266
Whether you're gm or Chrysler,
it doesn't matter.

228
00:15:01,268 --> 00:15:04,269
American car companies wanna
see the American cars do well.

229
00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:16,447
Hau: If you go down
to downtown Detroit,

230
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:17,916
you see the Joe Louis fist.

231
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:23,187
When we start the design
process, we'll pick images,

232
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:25,523
non-automotive related,
to really provide

233
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:28,426
the designers
with the inspiration.

234
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:32,330
For the 2015 car, it was this
fist punching through the air.

235
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:39,570
Man: My sketch has this
very strong feature,

236
00:15:39,572 --> 00:15:41,639
a strong chin,
i wanna call it.

237
00:15:41,641 --> 00:15:45,143
It has like the
very masculine face

238
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:47,712
and eyes which are
very fearless as well.

239
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:54,285
We really wanted
that very strong look,

240
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:57,355
not only conveying power,
but very much

241
00:15:57,357 --> 00:15:59,557
a salt-of-the-earth,
working,

242
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,293
not trying to be something
that it's not.

243
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:05,296
That was the imagery
we wanted for the mustang,

244
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:07,098
and it's very much
a Detroit thing.

245
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:12,670
Art: You know,
i think it's not just the car.

246
00:16:12,672 --> 00:16:15,139
I think it's what
the car represents.

247
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:19,010
It's that feeling that you
can be what you want to be.

248
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:21,212
You can create yourself.

249
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:23,982
And that resonated the '60s,

250
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:28,019
and it continues to resonate
all around the world.

251
00:16:28,021 --> 00:16:30,254
Growing up in Europe
and having this little,

252
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:31,990
small four-cylinder engines
and you all of a sudden,

253
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:33,458
see this American v8,

254
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:35,259
which sounds amazing,
like a lion.

255
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:39,364
I had posters I remember
of the mustang on my wall.

256
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,232
Art:
You can go to Thailand,

257
00:16:41,234 --> 00:16:42,700
and they know
what a mustang is.

258
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:46,637
You can go to Russia.
They want a mustang.

259
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:50,375
As a kid who grew up overseas,
the thing that stood out for me

260
00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:53,678
was seeing my first mustang when
i was growing up in Vietnam,

261
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,347
a 1970 super boss mustang.

262
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:59,650
It was part of
an army promotional tour.

263
00:16:59,652 --> 00:17:03,221
It symbolized everything
that was special about America.

264
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:05,423
Living in Vietnam,
that's what you envisioned.

265
00:17:05,425 --> 00:17:08,192
The soldiers were big
and strong,

266
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,595
and this car just
embodied those things.

267
00:17:10,597 --> 00:17:12,697
Strength, power, freedom.

268
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:16,034
You envisioned this car running
at high speeds

269
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,602
in wide-open spaces,

270
00:17:17,604 --> 00:17:22,640
and that was a pretty powerful
image as a kid to see.

271
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:25,143
You know, my aspirations
living in Vietnam

272
00:17:25,145 --> 00:17:27,078
was to someday own a car.

273
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,447
That was a dream.

274
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:31,449
It was beyond
my wildest dreams to think

275
00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:34,719
that you could come to
not only live in the U.S.,

276
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:37,221
go through
the public school system

277
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:40,658
but then be in charge
of this iconic product.

278
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,696
If you wanna call
that the American dream,

279
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:48,733
if that's not it,
i don't know what is, you know?

280
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:13,491
When you're 16 years old,
first sign of freedom

281
00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:15,093
is you go out,
you get your driver's license,

282
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:17,862
and you get a car, okay,
and that's a freedom

283
00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:19,597
that stays with you
until somebody says

284
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,132
you can't drive anymore.

285
00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:29,107
I think you either
have a passion for driving

286
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,409
or it's just
a utilitarian thing

287
00:18:31,411 --> 00:18:33,611
that you got to do to get
from point a to point b.

288
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:35,480
Wilson pickett:

289
00:18:35,482 --> 00:18:38,549
I've loved the mustang
ever since I was a kid.

290
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:42,520
I had a fella on my street
that owned a 1965 mustang
fastback, fire-engine orange.

291
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:47,358
And if I even heard him
start the car,

292
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,327
I had to run out there
just to listen to it.

293
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:54,332
I'm driving a '68 coupe.

294
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:56,534
I own a 1990 saleen mustang.

295
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:58,436
1970 mach 1 mustang.

296
00:18:58,438 --> 00:19:01,472
I actually have an album
with pictures of all of my cars.

297
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:05,376
My '64 1/2.
My '68. '89 mustang gt.

298
00:19:05,378 --> 00:19:07,678
Mustang
is a subjective decision.

299
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,814
King cobra 1978.

300
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:12,717
If you're really logical,
you would never buy a mustang.

301
00:19:12,719 --> 00:19:14,252
I could show you lots more.

302
00:19:14,254 --> 00:19:16,187
It's an emotional decision.

303
00:19:24,264 --> 00:19:26,164
Everybody has a mustang story.

304
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,832
You don't have to own one
to have one.

305
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:30,234
You know somebody
that had a mustang.

306
00:19:30,236 --> 00:19:31,569
You know a story.

307
00:19:31,571 --> 00:19:33,271
Maybe it was that guy
in high school.

308
00:19:33,273 --> 00:19:35,640
Maybe it was your
sister-in-law's cousin.

309
00:19:35,642 --> 00:19:37,341
Who knows?

310
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:39,777
Thousands of people
on five continents

311
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:41,746
spend all of their time,
money and energy

312
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:43,447
supporting this car.

313
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:45,816
They've become a social network
around mustang.

314
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:47,518
There's nothing like it.

315
00:19:52,492 --> 00:19:55,293
My job is to have
a connection with fans.

316
00:19:55,295 --> 00:19:57,562
I'm basically the liaison

317
00:19:57,564 --> 00:19:59,664
between Ford motor company
and all the clubs.

318
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:02,667
You don't have to get, like,
a focus group, like,

319
00:20:02,669 --> 00:20:04,769
"who is the customer?"
It's me.

320
00:20:04,771 --> 00:20:07,271
I'm dealing
with my friends and me.

321
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:09,774
So communication isn't
you're just yelling out

322
00:20:09,776 --> 00:20:11,209
- your news to someone.

323
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:12,977
Hey listen,
do you hear something?

324
00:20:12,979 --> 00:20:15,846
It's my mustang clock.

325
00:20:15,848 --> 00:20:19,350
Every hour I'm reminded
of another mustang

326
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:21,652
and another generation
passing me by.

327
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:24,222
Of course, it drives the guy
at the call center crazy

328
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:25,923
when cars go by.

329
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:46,277
Dave: The car only exists
in some very rough prototypes,

330
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:47,812
which--
when I say it exists,

331
00:20:47,814 --> 00:20:50,581
it exists
from a chassis standpoint.

332
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,350
We've taken
the existing mustang,

333
00:20:52,352 --> 00:20:54,485
and we have cobbled it up
and bolted on

334
00:20:54,487 --> 00:20:56,921
all of the new bits and pieces
to make it drive.

335
00:20:56,923 --> 00:20:58,889
That's the only form
that exists.

336
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:00,591
Nothing real about it.
It's still just a model.

337
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:11,569
Tom Barnes, he is the leader
from the engineering team.

338
00:21:11,571 --> 00:21:13,804
They're the ones that make
all of the thoughts

339
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:16,674
and then the sketches,
and the dream and the vision

340
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:19,710
actually come to reality.

341
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:21,912
Steve: Whatever that car's
gonna drive like,

342
00:21:21,914 --> 00:21:23,881
sound like,
how quick is it,

343
00:21:23,883 --> 00:21:25,650
all that stuff
will come through tom.

344
00:21:25,652 --> 00:21:29,287
Hau: If you think
of the mustang as a company,

345
00:21:29,289 --> 00:21:32,356
Dave pericak as
the chief engineer is the ceo,

346
00:21:32,358 --> 00:21:35,860
and tom Barnes
is his chief technical officer.

347
00:21:35,862 --> 00:21:38,696
He's got the lead on all
the technical issues.

348
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:40,831
Steve: Where Dave is more
the captain of the ship,

349
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:43,934
tom is, I don't know...
Scotty.

350
00:21:43,936 --> 00:21:47,838
Data doesn't show what you'd
feel, which is very odd.

351
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,840
People have been working
on this car for 55 years.

352
00:21:49,842 --> 00:21:51,609
We're just a slice in time.

353
00:21:51,611 --> 00:21:54,645
Nine million people
have bought this car,

354
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:58,349
so the design people do
what they need to do.

355
00:21:58,351 --> 00:22:01,986
We engineer the car to work
around the awesome looks.

356
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,722
Dave: I always like
the creative tension

357
00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:06,724
between the design studio
and the engineering teams.

358
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:08,693
If you're not frustrated
with the design community,

359
00:22:08,695 --> 00:22:10,461
you probably have
a boring design

360
00:22:10,463 --> 00:22:12,363
because to engineer
a really good design

361
00:22:12,365 --> 00:22:14,532
is a lot harder
than to engineer a box.

362
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:20,504
Tom: You hear a car start
and then you can hear this

363
00:22:22,542 --> 00:22:24,108
and you know-- you're like,
"that's a mustang."

364
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:25,843
You can tell.
You can hear it.

365
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:30,681
You hear a car pull away--

366
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:33,084
and you're like,
"there's a mustang."

367
00:22:33,086 --> 00:22:37,855
Woman: We must have
50 different exhausts

368
00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:39,824
that we go through
and we've tuned

369
00:22:39,826 --> 00:22:43,728
- to make it sound right.

370
00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:46,497
Jack: Engineers can follow
the development of a car

371
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,566
day by day,
almost hour by hour.

372
00:22:48,568 --> 00:22:50,701
When any changes are made,
they instantly have

373
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:53,404
that information so they
can work out the feasibility.

374
00:22:53,406 --> 00:22:55,940
Tom: Most of the time,
it's very, very cool.

375
00:22:55,942 --> 00:22:58,776
Sometimes it can be,
you know, frustrating.

376
00:22:58,778 --> 00:23:02,079
You need to hit certain
timing constraints,

377
00:23:02,081 --> 00:23:05,616
and I always feel like--
try not to look at constraints

378
00:23:05,618 --> 00:23:07,918
and just look where the goal is
and figure out

379
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,854
how to get to the goal.

380
00:23:09,856 --> 00:23:12,490
Julie:
You want to engineer smart

381
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:14,592
and you wanna engineer on time.

382
00:23:14,594 --> 00:23:16,894
There are times at night
that that's a lot of pressure.

383
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:33,043
You don't want to be the guy
who gets to stand up

384
00:23:33,045 --> 00:23:34,812
when we get to job 1

385
00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:37,548
and say to the vice president,
"not quite done yet."

386
00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:39,049
I don't even know how
I'm gonna do that, Brent.

387
00:23:39,051 --> 00:23:41,152
When the decisions
come to Dave,

388
00:23:41,154 --> 00:23:43,854
it's usually,
"here is the cost,"

389
00:23:43,856 --> 00:23:45,089
and-or the trade-offs.

390
00:23:45,091 --> 00:23:47,091
There is no more money.

391
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:49,794
It is a one-in,
one-out game now.

392
00:23:49,796 --> 00:23:52,763
Art: What keeps him up at night
is the same thing that used

393
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:54,832
to keep me up at night at this
same point in time,

394
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:57,501
which is, "what are the things
i don't know?

395
00:23:57,503 --> 00:24:00,704
Because the things I don't know
are gonna hurt me."

396
00:24:00,706 --> 00:24:02,740
I don't know, I mean, I don't
know what to do with this.

397
00:24:02,742 --> 00:24:04,475
Or I don't know
how to escalate.

398
00:24:04,477 --> 00:24:06,143
Don't misunderstand
what we're saying.

399
00:24:06,145 --> 00:24:09,613
The steering wheel does not buzz
nearly as much as it used to,

400
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:13,083
no doubt,
but it is still buzzing

401
00:24:13,085 --> 00:24:15,486
and especially when
you're the driver,

402
00:24:15,488 --> 00:24:17,621
you're feeling it in your hand,
and you're feeling it
in your foot,

403
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:19,056
and those two together,

404
00:24:19,058 --> 00:24:21,592
you're feeling
a whole lot of vibration.

405
00:24:21,594 --> 00:24:24,628
You need to think ahead
of all those potential things

406
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,897
that could go wrong
and there's a thousand--

407
00:24:26,899 --> 00:24:28,799
more than a thousand of them.

408
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:30,835
- So you can hear a little bit
of latchiness, right?
- Yeah.

409
00:24:30,837 --> 00:24:32,803
They filled that
with a softer rubber.

410
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:36,507
Tom: A lot of what
i end up doing and certainly

411
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:41,779
what Dave ends up doing is just
pushing, constant pushing--

412
00:24:41,781 --> 00:24:44,482
what's next
and what's beyond?

413
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:45,683
Let's keep going.

414
00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:49,820
Dave:
Time lost is our enemy.

415
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:51,922
Once you get behind,
you never catch up.

416
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:56,627
Candidly, if we're gonna
have this car out in fall

417
00:24:56,629 --> 00:25:00,631
that means we have to start
building it right now.

418
00:25:00,633 --> 00:25:02,766
That means we
have to be finished

419
00:25:02,768 --> 00:25:05,169
engineering it last month.

420
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:07,204
Art: When he got the job,
i had, actually,

421
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:10,007
a discussion with him
about this particular point.

422
00:25:10,009 --> 00:25:13,811
The first thing I noticed was
so many people came up to me

423
00:25:13,813 --> 00:25:16,747
and said,
"don't screw this up."

424
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:21,685
I mean, high in the company,
low in the company, dealers,

425
00:25:21,687 --> 00:25:25,055
friends of mine
outside the company.

426
00:25:25,057 --> 00:25:27,658
A lot of people just said,
"don't screw this up.

427
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:30,628
You screw this up, you're
screwing up the entire country.

428
00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:33,797
This is bigger than Ford
so don't screw it up."

429
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:38,702
Man: We are out
to strengthen our position

430
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:41,639
in a field where
the risk is high

431
00:25:41,641 --> 00:25:44,308
and where the competition
runs strong.

432
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:48,078
Our mutual stake
in success is a big one,

433
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,081
perhaps the biggest
any of us will ever have

434
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:52,783
in a single venture.

435
00:25:52,785 --> 00:25:55,219
I'm Henry Ford ii.

436
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:58,556
I would like to begin
these brief comments

437
00:25:58,558 --> 00:26:02,159
by offering a Sincere welcome
to all of you

438
00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:04,595
who have joined us,
and we look forward

439
00:26:04,597 --> 00:26:08,065
to a long and mutually
rewarding association

440
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:11,268
based on friendship,
understanding,

441
00:26:11,270 --> 00:26:14,171
and sound business principles.

442
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:17,841
Henry Ford
was an interesting guy.

443
00:26:17,843 --> 00:26:20,611
You gotta remember,
he came into the company,

444
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:21,912
you know, out of the Navy.

445
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:24,048
I think he was
like 26 or 27.

446
00:26:24,050 --> 00:26:26,817
You seem to get a very nice
reception, Mr. Ford.

447
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:29,587
A lot more than I deserve,
I'm sure of that.

448
00:26:29,589 --> 00:26:31,655
It would be hard
to be sure of yourself.

449
00:26:31,657 --> 00:26:34,091
I mean, what the hell
do you know at 26 or 27

450
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:37,161
about running
a major automobile company?

451
00:26:37,163 --> 00:26:41,832
Henry Ford ii was the apple
of Henry Ford i's eye.

452
00:26:41,834 --> 00:26:43,968
I mean, he was his namesake

453
00:26:43,970 --> 00:26:46,870
and the first grandchild
that Henry Ford had

454
00:26:46,872 --> 00:26:49,607
and Henry Ford took him
everywhere.

455
00:26:49,609 --> 00:26:53,110
Man: Henry, did you know
your grandfather well?

456
00:26:53,112 --> 00:26:55,613
Did you--
did you, uh--

457
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:57,247
well, I felt I knew him
very well, Bob.

458
00:26:57,249 --> 00:27:01,352
We were always brought up
to go out on weekends

459
00:27:01,354 --> 00:27:03,921
out at fairlane
with my grandmother

460
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:05,723
and grandfather,
and he used to give us,

461
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:07,124
really,
the run of the place.

462
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:11,662
Hal: It was a difficult
process for him

463
00:27:11,664 --> 00:27:13,263
because he didn't have
the background,

464
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:14,932
and I don't say that
critically.

465
00:27:14,934 --> 00:27:16,834
He had never worked
in finance.

466
00:27:16,836 --> 00:27:19,703
He never worked in engineering
or manufacturing or purchasing.

467
00:27:19,705 --> 00:27:21,071
To his credit,
he was smart enough

468
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:24,208
to get people
in the company that did.

469
00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:26,677
Man: Ford was in trouble.

470
00:27:26,679 --> 00:27:30,280
Gm and Chrysler
were better managed.

471
00:27:30,282 --> 00:27:31,915
We brought in a group

472
00:27:31,917 --> 00:27:34,718
of ten young army,
air force officers,

473
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,755
who became known
as the whiz kids.

474
00:27:37,757 --> 00:27:42,960
They are the ten men in
the front row of this picture.

475
00:27:42,962 --> 00:27:47,698
They included Tex Thornton,
Robert McNamara,

476
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:49,900
and arjay Miller as well.

477
00:27:49,902 --> 00:27:51,869
It was such
an intriguing story.

478
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:55,205
Here was this tremendous company
in such bad shape.

479
00:27:55,207 --> 00:27:58,308
When we went to Ford,
the whiz kids, back in '46,

480
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:01,679
to find out how much money they
owed at the end of the year,

481
00:28:01,681 --> 00:28:04,081
they just counted
the open invoices,

482
00:28:04,083 --> 00:28:07,317
but they were about 40 feet
of invoices

483
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:09,753
and they figured out
it was so many million

484
00:28:09,755 --> 00:28:11,689
per foot of invoices.

485
00:28:11,691 --> 00:28:13,424
That's how they knew
how much money they owed

486
00:28:13,426 --> 00:28:15,192
at the end of the year.

487
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:18,328
It's hard to believe
how chaotic they were.

488
00:28:18,330 --> 00:28:21,331
Gale: The whiz kids took control
of finances in the company,

489
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:24,001
and they got Mr. Ford
back on track.

490
00:28:24,003 --> 00:28:26,103
The demand for automobiles
in the United States

491
00:28:26,105 --> 00:28:29,006
has been rising
for more than three years

492
00:28:29,008 --> 00:28:31,375
and shows no signs
of tapering off.

493
00:28:31,377 --> 00:28:33,143
Arjay:
He felt he had inherited
a company

494
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:35,212
it was his obligation
to keep it going.

495
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:38,882
We all liked Henry Ford ii.
He was a warm person.

496
00:28:55,467 --> 00:28:57,367
He was the boss,

497
00:28:57,369 --> 00:28:59,002
but the most important
building block

498
00:28:59,004 --> 00:29:00,504
in the company
are the people.

499
00:29:00,506 --> 00:29:02,940
Every company is faced
by the same market,

500
00:29:02,942 --> 00:29:04,508
the same technology.

501
00:29:04,510 --> 00:29:06,944
It's the people
that make the difference.

502
00:29:06,946 --> 00:29:09,146
Henry Ford ii understood that.

503
00:29:09,148 --> 00:29:11,815
He brought in Lee iacocca,

504
00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:14,318
who was simply
the best car salesman

505
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,320
the world has ever known.

506
00:29:16,322 --> 00:29:19,256
Man: Probably the most
important thing to remember

507
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:21,792
about Lee iacocca is,
without him,

508
00:29:21,794 --> 00:29:25,963
the whole story of the mustang--
that story would not even exist.

509
00:29:25,965 --> 00:29:30,167
He joined Ford
as an engineer,

510
00:29:30,169 --> 00:29:33,837
but he found very quickly
that he could do other things.

511
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,006
So in Philadelphia,
he started doing

512
00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:40,043
Ford sales work
as a district-type person.

513
00:29:40,045 --> 00:29:45,015
This is 1956,
and he contemplated a way

514
00:29:45,017 --> 00:29:49,153
that the average person
could by a 1956 Ford

515
00:29:49,155 --> 00:29:52,523
and pay $56 a month
as a payment.

516
00:29:52,525 --> 00:29:56,393
So the "56 for 56" slogan
was popular.

517
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:59,263
It sold hundreds of thousands
of more fords

518
00:29:59,265 --> 00:30:01,565
than they ever thought
they would sell.

519
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:04,434
Henry Ford ii recognized that,

520
00:30:04,436 --> 00:30:06,336
and that's how
he got to dearborn.

521
00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:31,094
Dave: For our customers,
for our loyalists,

522
00:30:31,096 --> 00:30:33,163
the people who love
this machine,

523
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:36,466
the prototype is like, you know,
it's like almost the holy grail.

524
00:30:36,468 --> 00:30:40,037
We're gonna do whatever it
takes to protect this vehicle.

525
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:44,408
So one of the things
we're doing is we--

526
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:47,377
this actually represents
a part of the new car,

527
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:49,179
a small portion
of the new car.

528
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:51,114
So we don't want anybody
to see this.

529
00:30:51,116 --> 00:30:52,616
We put foam
and this material over this,

530
00:30:52,618 --> 00:30:54,318
and that way when it's
out on the road

531
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,853
and someone wants
to photograph it,

532
00:30:55,855 --> 00:30:57,354
they have no idea
what's going on.

533
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:59,089
They know there's
something going on in this area,

534
00:30:59,091 --> 00:31:00,858
but they don't know
what's going on.

535
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:03,293
We'll end up having to do
a lot of nighttime testing

536
00:31:03,295 --> 00:31:05,629
on fairly secure
Ford facilities

537
00:31:05,631 --> 00:31:08,432
where we can peel all that back,
but we certainly don't want

538
00:31:08,434 --> 00:31:10,500
anyone to see it
until it's time so...

539
00:31:10,502 --> 00:31:12,936
- Right.
- Do you want to show this one?

540
00:31:12,938 --> 00:31:14,371
Sure. Why not?
Let's do it.

541
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:17,341
The next, what I will say,
big milestone

542
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:20,344
is what we call
preliminary engineering cutoff.

543
00:31:20,346 --> 00:31:22,880
We've basically
engineered the car,

544
00:31:22,882 --> 00:31:26,049
and now we gotta drive them
and make sure

545
00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:29,186
that they ride correctly,
they steer correctly,

546
00:31:29,188 --> 00:31:31,989
there aren't
any kind of error states.

547
00:31:31,991 --> 00:31:34,925
Dave:
Everybody is trying to figure
out what the next guy is doing

548
00:31:34,927 --> 00:31:36,526
because if they've got
the better gadget

549
00:31:36,528 --> 00:31:38,629
or if they have
a better hood, unique wheel,

550
00:31:38,631 --> 00:31:41,198
you name it, then they're
gonna want to have it, too.

551
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,066
And it's not about
who invents it first,

552
00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:44,601
it's about
who gets it out first.

553
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:52,075
Barnes did not want to be the
first guy caught in a mustang.

554
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:55,545
It was fully camouflaged.
It was time,

555
00:31:55,547 --> 00:32:00,384
so I made tom take the car
out to go evaluate something.

556
00:32:00,386 --> 00:32:02,252
And he came back,
and as he tossed me the keys,

557
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:04,154
he said, "congratulations."
And I said, "what?"

558
00:32:04,156 --> 00:32:05,555
He said, "you'll see me
on the Internet soon."

559
00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:08,191
- Yeah, there's tom.

560
00:32:08,193 --> 00:32:10,527
- There's barnesie.
- He was so proud
of that moment.

561
00:32:16,534 --> 00:32:19,002
Tom: I was testing
out on the track.

562
00:32:19,004 --> 00:32:21,972
It was all working,
but while it needs to function,

563
00:32:21,974 --> 00:32:25,042
you can write down the numbers
and all that stuff,

564
00:32:25,044 --> 00:32:27,077
a lot of what a car is,

565
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,380
I mean it's still needs
to have character.

566
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:34,318
Really the mustang in itself is,
you know, a character.

567
00:32:44,495 --> 00:32:46,630
What would the world
be without a mustang?

568
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:49,666
It's hard to imagine.

569
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:52,502
Woman:
Ford mustang.

570
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:54,037
People sing about it

571
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,673
not necessarily because
it rhymes with anything,

572
00:32:56,675 --> 00:32:59,476
but because it's part
of our culture.

573
00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:10,053
Art: People will say,
"when I get in my mustang,

574
00:33:10,055 --> 00:33:11,688
I feel like
I'm a different person.

575
00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:13,490
I am Steve McQueen."

576
00:33:13,492 --> 00:33:15,993
John: Ford wanted instant
street credibility.

577
00:33:15,995 --> 00:33:17,661
How do you get
instant credibility?

578
00:33:17,663 --> 00:33:19,663
You want to race in it.

579
00:33:22,601 --> 00:33:27,204
The idea was you win on Sunday,
and you sell on Monday.

580
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,074
Mustang showed it
could be a race car,

581
00:33:31,076 --> 00:33:33,543
I think principally
with carroll Shelby's help.

582
00:33:33,545 --> 00:33:36,113
We've got a couple of new
entries in our stable this year,

583
00:33:36,115 --> 00:33:40,517
the new mustang-based gt350,
first American car of its kind.

584
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,753
Edsel: He just started putting
high-performance engines

585
00:33:42,755 --> 00:33:45,655
in mustangs
and making them extra special.

586
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:49,059
Art: It was a performance
vehicle that was accessible.

587
00:33:49,061 --> 00:33:51,094
You know this
is not a 911 Porsche.

588
00:33:51,096 --> 00:33:54,364
It's not a snooty.

589
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,600
Hal: That was the basic thing
that made this work,

590
00:33:56,602 --> 00:33:59,536
the fact that you could bring
genuine aspiration

591
00:33:59,538 --> 00:34:01,271
down to the affordable.

592
00:34:01,273 --> 00:34:03,807
Little old you could have
something this neat.

593
00:34:03,809 --> 00:34:07,110
Fast, fun and affordable,
that's the essence of mustang.

594
00:34:14,752 --> 00:34:16,586
Tom: Dave was talking about,
the other day,

595
00:34:16,588 --> 00:34:19,289
some people think you just
follow the recipe and then,

596
00:34:19,291 --> 00:34:21,825
okay, then it pops out,
and it's really good.

597
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:23,693
That's not how that happens.

598
00:34:23,695 --> 00:34:26,696
You know you have
this all-American classic,

599
00:34:26,698 --> 00:34:28,365
but to be successful,

600
00:34:28,367 --> 00:34:30,267
you have to
constantly innovate,

601
00:34:30,269 --> 00:34:32,302
and there is always
a possibility of failure.

602
00:34:32,304 --> 00:34:35,238
By failing,
i mean delivering a product

603
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:38,642
that would not be viewed
as a mustang.

604
00:34:43,148 --> 00:34:46,416
In '94, mustang was gonna
go to front-wheel drive.

605
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:50,454
It was going to be transverse
v6 engine front-wheel drive

606
00:34:50,456 --> 00:34:51,721
European sports sedan.

607
00:34:51,723 --> 00:34:54,758
That is fundamental change.

608
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,194
There was one school of thought
that it would make it

609
00:34:57,196 --> 00:34:58,662
more fuel-efficient,

610
00:34:58,664 --> 00:35:01,331
we would get better return
potentially,

611
00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:04,101
then there was a camp that said,
"that's not what a mustang is."

612
00:35:04,103 --> 00:35:06,536
Steve: When this news broke,
there was a massive

613
00:35:06,538 --> 00:35:09,372
letter-writing campaign.

614
00:35:09,374 --> 00:35:12,642
Art: 100,000 letters
from customers coming in

615
00:35:12,644 --> 00:35:15,745
questioning the chemical
makeup of our brain.

616
00:35:15,747 --> 00:35:17,681
They were convinced
we were on drugs, I think.

617
00:35:17,683 --> 00:35:21,284
Hau: They actually
had a demonstration

618
00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:23,653
outside of Ford
world headquarters.

619
00:35:23,655 --> 00:35:25,689
Fortunately,
the product was launched

620
00:35:25,691 --> 00:35:27,424
as a separate product
called a probe,

621
00:35:27,426 --> 00:35:29,659
and we stuck
with the tried-and-true

622
00:35:29,661 --> 00:35:31,761
rear-wheel drive formula
for the mustang.

623
00:35:31,763 --> 00:35:34,264
Steve: It's probably
one of the biggest coups ever

624
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:35,799
in the automotive industry.

625
00:35:35,801 --> 00:35:38,435
The customers rising up
and changing your product?

626
00:35:38,437 --> 00:35:40,370
I don't think
it's ever happened before.

627
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:43,773
It turned out to be
a great car, the '94 mustang.

628
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:46,510
I remember when it came out,
i was in high school.

629
00:35:46,512 --> 00:35:48,311
Beautiful car.

630
00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:51,248
Man: Welcome back
to "muscle cars on the radio"

631
00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:54,151
broadcasting coast to coast on
132 radio stations.

632
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:56,553
Joining us on the "muscle cars
on the radio" hotline,

633
00:35:56,555 --> 00:35:58,788
Dave pericak,
chief nameplate engineer

634
00:35:58,790 --> 00:36:00,357
for the 2015 mustang.

635
00:36:00,359 --> 00:36:01,925
- Welcome back, Dave.
- Thanks, Gary.

636
00:36:01,927 --> 00:36:04,327
Thanks for having me
on the show.

637
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:06,663
I love the fact that you kept
the sequential tail lights.

638
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:08,899
There are some things
you just can't change, Dave.

639
00:36:08,901 --> 00:36:10,700
I tell you,
the sequential tail lamps,

640
00:36:10,702 --> 00:36:12,702
at one time,
was discussed

641
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:15,539
on whether or not they
should stay in the car

642
00:36:15,541 --> 00:36:17,407
purely from
a financial standpoint,

643
00:36:17,409 --> 00:36:18,608
and that discussion,

644
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:20,243
you can see
who won the discussion.

645
00:36:20,245 --> 00:36:21,778
As I basically told them,

646
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,880
"well, then you might need
a new chief engineer."

647
00:36:23,882 --> 00:36:25,949
You also got rid
of the hockey-stick "l"

648
00:36:25,951 --> 00:36:27,884
on the sides of the doors...

649
00:36:27,886 --> 00:36:29,853
Hau: When he took the job,
i said, "Dave,

650
00:36:29,855 --> 00:36:31,855
the best thing
about working on mustang

651
00:36:31,857 --> 00:36:33,823
is everybody knows
what a mustang is.

652
00:36:33,825 --> 00:36:36,760
The worst thing about working
on mustang is everybody knows

653
00:36:36,762 --> 00:36:39,196
what a mustang is,
and they'll tell you."

654
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:41,898
Man: Sometimes I wish that I was
on one of these committees

655
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,467
where they ask public opinion

656
00:36:44,469 --> 00:36:46,369
because I'd rip
most of these cars.

657
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:47,704
Man:
A lot of people were afraid

658
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,239
it's gonna be a major
European look.

659
00:36:49,241 --> 00:36:50,840
Man:
Some people are afraid

660
00:36:50,842 --> 00:36:52,943
it's not gonna have
that old muscle-car image.

661
00:36:52,945 --> 00:36:55,679
I just never pictured mustang
again with four cylinders.

662
00:36:55,681 --> 00:36:57,847
Dave: Everyone wants to be
the chief engineer

663
00:36:57,849 --> 00:36:59,583
and everyone wants
to design the car.

664
00:36:59,585 --> 00:37:01,418
Man: Photos have leaked
on the Internet.

665
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:02,986
I think those are just
Photoshop pictures

666
00:37:02,988 --> 00:37:04,955
that are out there,
and my first reaction was,

667
00:37:04,957 --> 00:37:07,257
"that really doesn't look
like a mustang."

668
00:37:07,259 --> 00:37:08,892
Man: I don't want them
to water it down.

669
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:10,994
Some of the other cars,
they look so similar.

670
00:37:10,996 --> 00:37:13,730
But I guess it has to appeal
to more people now.

671
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:15,932
Dave:
Our customers are not afraid
to tell us what they want

672
00:37:15,934 --> 00:37:17,534
and why they want it.

673
00:37:17,536 --> 00:37:19,436
Man: I want it to look like
a mustang.

674
00:37:19,438 --> 00:37:21,371
If you see the first one,
you'll say, "that's a mustang."

675
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:30,247
Well, I think everyone gets
emotional about the mustang

676
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:32,816
because number one,

677
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:35,885
most people have had
a passion for the car

678
00:37:35,887 --> 00:37:38,021
when they were young
and when they were growing up,

679
00:37:38,023 --> 00:37:39,656
whether it was within
their family,

680
00:37:39,658 --> 00:37:42,359
their dad had one,
their brother had one,

681
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:44,261
that was the first car
they ever drove,

682
00:37:44,263 --> 00:37:46,263
it was the first date
they'd ever had, you know.

683
00:37:46,265 --> 00:37:48,765
I grew up in Chicago,
south suburb of Chicago.

684
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:51,468
As a little kid we'd always
take things apart

685
00:37:51,470 --> 00:37:52,836
and try to figure out
how they worked

686
00:37:52,838 --> 00:37:54,638
and put them back
together again,

687
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,640
which kind of freaked my mom out
a little bit,

688
00:37:56,642 --> 00:37:58,441
but my dad thought
it was really cool.

689
00:37:58,443 --> 00:38:00,577
So my brothers are about
ten years older than me,

690
00:38:00,579 --> 00:38:03,913
and they were into cars
way before I even was.

691
00:38:03,915 --> 00:38:05,882
The mustangs just always
caught my attention.

692
00:38:08,052 --> 00:38:10,020
Art: Not everybody
that's been in that job

693
00:38:10,022 --> 00:38:13,490
really knows what a mustang is,
but Dave does.

694
00:38:13,492 --> 00:38:15,392
When you talk to him,
you can see

695
00:38:15,394 --> 00:38:18,461
he gets the emotional
connection in a very deep way.

696
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:22,432
I was a young engineer
here at Ford.

697
00:38:22,434 --> 00:38:24,701
My boss had a '94 mustang.

698
00:38:24,703 --> 00:38:26,736
He was going out of town,
and I asked him

699
00:38:26,738 --> 00:38:27,971
if I could borrow his car.

700
00:38:27,973 --> 00:38:29,372
He said,
"yeah, sure, no problem."

701
00:38:29,374 --> 00:38:30,740
So I drove it to Chicago

702
00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:32,575
and took my girlfriend
out on a date.

703
00:38:32,577 --> 00:38:34,611
And I pulled up in front
of the high school

704
00:38:34,613 --> 00:38:37,347
where we had met, in fact,
the very room that we had met.

705
00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:38,948
I told her something was wrong
with the car,

706
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:40,784
and she didn't know
any different, and I got out,

707
00:38:40,786 --> 00:38:42,652
and I opened up the door
and I knelt down

708
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:45,588
and asked her to marry me
in that mustang.

709
00:38:45,590 --> 00:38:47,957
For me,
this is the dream job,

710
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:50,093
and I've said this to a vice
president in this company,

711
00:38:50,095 --> 00:38:52,495
"you have me in this chair
for a reason.

712
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:54,030
While I'm in it,
I'm gonna do

713
00:38:54,032 --> 00:38:56,933
all of the right things
for the mustang customer."

714
00:38:56,935 --> 00:38:58,735
Man: Joining us on the
"muscle cars on the radio"

715
00:38:58,737 --> 00:39:01,438
hotline, Dave pericak,
chief nameplate engineer

716
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,573
for the 2015 mustang.

717
00:39:03,575 --> 00:39:06,609
- Welcome back, Dave.
- Thanks, Gary. Thanks for
having me on the show.

718
00:39:06,611 --> 00:39:09,579
Henry: I think the greatest
pleasure that I experience

719
00:39:09,581 --> 00:39:11,948
is a successful product.

720
00:39:11,950 --> 00:39:14,651
To see people walk in and spend
their hard-earned money

721
00:39:14,653 --> 00:39:17,921
buying our products is a great
thrill and great success.

722
00:39:17,923 --> 00:39:21,524
Man: Do you have to make
great sacrifices for it?

723
00:39:21,526 --> 00:39:22,959
Well, in terms of time,
surely, yes.

724
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:25,695
It absorbs most
of your weekdays

725
00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:27,731
and probably a good portion
of your weekends.

726
00:39:27,733 --> 00:39:30,133
It's a consuming job,
let's say that.

727
00:39:30,135 --> 00:39:31,735
Man:
Do you regret that at all?

728
00:39:31,737 --> 00:39:33,470
I don't think so.

729
00:39:33,472 --> 00:39:35,004
I picked the business,
and I'm here,

730
00:39:35,006 --> 00:39:37,040
and I sort of like it.

731
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:38,875
Lee iacocca was no dummy.

732
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:43,113
He knew the timing was right
to take the American population

733
00:39:43,115 --> 00:39:46,916
and introduce them
to something different.

734
00:39:46,918 --> 00:39:49,786
Hal: In 1960, Lee was made
vice president

735
00:39:49,788 --> 00:39:55,058
of the Ford division,
which is a huge move.

736
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:58,395
There was an air about him
that was a little mysterious.

737
00:39:58,397 --> 00:40:00,463
I can remember watching
these guys escort him

738
00:40:00,465 --> 00:40:04,134
around the various studios
and smoking his big cigar.

739
00:40:04,136 --> 00:40:06,102
You know, it looked like
the mafia had arrived.

740
00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:07,837
It was really pretty cool.

741
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:09,739
That is so
god damn basic to running...

742
00:40:09,741 --> 00:40:11,674
Bob: He knew that his ideas
were good,

743
00:40:11,676 --> 00:40:14,043
and he surrounded himself
with good, creative people.

744
00:40:14,045 --> 00:40:16,713
One of those people
was hal sperlich.

745
00:40:17,782 --> 00:40:20,417
Iacocca was a dynamic leader,

746
00:40:20,419 --> 00:40:23,887
but the guy that made it happen
was hal sperlich.

747
00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:25,722
Hal:
Sometime in the early '60s,

748
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:28,124
what became the mustang
project got started.

749
00:40:28,126 --> 00:40:32,028
My first introduction
to it was with don frey,

750
00:40:32,030 --> 00:40:34,063
my boss,
who told me that iacocca

751
00:40:34,065 --> 00:40:36,433
and the market research
people had identified

752
00:40:36,435 --> 00:40:39,068
a rather dramatic shift
in demographics

753
00:40:39,070 --> 00:40:42,806
that was going to take place,
the arrival of the baby boomers.

754
00:40:42,808 --> 00:40:46,743
Jack: The market was untouched.
It was younger buyers.

755
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:48,978
There was nothing for them
to buy,

756
00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:51,147
you know,
that they could afford.

757
00:40:51,149 --> 00:40:55,051
Hal: Most innovation is
how to be ahead of the market,

758
00:40:55,053 --> 00:40:59,122
you know, how to be ahead of
where demand is at the moment.

759
00:40:59,124 --> 00:41:02,792
Iacocca, who was very much
interested in making a mark,

760
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:05,662
decided that that
would be his mark.

761
00:41:05,664 --> 00:41:09,065
Bob: When 1960 happened,
when the decade started,

762
00:41:09,067 --> 00:41:11,835
none of the auto manufacturers
in the United States

763
00:41:11,837 --> 00:41:13,937
were building compact cars.

764
00:41:13,939 --> 00:41:16,706
The big stodgy rolling tanks
and couches

765
00:41:16,708 --> 00:41:18,508
that went down the highway,

766
00:41:18,510 --> 00:41:20,743
that was the state
of production in those years.

767
00:41:20,745 --> 00:41:23,046
"This is the way we build cars.
Take it or leave it."

768
00:41:23,048 --> 00:41:24,647
Well, that changed.

769
00:41:24,649 --> 00:41:26,115
The baby boomers said,
"we want something

770
00:41:26,117 --> 00:41:28,518
that brings us
into the modern times."

771
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,953
They wanted
modern refrigerators,

772
00:41:29,955 --> 00:41:31,955
they wanted modern furniture,

773
00:41:31,957 --> 00:41:34,123
they wanted a modern house,
and they wanted a modern car.

774
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:36,092
Ford didn't have a car
that was a modern car,

775
00:41:36,094 --> 00:41:40,697
and that's what they discovered
was this market.

776
00:41:40,699 --> 00:41:44,033
Lee decided to have
the discussions off-campus.

777
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:46,169
Man: To discuss a business
proposition

778
00:41:46,171 --> 00:41:48,037
of great mutual interest.

779
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:50,507
Bob: They met after hours
clandestinely

780
00:41:50,509 --> 00:41:54,143
at the fairlane inn
without Henry Ford's knowledge.

781
00:41:54,145 --> 00:41:58,515
They knew if he got wind
of them, it would be canceled

782
00:41:58,517 --> 00:41:59,883
simply because of the edsel.

783
00:42:02,586 --> 00:42:05,955
The design of the future
is a great question.

784
00:42:05,957 --> 00:42:08,124
I don't think the cars
can get any longer.

785
00:42:08,126 --> 00:42:10,727
They're plenty long enough
and actually, I think,

786
00:42:10,729 --> 00:42:13,029
they're really practically
as low as they're gonna get.

787
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:15,164
Henry Ford wanted
to reinvent the industry.

788
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:17,233
He wanted new technology,

789
00:42:17,235 --> 00:42:19,669
something different
and fresh and exciting,

790
00:42:19,671 --> 00:42:22,005
a car that hit
all of those parameters.

791
00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:32,081
Henry: The birth of this new
line of automobiles

792
00:42:32,083 --> 00:42:35,218
is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

793
00:42:35,220 --> 00:42:39,722
The eyes of the American people
will be on edsel.

794
00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:42,926
John: He came out with one of
the most well-researched cars

795
00:42:42,928 --> 00:42:44,661
in the history of automobilia.

796
00:42:44,663 --> 00:42:47,730
It was called the edsel.

797
00:42:47,732 --> 00:42:50,199
Henry: And so I am proud
and pleased to confirm

798
00:42:50,201 --> 00:42:54,003
that our new line of cars
will carry the name edsel

799
00:42:54,005 --> 00:42:55,772
in honor of my father,

800
00:42:55,774 --> 00:42:59,142
who served as president
of Ford motor company.

801
00:42:59,144 --> 00:43:00,743
When you talk edsel today,

802
00:43:00,745 --> 00:43:03,646
you talk of the flop
of all time.

803
00:43:05,116 --> 00:43:07,750
- It didn't sell.
- I'm ruined!

804
00:43:07,752 --> 00:43:10,954
Bob: The people that actually
worked on the edsel project

805
00:43:10,956 --> 00:43:14,991
became known as e-guys,
and the e-guys

806
00:43:14,993 --> 00:43:17,360
were bad guys
around Ford motor company.

807
00:43:17,362 --> 00:43:19,696
Henry Ford didn't wanna
have anything to do with them.

808
00:43:19,698 --> 00:43:21,931
Do you think people
will ever forget the edsel?

809
00:43:21,933 --> 00:43:24,767
Oh, god, I hope so.

810
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:27,103
Edsel:
I used to always ask him,

811
00:43:27,105 --> 00:43:29,172
"why did you let them call
the car edsel?"

812
00:43:29,174 --> 00:43:32,909
He said it was the management
team that beat him down.

813
00:43:32,911 --> 00:43:34,677
I mean, who knows?

814
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:37,814
I just think
that it's the wrong car

815
00:43:37,816 --> 00:43:40,216
at the wrong time
with the wrong design.

816
00:43:40,218 --> 00:43:43,786
Hal: It didn't work out,
and the company canned it.

817
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:45,221
That's a pretty
expensive process,

818
00:43:45,223 --> 00:43:46,990
and it's embarrassing,

819
00:43:46,992 --> 00:43:49,225
which is why people get nervous
about innovating.

820
00:43:49,227 --> 00:43:52,295
He had to bear in mind
that the likes of iacocca

821
00:43:52,297 --> 00:43:55,231
and others were putting
their careers on the line.

822
00:43:55,233 --> 00:43:59,168
To be for something as unique
as the mustang project

823
00:43:59,170 --> 00:44:02,005
was in its time
was a high-risk game.

824
00:44:52,823 --> 00:44:54,891
We go out to one of our
proving grounds out in Arizona

825
00:44:54,893 --> 00:44:56,726
and we drive the car.

826
00:44:56,728 --> 00:44:58,361
That in itself
is an emotional event.

827
00:44:58,363 --> 00:45:01,197
Tom: We had our senior
management out in Arizona.

828
00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:04,333
We had a lot
of aspirational vehicles,

829
00:45:04,335 --> 00:45:06,903
and I'm talking things
like Porsche 911,

830
00:45:06,905 --> 00:45:08,471
and then we also had
our m1 prototype

831
00:45:08,473 --> 00:45:10,773
for the upcoming mustang.

832
00:45:10,775 --> 00:45:14,043
What we're gonna do--
you'll each go in cars,
and Dave and frank

833
00:45:14,045 --> 00:45:15,878
are gonna be in one pair,
then you'll flip.

834
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,847
Frank: This vehicle
had to be world-class.

835
00:45:17,849 --> 00:45:19,849
We're gonna sell it in Europe.

836
00:45:19,851 --> 00:45:23,286
You have to be world-class
to be in Europe.

837
00:45:23,288 --> 00:45:25,421
You're going against
the big dogs

838
00:45:25,423 --> 00:45:27,890
in those other markets,
so you set your targets

839
00:45:27,892 --> 00:45:29,959
from an aspirational standpoint.

840
00:45:29,961 --> 00:45:32,829
Steve: We had police cordon
off all the roads.

841
00:45:32,831 --> 00:45:35,298
We went around the tops
of all the mountains around,

842
00:45:35,300 --> 00:45:37,233
to make sure that there
wasn't anybody up there.

843
00:45:37,235 --> 00:45:39,235
It was incredibly nerve-racking.
Nobody's seen--

844
00:45:39,237 --> 00:45:41,137
we hadn't seen the car
out in the wild.

845
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,742
A beautiful car is great,

846
00:45:45,744 --> 00:45:49,879
but if it doesn't exceed
the outgoing car,

847
00:45:49,881 --> 00:45:52,048
people will be disappointed.

848
00:45:52,050 --> 00:45:54,851
The toughest critic I know
is probably Dave.

849
00:45:54,853 --> 00:45:56,452
He takes this stuff to heart.

850
00:45:56,454 --> 00:46:00,256
Tom: The car is
definitely coming together.

851
00:46:00,258 --> 00:46:04,260
It's just that it's a little
short on target on a few things.

852
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:06,329
But do we know why
or we just don't know why?

853
00:46:06,331 --> 00:46:08,965
No, we have a very
good idea why.

854
00:46:08,967 --> 00:46:12,935
We do wind tunnel tests,
rough road tests.

855
00:46:12,937 --> 00:46:15,538
We do high-mileage drives,
low-mileage drives.

856
00:46:15,540 --> 00:46:18,975
We do cold-weather drives.
We do warm-weather drives.

857
00:46:18,977 --> 00:46:21,244
It's pretty difficult
to anticipate

858
00:46:21,246 --> 00:46:23,412
where the next issue
is gonna come from.

859
00:46:25,917 --> 00:46:28,317
- What was that?
- I don't know.

860
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:30,153
Julie: Because they come
from the left.

861
00:46:30,155 --> 00:46:32,188
They come from the right.
They come from everywhere.

862
00:46:32,190 --> 00:46:35,091
That's what happened.
It did fault. Okay.

863
00:46:35,093 --> 00:46:38,127
Just got the camo off
just a couple days ago.

864
00:46:38,129 --> 00:46:40,129
And so there were
some surprises.

865
00:46:40,131 --> 00:46:44,233
The amount of camo
did some damping,

866
00:46:44,235 --> 00:46:46,869
and so we have some things
that have popped up,

867
00:46:46,871 --> 00:46:48,971
but we'll address them,
and we'll go through them.

868
00:46:48,973 --> 00:46:52,141
We've got an entire team
of people

869
00:46:52,143 --> 00:46:55,444
who support these tests
and drives.

870
00:46:55,446 --> 00:46:58,314
Because we don't have a ton
of prototypes running around,

871
00:46:58,316 --> 00:47:00,583
we try to do this
all analytically.

872
00:47:00,585 --> 00:47:02,919
So we try to model what we
think the system is gonna do

873
00:47:02,921 --> 00:47:04,921
because, really,
it's quite costly

874
00:47:04,923 --> 00:47:06,489
to find the error state
in the vehicle

875
00:47:06,491 --> 00:47:08,291
and then engineer it out.

876
00:47:08,293 --> 00:47:11,427
We'd rather engineer
the fix in right the first time.

877
00:47:11,429 --> 00:47:13,229
Tom:
I will say it's surprising

878
00:47:13,231 --> 00:47:16,566
how much the camo affected
the steering feel.

879
00:47:16,568 --> 00:47:18,601
This is a live issue.

880
00:47:18,603 --> 00:47:21,237
I mean, can at least
one of our open issues

881
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,006
for our engineering sign off?

882
00:47:24,008 --> 00:47:27,310
Frank: Tom's the guy that
really brings it all together

883
00:47:27,312 --> 00:47:29,846
and makes a proposal
to Dave to say,

884
00:47:29,848 --> 00:47:31,614
"here's what it takes to get
to the next level."

885
00:47:34,017 --> 00:47:38,487
Gotta give tom a lot of credit
for being the thread of mustang.

886
00:47:38,489 --> 00:47:41,123
He's been on mustang
for ten years.

887
00:47:41,125 --> 00:47:43,492
I always kid him
he's probably trained, you know,

888
00:47:43,494 --> 00:47:45,494
at least five chief engineers.

889
00:47:54,238 --> 00:47:56,038
Shit, man,
i rocketed down through here

890
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,541
about 160 miles an hour.

891
00:47:58,543 --> 00:48:02,245
Man on radio:
There is a police officer
on the right-hand shoulder.

892
00:48:02,247 --> 00:48:05,448
So just be aware
that the speed limit
is 55 through here.

893
00:48:05,450 --> 00:48:08,184
I feel like this doesn't move
nearly as much as the other car.

894
00:48:08,186 --> 00:48:11,087
Probably isn't,
and that gets into--

895
00:48:11,089 --> 00:48:13,155
you remember all
the a-pillar stiffness we did?

896
00:48:13,157 --> 00:48:15,625
- Yeah.
- Well, the a-pillar stiffness.

897
00:48:15,627 --> 00:48:18,928
So that's why I'm trying
to get from body

898
00:48:18,930 --> 00:48:23,366
and from nvh what is happening
for that sorb fix.

899
00:48:23,368 --> 00:48:25,534
- It's on the torque box.
- Right.

900
00:48:25,536 --> 00:48:28,337
It's down there, it's right
at the base frickin'--

901
00:48:28,339 --> 00:48:30,907
and there's some massive shit
going on down there.

902
00:48:30,909 --> 00:48:32,508
Dave: I flew out there
with the team

903
00:48:32,510 --> 00:48:34,543
to one of our proving grounds
out in Arizona,

904
00:48:34,545 --> 00:48:38,114
and we drive the car,
the gt version of the mustang,

905
00:48:38,116 --> 00:48:41,117
and...
I wasn't quite there.

906
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:44,153
It was great,
but it just wasn't great enough.

907
00:48:44,155 --> 00:48:46,188
What is it
that we don't have?

908
00:48:46,190 --> 00:48:49,125
- Here's the problem--
- is it the pads?

909
00:48:49,127 --> 00:48:51,193
The team worked really hard
to get us to that point,

910
00:48:51,195 --> 00:48:52,695
and I just, you know,
looked at the team

911
00:48:52,697 --> 00:48:55,197
and said, "guys,
i don't think we're there."

912
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:57,533
I understand people are working.
We just got to make sure they
got everything they need

913
00:48:57,535 --> 00:48:59,936
and there's no hold-ups
and we can go as fast as we can.

914
00:48:59,938 --> 00:49:01,437
I am a perfectionist.

915
00:49:01,439 --> 00:49:04,941
I don't know that
anything is ever perfect,

916
00:49:04,943 --> 00:49:06,442
you just keep trying
to get there,

917
00:49:06,444 --> 00:49:08,377
and you never quite get there,
but along the way,

918
00:49:08,379 --> 00:49:10,646
you just keep getting better.

919
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,523
Roy orbison:

920
00:49:20,525 --> 00:49:23,592
How could you make a car
that was low-cost and exciting?

921
00:49:23,594 --> 00:49:25,494
Not easy.

922
00:49:25,496 --> 00:49:27,596
In fact, often when you see
a lower-priced car

923
00:49:27,598 --> 00:49:29,398
really take off,

924
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,233
it's because somebody's
figured out

925
00:49:31,235 --> 00:49:34,503
how to bring
the aspiration vehicle down

926
00:49:34,505 --> 00:49:36,605
to a lower price,
and that was certainly

927
00:49:36,607 --> 00:49:38,574
the inspiration
to create the mustang.

928
00:49:42,446 --> 00:49:44,981
For some reason, it just wasn't
working very well.

929
00:49:44,983 --> 00:49:47,717
Several studios
had a crack at it,

930
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,220
and it really wasn't coming
until iacocca decided

931
00:49:51,222 --> 00:49:54,023
he wanted to have
a competition and give--

932
00:49:54,025 --> 00:49:58,127
I think it was seven
design studios each a crack

933
00:49:58,129 --> 00:50:00,062
using the exact same packet.

934
00:50:00,064 --> 00:50:03,466
I figured if you're gonna make
a really inexpensive car,

935
00:50:03,468 --> 00:50:05,634
we had to build it
from something inexpensive,

936
00:50:05,636 --> 00:50:07,236
and Ford had the falcon,

937
00:50:07,238 --> 00:50:09,205
probably the least expensive car
on the planet.

938
00:50:11,074 --> 00:50:13,642
We decided to try to use it
as a base,

939
00:50:13,644 --> 00:50:16,445
the proportions
and the stance and so forth,

940
00:50:16,447 --> 00:50:19,315
and I was the cop to make sure
these guys didn't cheat.

941
00:50:19,317 --> 00:50:23,452
Gale: I was at the Ford studio
when hal sperlich came in

942
00:50:23,454 --> 00:50:26,655
and said, "iacocca wants
to see some new designs."

943
00:50:26,657 --> 00:50:29,025
And we only had about
three weeks to do it.

944
00:50:29,027 --> 00:50:31,293
So I went home,
sat at the kitchen table

945
00:50:31,295 --> 00:50:35,131
and I sketched out four
or five quick sketches.

946
00:50:35,133 --> 00:50:38,100
When I joined Ford,
they called me the farm boy.

947
00:50:38,102 --> 00:50:40,336
I was working
with a bunch of guys

948
00:50:40,338 --> 00:50:44,040
from New York and California.

949
00:50:44,042 --> 00:50:47,076
They were doing airbrushed
drawings of beautiful cars,

950
00:50:47,078 --> 00:50:49,578
and I thought,
"I'm in the wrong spot.

951
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:51,414
I can't compete
with these guys."

952
00:50:51,416 --> 00:50:54,350
Hal:
Came to the big showdown,

953
00:50:54,352 --> 00:50:56,485
and there was iacocca
and myself and a few others

954
00:50:56,487 --> 00:50:58,287
and, of course,
the fathers of each

955
00:50:58,289 --> 00:51:00,322
of these seven cars,
and there were, like,

956
00:51:00,324 --> 00:51:02,058
three or four
that were fantastic.

957
00:51:02,060 --> 00:51:05,261
They picked my sketch

958
00:51:05,263 --> 00:51:07,663
to be put on the driver's side
of the Clay.

959
00:51:07,665 --> 00:51:09,432
Iacocca said,
"you know, this is the car."

960
00:51:09,434 --> 00:51:15,371
I remember Lee turning,
and he said, "we got it."

961
00:51:15,373 --> 00:51:17,706
So that was it.

962
00:51:17,708 --> 00:51:21,277
Hal: When it was approved,
it was a cougar,

963
00:51:21,279 --> 00:51:24,313
and the symbol
on the grill was a cat.

964
00:51:24,315 --> 00:51:26,582
That didn't last very long.

965
00:51:26,584 --> 00:51:29,418
Someplace along the line,
the marketing axis

966
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:32,288
under Lee's leadership
decided that the car

967
00:51:32,290 --> 00:51:34,623
should be called a mustang,
not the cougar.

968
00:51:34,625 --> 00:51:37,226
There's something
so uniquely American

969
00:51:37,228 --> 00:51:39,662
in the word "mustang."

970
00:51:39,664 --> 00:51:41,430
He knew it could be used
for marketing.

971
00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:55,444
Bob: Iacocca knew that anything
that he would propose

972
00:51:55,446 --> 00:51:58,747
to Henry Ford
was going to be a problem

973
00:51:58,749 --> 00:52:00,716
because Henry
didn't want to launch

974
00:52:00,718 --> 00:52:03,352
off into another
financial disaster.

975
00:52:03,354 --> 00:52:08,724
The eyes of the American people
will be on edsel.

976
00:52:08,726 --> 00:52:11,160
Hal: In the case of the mustang,
you're saying,

977
00:52:11,162 --> 00:52:13,429
"we can sell
this large number of cars

978
00:52:13,431 --> 00:52:16,732
in a market that will exist
once we bring this car out,"

979
00:52:16,734 --> 00:52:19,301
but we couldn't say,

980
00:52:19,303 --> 00:52:22,605
"here's proof this will work,"
'cause there wasn't any proof.

981
00:52:22,607 --> 00:52:25,574
This came--
this came from the gut.

982
00:52:27,511 --> 00:52:31,147
Bob: That time,
it took about $75 million

983
00:52:31,149 --> 00:52:34,416
to get a car from concept
into production.

984
00:52:34,418 --> 00:52:36,418
Hal:
Lee brought Mr. Ford over.

985
00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:38,154
You got to remember,

986
00:52:38,156 --> 00:52:41,557
Ford motor company
wasn't a democracy.

987
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:44,226
It was a totalitarian state,

988
00:52:44,228 --> 00:52:45,928
and Lee is just selling,
selling, selling.

989
00:52:45,930 --> 00:52:49,331
That's his bag, right?
He's the great persuader.

990
00:52:49,333 --> 00:52:52,768
Bob: Iacocca wanted $75 million,
and Henry Ford said,

991
00:52:52,770 --> 00:52:54,570
"you got $45 million.
Go with it.

992
00:52:54,572 --> 00:52:57,406
That's all you're getting,
not a dime more."

993
00:52:57,408 --> 00:52:59,308
The program was approved,

994
00:52:59,310 --> 00:53:01,310
and people filed out
of the room.

995
00:53:01,312 --> 00:53:04,813
I was out there with iacocca,
and Mr. Ford came up.

996
00:53:04,815 --> 00:53:07,183
He said, "okay,
you got your god damn car.

997
00:53:07,185 --> 00:53:08,784
It better work."

998
00:53:11,721 --> 00:53:12,922
Does it say what color?

999
00:53:12,924 --> 00:53:14,823
Maroon.
It's right there.

1000
00:53:14,825 --> 00:53:16,425
Oh, that one.

1001
00:53:16,427 --> 00:53:18,694
They are good-looking,
barnesie.

1002
00:53:21,698 --> 00:53:23,532
Hi, Kelly.

1003
00:53:23,534 --> 00:53:25,201
What do you think
of the new car?

1004
00:53:37,247 --> 00:53:39,415
I hope so, too.

1005
00:53:39,417 --> 00:53:41,584
You're definitely
the minority at this moment.

1006
00:53:47,490 --> 00:53:49,592
We gotta have it grow on you.

1007
00:53:49,594 --> 00:53:51,860
Tom:
We'll see you.

1008
00:53:51,862 --> 00:53:53,796
No, we love your opinions.

1009
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:14,516
- Tom: You like it?
- You like it?

1010
00:54:14,518 --> 00:54:17,319
That's about the best mustang
I've ever seen in a long time!

1011
00:54:18,689 --> 00:54:21,423
Good deal.
Good deal. Thanks.

1012
00:54:25,962 --> 00:54:27,396
Pencils are down,
and there's no more

1013
00:54:27,398 --> 00:54:28,731
engineering work on this car.

1014
00:54:28,733 --> 00:54:30,799
It's pure execution phase
from here.

1015
00:54:30,801 --> 00:54:32,835
It's just making sure
that we get this thing

1016
00:54:32,837 --> 00:54:34,803
ready to go
into the showrooms.

1017
00:54:45,682 --> 00:54:49,285
We're in what we call our
manufacturing launch process.

1018
00:54:49,287 --> 00:54:52,855
- Man: T minus 10, 9...
- We've completed all
of our development.

1019
00:54:52,857 --> 00:54:54,857
Ignition.

1020
00:54:54,859 --> 00:54:57,459
Lift off.
Lift off.

1021
00:55:01,398 --> 00:55:03,365
And now we're going
into production.

1022
00:55:05,902 --> 00:55:09,305
We're literally
building prototype vehicles

1023
00:55:09,307 --> 00:55:11,407
on the assembly lines
to get

1024
00:55:11,409 --> 00:55:13,542
the manufacturing process
up and running.

1025
00:55:13,544 --> 00:55:16,645
And then once we have that,
we can go back to David

1026
00:55:16,647 --> 00:55:18,881
and the team and say,
"we have high confidence

1027
00:55:18,883 --> 00:55:22,618
that you can go ahead into full
production at full line speed."

1028
00:55:37,767 --> 00:55:39,568
Dave: Our program manager,
prakash patel,

1029
00:55:39,570 --> 00:55:41,003
he's got a tough job.

1030
00:55:41,005 --> 00:55:42,905
He's kind of like the guy that--
he makes sure

1031
00:55:42,907 --> 00:55:44,873
that everyone in the band
is playing on the right note

1032
00:55:44,875 --> 00:55:47,076
and that everybody plays
when they're supposed to play.

1033
00:55:48,878 --> 00:55:52,581
Frank: The program manager to a
team like this is so important

1034
00:55:52,583 --> 00:55:54,083
because they're the hammer.

1035
00:55:54,085 --> 00:55:55,617
I call them the hammer.

1036
00:55:55,619 --> 00:55:58,520
They have to keep
the vehicle on time.

1037
00:55:58,522 --> 00:56:00,689
Hau: A lot of things
have to come together,

1038
00:56:00,691 --> 00:56:02,691
not only at our plant
at flat rock,

1039
00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:06,462
but at every single supplier
site all around the world.

1040
00:56:06,464 --> 00:56:09,898
Everything on that car
has kind of a DNA.

1041
00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:12,935
Whether it's a part that
is manufactured at the plant,

1042
00:56:12,937 --> 00:56:15,404
whether it is a system
that comes into the plant,

1043
00:56:15,406 --> 00:56:17,573
everything
for that particular car

1044
00:56:17,575 --> 00:56:21,543
needs to be there on that date,
that time.

1045
00:56:21,545 --> 00:56:25,547
It's mind-boggling how--
how they're able to do this.

1046
00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:28,016
At this point,
we have started the car.

1047
00:56:28,018 --> 00:56:29,885
We have designed the parts.

1048
00:56:29,887 --> 00:56:32,488
We have confirmed everything
in the virtual world,

1049
00:56:32,490 --> 00:56:35,023
and we said,
"this is where we are."

1050
00:56:35,025 --> 00:56:37,393
Dave: Every millimeter
was fought over,

1051
00:56:37,395 --> 00:56:39,495
every little millimeter
on the vehicle.

1052
00:56:39,497 --> 00:56:42,965
You can imagine we have
some very emotional discussions

1053
00:56:42,967 --> 00:56:45,934
about headlamps
and tail lamps and bumpers

1054
00:56:45,936 --> 00:56:47,603
and, you know, you name it.

1055
00:56:47,605 --> 00:56:49,171
You do feel the weight
on the shoulder,

1056
00:56:49,173 --> 00:56:50,839
but the weight
is that you have to deliver

1057
00:56:50,841 --> 00:56:52,574
what you said you wanted.

1058
00:56:52,576 --> 00:56:55,110
Hold on, if we had
this experience in s197,

1059
00:56:55,112 --> 00:56:57,646
why did we get them on s550?

1060
00:56:57,648 --> 00:56:59,948
Who told us to
give them more business?

1061
00:56:59,950 --> 00:57:01,984
Art:
We're not launching a vehicle

1062
00:57:01,986 --> 00:57:04,553
as much as we are launching
hundreds and hundreds

1063
00:57:04,555 --> 00:57:06,822
of supplier facilities
around the country.

1064
00:57:06,824 --> 00:57:09,558
We build our engines
and transmissions in-house,

1065
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,695
but pretty much everything else
we purchase from our suppliers.

1066
00:57:13,697 --> 00:57:15,631
But why should I pay
tribal anything?

1067
00:57:15,633 --> 00:57:18,634
There's so many places where
the system could fall apart.

1068
00:57:18,636 --> 00:57:21,069
But why is not their fault?
If they're not delivering
a quality part,

1069
00:57:21,071 --> 00:57:22,938
why is that not fault?

1070
00:57:22,940 --> 00:57:25,774
Hau: We actually go out
to our suppliers and help them.

1071
00:57:25,776 --> 00:57:27,843
We're only successful
if they're successful,

1072
00:57:27,845 --> 00:57:29,645
so we can't afford
to let them fail.

1073
00:57:29,647 --> 00:57:31,547
Okay, that's what I said.

1074
00:57:31,549 --> 00:57:34,216
So i-- that's what I said, if
they are going out of business

1075
00:57:34,218 --> 00:57:36,618
and if they are distressed,
let me know,

1076
00:57:36,620 --> 00:57:40,489
and I will figure out a way
to pay the 47,000 bucks, okay?

1077
00:57:40,491 --> 00:57:42,791
But at this point
in the program,

1078
00:57:42,793 --> 00:57:46,662
I cannot just spend
that kind of money just because.

1079
00:57:46,664 --> 00:57:48,831
Gale:
You have to weigh it and say,

1080
00:57:48,833 --> 00:57:51,099
"we gotta spend the money
on this,

1081
00:57:51,101 --> 00:57:54,136
and we'll save it
someplace else."

1082
00:57:54,138 --> 00:57:57,172
Because everything that's good
isn't the cheapest.

1083
00:57:57,174 --> 00:58:00,809
Okay, who's next?
Brian?

1084
00:58:00,811 --> 00:58:02,778
What's going on is that
on the--

1085
00:58:02,780 --> 00:58:04,546
when the rocker moldings
are going on,

1086
00:58:04,548 --> 00:58:06,114
they're not getting proper
hand clearance

1087
00:58:06,116 --> 00:58:07,950
between the rocker molding
and the wheel.

1088
00:58:07,952 --> 00:58:10,085
They physically cannot reach
their hand in there

1089
00:58:10,087 --> 00:58:11,887
to install the push pin.

1090
00:58:11,889 --> 00:58:14,022
It's almost every wheel,
this is a problem.

1091
00:58:14,024 --> 00:58:16,725
No way, guys.
Buck 34 a car?

1092
00:58:16,727 --> 00:58:19,161
Customer gets nothing for it.

1093
00:58:19,163 --> 00:58:20,796
There's gotta be
a better solution.

1094
00:58:20,798 --> 00:58:23,999
This is just the worst use
of our money.

1095
00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:25,767
Prakash: When I started
in this industry,

1096
00:58:25,769 --> 00:58:27,135
I would go to changes like,

1097
00:58:27,137 --> 00:58:28,737
"why are you guys bickering
about six cents?

1098
00:58:28,739 --> 00:58:30,939
Here, here's six cents."
Right?

1099
00:58:30,941 --> 00:58:32,975
But you multiply that by years,

1100
00:58:32,977 --> 00:58:35,010
by number of cars,
it makes a big deal.

1101
00:58:35,012 --> 00:58:37,746
Take $1.34 times
hundred thousand cars

1102
00:58:37,748 --> 00:58:40,015
times five years, $1,

1103
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:41,884
you just spent
half a million dollars.

1104
00:58:41,886 --> 00:58:43,552
Okay, next.

1105
00:58:43,554 --> 00:58:45,020
That is the decision
you just signed off.

1106
00:58:45,022 --> 00:58:47,089
As a representative
of Ford motor company,

1107
00:58:47,091 --> 00:58:49,925
you just said, "it is okay to
spend half a million dollars."

1108
00:58:49,927 --> 00:58:52,761
Big difference, a dollar
versus half a million dollars.

1109
00:58:52,763 --> 00:58:55,597
Are you guys sure
this is a must-fix, right?

1110
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:58,834
Yeah. I signed it.
Four cents more, why?

1111
00:58:58,836 --> 00:59:00,636
Because a longer fastener?

1112
00:59:00,638 --> 00:59:02,104
Man:
That's for the fastener.

1113
00:59:02,106 --> 00:59:04,006
We'll go sort out the money.

1114
00:59:04,008 --> 00:59:06,208
Don't come back
for another change, okay?

1115
00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:07,910
We gotta get this thing done.

1116
00:59:07,912 --> 00:59:10,045
To an engineer--
and I'm an engineer--

1117
00:59:10,047 --> 00:59:13,682
if you give an engineer
enough time, money,

1118
00:59:13,684 --> 00:59:15,183
it can be done.

1119
00:59:15,185 --> 00:59:16,985
We can put a person
on the moon.

1120
00:59:16,987 --> 00:59:19,555
You just need a lot of time
and a lot of money.

1121
00:59:19,557 --> 00:59:21,256
You know, remember,
automotive industry's

1122
00:59:21,258 --> 00:59:22,758
over 100 years old now.

1123
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,993
It's not like we are doing

1124
00:59:24,995 --> 00:59:28,130
a lot of stuff
that hasn't been done before.

1125
00:59:28,132 --> 00:59:30,032
A car is a car.

1126
00:59:30,034 --> 00:59:32,901
At it's most basic,
an automobile is automobile.

1127
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:36,004
But to come out
with a winning product,

1128
00:59:36,006 --> 00:59:37,873
you have to make choices,

1129
00:59:37,875 --> 00:59:41,944
and the team that makes
the most correct choices

1130
00:59:41,946 --> 00:59:44,346
at the most
opportune time wins.

1131
00:59:48,952 --> 00:59:51,353
I was at
the 1964 world's fair.

1132
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:56,058
They had all
the various pavilions,

1133
00:59:56,060 --> 00:59:58,126
but the one that caught
my eye was right in the front.

1134
00:59:58,128 --> 00:59:59,895
It was the Ford rotunda

1135
00:59:59,897 --> 01:00:02,598
and outside of it
was a mustang.

1136
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,067
Me and my brother
sat in that line

1137
01:00:05,069 --> 01:00:07,703
for a long time while
everybody wandered around.

1138
01:00:07,705 --> 01:00:11,106
It was quite
a memorable thing for me.

1139
01:00:11,108 --> 01:00:13,041
It just hit me.

1140
01:00:13,043 --> 01:00:16,812
Hal: In April of '64,
when the car came out,

1141
01:00:16,814 --> 01:00:18,880
the same week,
made the cover

1142
01:00:18,882 --> 01:00:21,783
of both time and newsweek,
so there was an energy.

1143
01:00:23,653 --> 01:00:25,754
This was something big
in America.

1144
01:00:25,756 --> 01:00:27,990
Announcer:
Introducing the unexpected,

1145
01:00:27,992 --> 01:00:29,625
the new Ford mustang.

1146
01:00:29,627 --> 01:00:31,860
Frank: They booked time
on all three networks

1147
01:00:31,862 --> 01:00:33,962
so it was completely
blasted to the world.

1148
01:00:33,964 --> 01:00:36,164
People swamped the dealerships.

1149
01:00:36,166 --> 01:00:37,866
They actually
had to call police,

1150
01:00:37,868 --> 01:00:39,301
the crowds were so big.

1151
01:00:39,303 --> 01:00:40,902
In the first 18 months,

1152
01:00:40,904 --> 01:00:43,972
they sold a million
of these cars.

1153
01:00:43,974 --> 01:00:46,975
They could not build mustang
fast enough.

1154
01:00:56,853 --> 01:01:00,288
Hal:
Iacocca was betting his career,

1155
01:01:00,290 --> 01:01:01,957
but he was betting in an area

1156
01:01:01,959 --> 01:01:05,160
in which he had
a unique skill.

1157
01:01:05,162 --> 01:01:06,695
He knew the market.

1158
01:01:09,766 --> 01:01:11,366
He was as good as they get.

1159
01:01:13,369 --> 01:01:17,172
Eventually, Lee became
President of the company.

1160
01:01:17,174 --> 01:01:18,440
He was the king.

1161
01:01:37,026 --> 01:01:39,061
Male reporter:
Lee iacocca,

1162
01:01:39,063 --> 01:01:40,829
president
of the Ford motor company,

1163
01:01:40,831 --> 01:01:44,066
was fired by Henry Ford ii,
chairman of the board.

1164
01:01:44,068 --> 01:01:46,234
Publicly, they said
it was a disagreement

1165
01:01:46,236 --> 01:01:48,170
about the company's management.

1166
01:01:48,172 --> 01:01:51,840
Privately, by one report,
iacocca asked Ford why,

1167
01:01:51,842 --> 01:01:53,475
what he had done wrong?"

1168
01:01:53,477 --> 01:01:56,478
And Ford answered,
"i just don't like you."

1169
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,014
I don't know if you know,
i was fired

1170
01:01:59,016 --> 01:02:01,883
along with iacocca
from the company.

1171
01:02:01,885 --> 01:02:04,720
So it's--
it was a dangerous place.

1172
01:02:04,722 --> 01:02:06,488
You know.

1173
01:02:06,490 --> 01:02:09,725
He came to work one day,
and everything was a normal day.

1174
01:02:09,727 --> 01:02:12,761
And when he left that afternoon,
he was fired.

1175
01:02:12,763 --> 01:02:14,362
It happened that fast.

1176
01:02:19,135 --> 01:02:22,304
On a personal basis,
i liked iacocca.

1177
01:02:22,306 --> 01:02:24,406
He was smart...

1178
01:02:24,408 --> 01:02:28,343
The energy,
sense of humor.

1179
01:02:28,345 --> 01:02:31,980
On the business side,
he had one big fault--

1180
01:02:31,982 --> 01:02:34,049
too large an ego.

1181
01:02:34,051 --> 01:02:37,753
He actually thought
that he could get the directors

1182
01:02:37,755 --> 01:02:39,788
to put him over Henry.

1183
01:02:39,790 --> 01:02:41,957
I learned about it,

1184
01:02:41,959 --> 01:02:45,927
and when I told Henry Ford
about it,

1185
01:02:45,929 --> 01:02:49,397
he fired iacocca.

1186
01:02:49,399 --> 01:02:51,032
Did that make him a dictator?

1187
01:02:51,034 --> 01:02:52,467
Well, that's the way
you run a company.

1188
01:02:52,469 --> 01:02:55,203
You can't run a company
if you're going to have

1189
01:02:55,205 --> 01:02:57,372
two guys competing
for the top job.

1190
01:02:57,374 --> 01:02:59,441
Get that cleared up right away.

1191
01:02:59,443 --> 01:03:02,177
You were asked a question
many, many times.

1192
01:03:02,179 --> 01:03:04,880
If you knew how bad it was,
would you have done it?

1193
01:03:10,487 --> 01:03:13,021
Nobody would do that in life.

1194
01:03:13,023 --> 01:03:14,422
If you knew--

1195
01:03:14,424 --> 01:03:16,925
if god let you know
what was coming next,

1196
01:03:16,927 --> 01:03:19,327
a lot of guys would go
and shoot themselves.

1197
01:03:19,329 --> 01:03:21,563
He don't let you know that,
thank god, okay?

1198
01:03:21,565 --> 01:03:24,366
So that's a silly question,
in a way.

1199
01:03:24,368 --> 01:03:26,968
Would you like to go
in the infantry for four years

1200
01:03:26,970 --> 01:03:28,303
and get shot at?

1201
01:03:28,305 --> 01:03:30,071
No.
If I had a choice, no.

1202
01:03:30,073 --> 01:03:32,340
If I knew that, I wouldn't have
joined up in the war.

1203
01:03:32,342 --> 01:03:37,179
I know, but you don't know
how bad it's gonna be.

1204
01:03:37,181 --> 01:03:38,880
So, no, yeah.

1205
01:03:38,882 --> 01:03:40,549
That's destiny,
they call that.

1206
01:03:40,551 --> 01:03:41,983
Don't fight it.

1207
01:03:44,420 --> 01:03:46,321
Next time I'm gonna control
my destiny, though.

1208
01:03:57,099 --> 01:03:59,501
My job is not to yell
at people and make--

1209
01:03:59,503 --> 01:04:01,870
I'll do that if I need to,
but that's not my job.

1210
01:04:01,872 --> 01:04:04,239
My job is to be the biggest
cheerleader in the group.

1211
01:04:07,443 --> 01:04:09,277
It's funny,
i think people are more--

1212
01:04:09,279 --> 01:04:12,013
they're more than willing
to walk out on a limb,

1213
01:04:12,015 --> 01:04:14,382
even if they think
that limb might break,

1214
01:04:14,384 --> 01:04:17,285
if they know that you're
gonna be there to catch them.

1215
01:04:17,287 --> 01:04:18,987
And I think that's
the biggest thing.

1216
01:04:18,989 --> 01:04:20,288
I think that's the freedom.

1217
01:04:20,290 --> 01:04:21,890
As a leader,
what I try to do

1218
01:04:21,892 --> 01:04:23,391
is I try to give them
the freedom.

1219
01:04:23,393 --> 01:04:26,061
There's a lot
of smart people held back

1220
01:04:26,063 --> 01:04:28,129
by their own fears
or inhibitions.

1221
01:04:28,131 --> 01:04:30,465
And if you allow them to go
out on the edge,

1222
01:04:30,467 --> 01:04:33,034
hang out a little bit,
knowing that no matter

1223
01:04:33,036 --> 01:04:35,270
what happens,
you will catch them,

1224
01:04:35,272 --> 01:04:38,039
they will go out
on the thinnest branches

1225
01:04:38,041 --> 01:04:40,075
even though they think,
"that thing's gonna crack,"

1226
01:04:40,077 --> 01:04:42,410
they'll go because they know
you're gonna be there for them.

1227
01:04:42,412 --> 01:04:44,412
And when they start doing that,
when more and more people

1228
01:04:44,414 --> 01:04:47,983
start doing that, the power that
you unleash is unbelievable.

1229
01:04:47,985 --> 01:04:50,218
Because when everyone
stays reserved and,

1230
01:04:50,220 --> 01:04:52,621
"I'm not gonna do that because
i might fail,"

1231
01:04:52,623 --> 01:04:54,522
or, "i might get hurt,"
or whatever,

1232
01:04:54,524 --> 01:04:56,524
then the whole team
doesn't progress

1233
01:04:56,526 --> 01:04:58,593
as far forward as they could.
But when they're out there

1234
01:04:58,595 --> 01:05:01,096
slaying dragons
because they know

1235
01:05:01,098 --> 01:05:03,665
that if the dragon gets
a little unruly

1236
01:05:03,667 --> 01:05:06,968
that you're gonna come in
and finish him off,

1237
01:05:06,970 --> 01:05:10,105
they'll slay dragons
all day long for you, man.

1238
01:05:10,107 --> 01:05:11,539
Right?

1239
01:05:25,354 --> 01:05:26,988
You want to be interviewed?

1240
01:05:26,990 --> 01:05:28,590
Man: Oh, yeah, man.
I'm the man.

1241
01:05:28,592 --> 01:05:30,558
What you wanna talk about?
2015 mustang.

1242
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,594
- What do you think?
- I think it's an awesome car.

1243
01:05:32,596 --> 01:05:35,196
- You think it's an awesome car?
- I think it's gonna sell good

1244
01:05:35,198 --> 01:05:37,432
and it's gonna keep a lot
of people working here.

1245
01:05:37,434 --> 01:05:39,701
- It's a legend man.
It's a legend.
- It is a legend.

1246
01:05:39,703 --> 01:05:41,703
And it gets better
and better over time.

1247
01:05:41,705 --> 01:05:43,371
That's the beauty of it.

1248
01:05:43,373 --> 01:05:44,673
Thank you for helping us
build it, man.

1249
01:05:44,675 --> 01:05:46,474
No problem. No problem.
You got me, right?

1250
01:05:46,476 --> 01:05:48,643
- All right.

1251
01:05:48,645 --> 01:05:52,514
At the beginning of a program,
it's all hope and potential

1252
01:05:52,516 --> 01:05:54,149
and opportunity and stuff.

1253
01:05:54,151 --> 01:05:56,184
You know, frankly,
once you start a program,

1254
01:05:56,186 --> 01:05:58,253
95% of what you learn
is bad.

1255
01:06:02,291 --> 01:06:03,692
Of course, yeah.

1256
01:06:03,694 --> 01:06:08,296
By design, this edge has
to be parallel to this edge.

1257
01:06:08,298 --> 01:06:10,131
Right.

1258
01:06:10,133 --> 01:06:13,735
Art: It is a tenuous time
in the program,

1259
01:06:13,737 --> 01:06:16,204
there's a lot that can
go wrong from here.

1260
01:06:16,206 --> 01:06:18,340
I thank you, the Ford motor
company thanks you.

1261
01:06:18,342 --> 01:06:19,741
He thanks you.

1262
01:06:19,743 --> 01:06:22,243
The shareholders
and stockholders thank you.

1263
01:06:22,245 --> 01:06:24,512
- Bill Ford thanks you.

1264
01:06:24,514 --> 01:06:28,249
Thanks, guys.
All right, what else?

1265
01:06:28,251 --> 01:06:30,585
Hau: Often times,
you're defending the car.

1266
01:06:30,587 --> 01:06:32,654
You're fighting for the car,

1267
01:06:32,656 --> 01:06:35,156
and there are days when you
go home and you feel like,

1268
01:06:35,158 --> 01:06:37,325
"wow, nobody wants me
to be successful."

1269
01:06:37,327 --> 01:06:39,427
Was it deemed a failure
out of cae,

1270
01:06:39,429 --> 01:06:41,596
or was it something that,
as we looked at it, we thought,

1271
01:06:41,598 --> 01:06:43,732
"hey, it'd be nice to have
another mil or two
of clearance?"

1272
01:06:43,734 --> 01:06:47,369
Woman:
I mean, obviously, the vehicle
requirement is no contact

1273
01:06:47,371 --> 01:06:49,437
between the bracket
and the solenoid,

1274
01:06:49,439 --> 01:06:53,208
and what you guys showed
was a one-mil contact.

1275
01:06:53,210 --> 01:06:55,143
Therefore,
it was a failure.

1276
01:06:55,145 --> 01:06:57,178
Man: It was a personal foul
of one mil.

1277
01:06:57,180 --> 01:06:59,647
Dave: The program's hanging
by a millimeter at the moment.

1278
01:06:59,649 --> 01:07:01,649
Man: No, it's just that
we believe

1279
01:07:01,651 --> 01:07:03,451
that if we're showing contact
from the cae model,

1280
01:07:03,453 --> 01:07:05,653
we're likely to have
a fracture.

1281
01:07:05,655 --> 01:07:08,723
So I guess that's kind of
where we are.

1282
01:07:11,394 --> 01:07:16,464
Hau: You very rarely ever see
a repeat chief engineer.

1283
01:07:16,466 --> 01:07:19,267
You're either viewed
as being successful

1284
01:07:19,269 --> 01:07:22,404
and you get asked to go
do something bigger and better

1285
01:07:22,406 --> 01:07:24,606
or you get asked to go do
something different.

1286
01:07:24,608 --> 01:07:27,208
Man: All right, so we've got
everybody lined up.

1287
01:07:27,210 --> 01:07:29,677
They'll re-mesh the file,
they'll get it rerun tonight.

1288
01:07:29,679 --> 01:07:31,813
The model will be done
by noon tomorrow, yes?

1289
01:07:31,815 --> 01:07:33,715
Man:
Having looked at the model,

1290
01:07:33,717 --> 01:07:36,317
and maybe I'm being
a wild-ass optimist here,

1291
01:07:36,319 --> 01:07:38,286
I think we're on the verge
of getting that.

1292
01:07:38,288 --> 01:07:39,654
I think we're right there.

1293
01:07:42,158 --> 01:07:45,193
At the end of the day,
we've got to have

1294
01:07:45,195 --> 01:07:48,630
zero major issues,
and like I said,

1295
01:07:48,632 --> 01:07:51,433
it's not done until we get
all the way up to job 1.

1296
01:08:03,412 --> 01:08:06,181
Dave's been a chief for,
you know, quite a while,

1297
01:08:06,183 --> 01:08:09,584
so in a lot of ways,
it's make or break sometimes.

1298
01:08:09,586 --> 01:08:12,854
But I mean, you just have
to live--

1299
01:08:12,856 --> 01:08:15,356
you just have to live
for the car that you're on.

1300
01:08:19,562 --> 01:08:22,530
No.

1301
01:08:22,532 --> 01:08:24,833
I can be very
clear about that. No.

1302
01:08:34,210 --> 01:08:37,612
One year I counted
every bird that we had.

1303
01:08:37,614 --> 01:08:39,147
I just said,
"I'm gonna do it."

1304
01:08:39,149 --> 01:08:41,282
They're literally like
our friends.

1305
01:08:41,284 --> 01:08:44,252
Woman: I don't even fill
the back birdfeeder anymore

1306
01:08:44,254 --> 01:08:47,188
because you fill it up,
and an hour later,

1307
01:08:47,190 --> 01:08:49,324
squirrels will have
just devoured it,

1308
01:08:49,326 --> 01:08:51,326
thrown it all on the ground
and whatever.

1309
01:08:51,328 --> 01:08:53,361
Tom still fills the back one.
I don't.

1310
01:08:53,363 --> 01:08:56,297
Absolutely, squirrels deserve
every right they,

1311
01:08:56,299 --> 01:08:58,299
you know,
we can provide them.

1312
01:09:01,337 --> 01:09:06,374
Woman: I don't think he works
harder than the job needs.

1313
01:09:06,376 --> 01:09:09,777
There are times where i
wish there was a cutoff

1314
01:09:09,779 --> 01:09:12,780
where it would stop.

1315
01:09:12,782 --> 01:09:17,785
But a lot of times it doesn't.
It can't stop.

1316
01:09:17,787 --> 01:09:21,789
We say to each other,
"it is what it is."

1317
01:09:21,791 --> 01:09:25,527
Tom: You know, we've worked
on this 50th car since 2009.

1318
01:09:25,529 --> 01:09:27,529
It takes a long time.

1319
01:09:27,531 --> 01:09:31,699
You have to have endurance,
and you just have to keep...

1320
01:09:31,701 --> 01:09:33,234
Going.

1321
01:09:39,208 --> 01:09:43,411
So many things
are very simple,

1322
01:09:43,413 --> 01:09:47,815
but it's very hard
to make something special.

1323
01:09:47,817 --> 01:09:49,517
You know, I mean, you can
look at it different ways.

1324
01:09:49,519 --> 01:09:51,653
You could say,
"it's just a car,"

1325
01:09:51,655 --> 01:09:53,755
you know, whatever.

1326
01:09:53,757 --> 01:09:57,358
There's 60 million cars made
a year in the world now

1327
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,863
and this is just, you know,
one out of probably 1,000

1328
01:10:01,865 --> 01:10:04,799
different varieties
you could buy.

1329
01:10:04,801 --> 01:10:07,936
Lots of people do it
and it should be pretty simple

1330
01:10:07,938 --> 01:10:10,838
and standard,
but it is very complicated,

1331
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,609
and it has to be right.

1332
01:10:14,611 --> 01:10:17,612
It's so hard to explain
because it's so big.

1333
01:10:41,437 --> 01:10:43,371
Young woman: We are here
for mustangs across America

1334
01:10:43,373 --> 01:10:45,873
for the 50th anniversary
of mustang,

1335
01:10:45,875 --> 01:10:49,811
and it's the second day
of the cross-country trip.

1336
01:10:49,813 --> 01:10:52,513
And we will be driving
to las cruces later, right?

1337
01:10:52,515 --> 01:10:56,317
- Is that how we say it?
- That is correct. Good job.

1338
01:10:56,319 --> 01:11:01,289
We restored this 1971 mustang
as a father-daughter project.

1339
01:11:03,692 --> 01:11:05,960
We started in 2010.

1340
01:11:05,962 --> 01:11:07,629
Took us about three,

1341
01:11:07,631 --> 01:11:09,464
three and a half years
to get it done,

1342
01:11:09,466 --> 01:11:11,933
and we actually just
finished it this week.

1343
01:11:11,935 --> 01:11:15,436
Man: I am really envious
of all of you

1344
01:11:15,438 --> 01:11:18,406
getting to spend a week together
driving your favorite cars

1345
01:11:18,408 --> 01:11:20,308
across the U.S.,
and I expect to hear

1346
01:11:20,310 --> 01:11:21,876
all the stories in Charlotte.

1347
01:11:21,878 --> 01:11:25,713
- There you go. Square key.
- Yeah, I know.

1348
01:11:25,715 --> 01:11:27,782
Young woman:
Mustang's always gonna have

1349
01:11:27,784 --> 01:11:29,651
a special place in my heart
because it's the first

1350
01:11:29,653 --> 01:11:32,420
restoration
I've ever done with my dad.

1351
01:11:34,658 --> 01:11:36,991
It's my car.
It's my type of car.

1352
01:12:18,668 --> 01:12:20,768
Okay, where are we?

1353
01:12:32,848 --> 01:12:35,550
The shape it's in,
i think that is a success story.

1354
01:12:37,653 --> 01:12:41,589
Hau: When you're done,
it's kind of an odd feeling.

1355
01:12:43,793 --> 01:12:46,794
You certainly feel
a sense of satisfaction

1356
01:12:46,796 --> 01:12:49,997
of being on
a very long journey,

1357
01:12:49,999 --> 01:12:51,933
but that tension
is always there, you know,

1358
01:12:51,935 --> 01:12:53,835
is it gonna stand
the test of time?

1359
01:13:11,687 --> 01:13:14,021
Every new car that you do,

1360
01:13:14,023 --> 01:13:15,957
you go look
at a production car,

1361
01:13:15,959 --> 01:13:17,625
it's an emotion.

1362
01:13:17,627 --> 01:13:21,028
You saw her from the sketch,

1363
01:13:21,030 --> 01:13:22,897
and here it is in metal.

1364
01:13:22,899 --> 01:13:24,966
You can open the door.
You can sit in it.

1365
01:13:24,968 --> 01:13:26,801
You can drive it,
that's emotional.

1366
01:13:26,803 --> 01:13:29,570
It really is.

1367
01:13:29,572 --> 01:13:31,005
And if it isn't,
you've failed.

1368
01:13:37,980 --> 01:13:39,847
Woman: It's the time
for the big reveal,

1369
01:13:39,849 --> 01:13:41,449
the worldwide reveal.

1370
01:13:41,451 --> 01:13:44,085
The 2015 mustang!
Come on out!

1371
01:13:46,823 --> 01:13:48,990
I love this car.
It's beautiful.

1372
01:13:50,859 --> 01:13:53,628
As soon as it comes out, I'll be
first in line at the dealer.

1373
01:13:53,630 --> 01:13:55,797
2015 mustang.

1374
01:13:58,668 --> 01:14:01,068
Man: Dave pericak is the chief
engineer for the mustang.

1375
01:14:01,070 --> 01:14:03,171
When you build a new car,
you got a lot of history

1376
01:14:03,173 --> 01:14:04,906
you have to honor.

1377
01:14:04,908 --> 01:14:07,074
What was the main thing
you wanted to do new...

1378
01:14:07,076 --> 01:14:11,446
It's modernized
that original 1964 mustang.

1379
01:14:11,448 --> 01:14:15,583
The shape of the front grille,
it's just like it was back then.

1380
01:14:15,585 --> 01:14:17,518
Man: I like the shape,
especially the back lights.

1381
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,687
It's just like my '66.

1382
01:14:21,890 --> 01:14:25,560
Dave: I want them to say
that they got it right,

1383
01:14:25,562 --> 01:14:29,664
that this is the best mustang
that they've ever done.

1384
01:14:29,666 --> 01:14:32,667
- This is awesome.
- It is. It is awesome.

1385
01:14:35,537 --> 01:14:39,740
Bob: Henry Ford was a firm
believer in several things--

1386
01:14:39,742 --> 01:14:42,109
simplicity,

1387
01:14:42,111 --> 01:14:43,978
durability,

1388
01:14:43,980 --> 01:14:45,713
and low cost.

1389
01:14:45,715 --> 01:14:47,915
He always professed
that if you could do

1390
01:14:47,917 --> 01:14:50,051
those three things,

1391
01:14:50,053 --> 01:14:53,221
you would win the hearts
of the customers.

1392
01:14:53,223 --> 01:14:57,492
Growing up in an era
where everybody had a horse,

1393
01:14:57,494 --> 01:15:00,228
he'd say to the people,
"what do you want?"

1394
01:15:00,230 --> 01:15:03,531
You know, and they'd always say,
"a faster horse."

1395
01:15:03,533 --> 01:15:06,200
He gave them
something different.

1396
01:15:08,203 --> 01:15:10,104
John: That's why mustang
is different.

1397
01:15:10,106 --> 01:15:11,839
They didn't ask
the marketplace,

1398
01:15:11,841 --> 01:15:13,875
"what do you want?"

1399
01:15:13,877 --> 01:15:15,943
They were car people,
and they said,

1400
01:15:15,945 --> 01:15:17,745
"what do we want?"

1401
01:15:20,816 --> 01:15:23,951
Man: Whatever year
your favorite mustang is,

1402
01:15:23,953 --> 01:15:27,221
whatever color it is,
whatever's your favorite,

1403
01:15:27,223 --> 01:15:30,224
it will be there in Charlotte.

1404
01:15:30,226 --> 01:15:32,827
Young woman: I think my
favorite aspect of this car

1405
01:15:32,829 --> 01:15:35,730
would have to be
how original we made it

1406
01:15:35,732 --> 01:15:38,032
and how original it is.

1407
01:15:40,836 --> 01:15:42,270
It looks like a mustang
that you would have seen

1408
01:15:42,272 --> 01:15:44,539
rolling around in 1971.

1409
01:15:46,174 --> 01:15:48,876
And I really, really like
that aspect of it.

1410
01:16:04,693 --> 01:16:07,161
Woman: If I could ask you all
to please rise

1411
01:16:07,163 --> 01:16:08,963
for our national anthem.

1412
01:16:56,612 --> 01:16:57,945
Prakash:
People forget...

1413
01:17:00,148 --> 01:17:02,650
That we are engineers,
but we are people,

1414
01:17:02,652 --> 01:17:04,352
and people make cars.

1415
01:17:04,354 --> 01:17:06,220
They build cars,
they design cars,

1416
01:17:06,222 --> 01:17:08,255
they develop cars,
they style cars.

1417
01:17:08,257 --> 01:17:11,626
So whether we like it or not,
people's personalities

1418
01:17:11,628 --> 01:17:13,060
are reflected
in what they do.

1419
01:17:13,062 --> 01:17:17,264
And no two people are alike.

1420
01:17:17,266 --> 01:17:21,068
Hau: It's a fraternity of people
who worked on this car.

1421
01:17:21,070 --> 01:17:24,305
That's what makes it special,
and certainly, for me,

1422
01:17:24,307 --> 01:17:26,774
it's a part of me.

1423
01:17:26,776 --> 01:17:28,909
Once you work on the mustang,

1424
01:17:28,911 --> 01:17:31,746
you're always part
of team mustang.

1425
01:17:31,748 --> 01:17:35,182
Hal: Somehow you are connected
to something that was exciting.

1426
01:17:35,184 --> 01:17:37,418
That connection's still there.

1427
01:17:37,420 --> 01:17:41,122
It's still a love affair
that happened way back when,

1428
01:17:41,124 --> 01:17:44,258
and people are
still knocked out by it

1429
01:17:44,260 --> 01:17:46,060
and still excited about it.

1430
01:17:50,966 --> 01:17:54,001
Gale: You know what I used
to use as a Gauge

1431
01:17:54,003 --> 01:17:57,905
on the cars that I worked on
is I would say to myself,

1432
01:17:57,907 --> 01:18:00,975
"would I like to wash this car?

1433
01:18:00,977 --> 01:18:03,878
Would I feel happy
out there washing it

1434
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,681
and cleaning it
as a designer?"

1435
01:18:06,683 --> 01:18:09,750
And that was a goal
i personally had.

1436
01:18:09,752 --> 01:18:13,287
How many people like to
go out and wash their car?

1437
01:18:13,289 --> 01:18:15,222
Only if it's a favorite car

1438
01:18:15,224 --> 01:18:19,060
that they like
to drive or something.

1439
01:18:19,062 --> 01:18:21,328
If it's a car they don't
really like that much,

1440
01:18:21,330 --> 01:18:23,831
they don't wash it at all,
right?

1441
01:18:24,330 --> 01:18:25,831
