DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Former Ford Motor Co. President and Chrysler Group Chief Executive Officer Lee Iacocca has gone to bat for a Michigan museum, the Automotive Hall of Fame.
Like having Cal Ripken Jr. solicit funds for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Iacocca, who was inducted into the Automobile Hall of Fame in 1994, has sent a letter to potential contributors to the museum, which has fallen on hard times, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday.
