To go along the same lines as Sarrows post, who was the engineer credited with the car that in April of 1964 had truck drivers driving through showroom windows looking at them and demand out stripping sales by 15 to 1. Between April of 1964 and January of 1965 this car sold 680,000 units. If you know the engineer you know the car.
