Modified Cars - Huge Car Community

Former Ford Motor Company president Robert S. McNamar has just died in his sleep on Monday, the car god was 93. McNamara, both Berkeley and Harvard educated, joined Ford in 1946 as one of a group of 10 Whiz Kids. Henry Ford II hired those men, who had served together in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II, to revive his grandfather's company, which had lost $85 million in eight months. In 1955, he became general manager of the Ford Division, where he most famously introduced the four-seat Thunderbird. In 1957, when McNamara was promoted to vice president and group executive for cars and trucks, Ford outsold Chevrolet for the first time in 22 years. He was a very remarkable man, RIP Robert S. McNamar.
