Thanks Chris. Other than Ford, the Dodge brothers and Chrysler I had never seen pictures of these men before.

Everyone knows their names.  They'd be welcome at CHEERS!

Only Henry Ford and Louis Chevrolet images are readily known to me. Others, names only.

Henry Ford changed a lot over the years but was likely the most photographed of all these gentlemen.

"I wonder what Mr. Yugo looks like?" 

Well...  a prototype vehicle was completed in the fall of 1978; it was collaborative effort of Zastava and Fiat engineers.   Searching high & low  for their photographs is a futile effort; they're nowhere to be found.     Those men & women choose to remain anonymous - for obvious reasons.    🙄 🙄 🙄

I heard that no one ever knew what Mr Yugo  looked like because they were always in the BACK of the car pushing it... 🙌

I am only familiar with pictures of Henry Ford and Louis Chevrolet. Others, just zyra names.

Despite his many changes over the years, Henry Ford was probably the most photographed of these people.
