He should have been in the top 10, in fact I would have booted Bill Ford off that list to make sure he got a proper mention.

While I can understand his inclusion, Bill Ford only did what he did so that he could please the shareholders, nothing more and nothing less.

Geoff Polites on the other hand made the Falcon desirable again. If BA didn't fire the way it did, I doubt that FG would have happened. Geoff gave the Ford faithful what they wanted, be that the power, be that styling, be that wild colours, be that success on the racetrack again. He made sure that the Falcon was a car that people wanted and could be proud they owned.
