I don’t recall Iacocca being involved in this at all.
I saw a documentary on this a few years ago and it was estimated Henry Ford spent around $200 Million in 1960’s dollars to win. I don’t know what that is in today’s money, maybe a $1 Billion.
I would enjoy this movie except for Damon, all of his recent movies have tanked, bad casting.
If enough of us wait until this hits cable, youtube, or Netflix, the money people in hollyweird may comprehend how toxic Damon has become to 50-60% of their potential paying customers and stop casting him in things. Remember Costner? When a studio or two throw a few hundred million down the john by casting a has been in a big production or 5, that tends to get has been actors a lot of free time once the money people figure out the issue.
