If I remember correctly, it wasn’t until Chrysler was going belly up and Iacocca stepped up to the plate, and the government bailed out Chrysler, that the Detroit establishment began to get a clue that they really had to change. By then they were a couple of decades behind the Asian and European makers who were doing more with less.

Yes, like monocoque construction amongst other thing. They were still framing sheet metal around iron chassis for years.
