Few folks have as much experience at retiring as Bob Lutz, who seems to be making a career of it.
Earlier this year, the 77-year-old automotive veteran announced he would step down from his job as Vice Chairman of General Motors Corp. On July 10, he nixed that plan and agreed to stay on and help polish the image of key GM brands.
He’d surprised the industry by joining the automaker, in 2001, after a previous, brief jaunt as chief executive of the battery maker, Exide. Before that, Lutz had been second-in-command at Chrysler Corp., retiring shortly after that maker’s 1998 takeover by Germany’s then-Daimler-Benz. And, of course, he’d also hung up his flight suit, some years before, after a career as a Marine pilot. ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31908007/ns/business-autos/
