She was ready.
Lyn St. James had already spent time tooling around her father’s shop, learning about mechanics and quickly developing a proficiency and respect for all things that moved in the right order. She had already developed a fascination for cars. And she had decided to attend a drag race over the Ohio state line in Louisville, Ky., to watch a friend enter his Pontiac GTO and lose.

In the history of manufacturing, few bloodlines have had as much direct influence on the way we live our lives as the Peugeots.
Nestled in the “Doubs” district of eastern France, they were industrialists who began their own revolution; they were mass producers before the 20th century production cycle had firmly taken shape.

Placed end to end, you could line the number of patents he created all the way to Europe. There was the safety body shell. The crumple zone. The multi-piece steering column.
How many lives has he preserved through his passive safety inventions? Moreover, how could one man really be responsible for creating so much that was so beneficial for so many?
