His last name is an acronym...

I Am Chairman Of Chrysler Corporation America :)

As told to me by Mr. Iacocca's childhood friend Bill Hicks:

He named the car the Mustang after his first car, which he called The Mustang. He gave his first car this name because there was a hood ornament of...yeah, a mustang
