You are spot on.

I will say - he was more personable than the average, insulated, product of corporate incest Detroit executive back in the day -- and it's a low bar lol. AND I will say he was temporarily effective at being somewhat of a 'carguy' who cared deeply about fit and finish and in some instances, he told the bean-counters to shove it up their ass.

But those were rare flashes -- your overall assessment is spot on.
