Axed Chrysler dealers list

[njsteve]

Two of our local NJ Chrysler dealers that have been in business over 100 years combined, are on the list. One of them, Belle Meade Garage, is the dealer that I bought my Sun Diagnostic Machine from. Very sad. The list is made up entirely of small family-oriented, community dealerships.

I see that Palmer Dodge in Indianapolis is on the list. That was the dealer that supplied the ill-fated Dodge Challenger pace cars for the 1971 Indy 500.

It's really a sad day for the auto industry and those who depend on these institutions to support their families.........I hope the negotiations are being fair and above board.to the rules of the existing. bankruptcy laws and not Washington pulling strings with obvious play and pay/back practices......*****This is just my take on what seems to be goin' on just lookin' past the smoke and mirrors****...I'm still having trouble invisioning a 426 Fiat that runs on batteries or soilent green...

From Provo UT (outside Salt Lake) to Las Vegas NV not one Chrysler dealer now, that's almost 400 miles on I-15 Not sure on the land mass but it's a whole lot!!

Not all of them are small dealers. My largest competitor is on the list. Some small dealers are still huge parts dealers... The jobs lost in all this are very unfortunate.

There are some pretty decent sized, long term dealers on this list. In my area, (Detroit), Monicatti C-J and Meadowbrook Dodge are pretty decent sized dealerships and both were updated fairly recently. Monicatti is a huge Chrysler Performance Parts dealer and has been in business since the early 60's. I see a whole lot of dealerships onwed by some active Muscle car collectors too.

My Ex has an ownership stake in two dealers, one C-J and one Dodge, and they dodged a bullet. In fact, in their case, the closing of the local Dodge dealer up the street means in essence, a "free" franchise for the C-J dealership.

A sad day indeed...
