Submitted by Randy Holden:Chrysler, as we knew it, has ceased to exist. Proof of this was made vividly apparent today, May 14, 2009, as Chrysler forced 789 of its loyal dealerships into nonexistence. As part of their federal government bankruptcy reorganization, overseen by Obama’s administration and car czar, there are 789 fewer Chrysler dealerships today than there were yesterday. And the dealerships had no say in their fate whatsoever. That’s tens of thousands of jobs gone, and the outlets for Chrysler products has been cut by almost a full third. Among the dealerships closed down, you’ll find some longtime icons like both of the Painters’ brothers dealerships in Utah, both of Donald Palmer’s dealerships in Indiana, and countless others. The size, age, and location of the dealerships doesn’t seem to have come into play.
