There’s an e-mail circulating out there about Chrysler Corporation trashing its archives collection because of the government’s restructuring of the company after bankruptcy. Apparently, some internet bloggers have picked up on this story as well and have run with it as gospel truth and are pondering whether GM will have to scrap all their archival materials and collections as well. Please! Do not believe everything you read on the internet!
We spoke with Galen Govier about this story because he had just gotten off the phone with the guys at the WPC Museum about it. The execs and curators at the WPC Museum, who are in charge of Chrysler’s historical records and historical car collection, assured Galen that the story is 100% false. They HAVE NOT destroyed anything in their archives, nor have they been ordered to liquidate anything from the historical collection. So, at least as of now, this is nothing more than an internet rumor. If the feds do force Chrysler into having a world-class garage sale, believe us, we’ll tell you about it as soon as we get the word.
