Chrysler pulled the plug on hundreds of auto dealer franchise agreements across the nation, including several in the Chicago area.
As a bankrupt company, Chrysler is looking to survive and one of the ways is eliminate dealers that are lower volume.
Some say the situation could have been worse with closing all dealerships. Franchises could still operate as "used car" dealers or seek other brands eventually.
Meanwhile, GM is considering dramatic measures if it goes into bankruptcy and will do the same to 1100 dealerships initially.

So sad to listen the Chrysler has become insolvent.Pied a Terre
Hey all you UAW workers how do you like your boy in the white house now? Keep voting stupidly and you will never have another good job because your boy is all about destroying small business to satisfy the non-producing people of the country. Long live ACORN and the UAW HA HA.
I suppose now that the UAW owns Chrysler as a pay back for voting for Osama Obama you can strike against yourselves when you need a pay raise. Proof you really can screw yourself.
Finally that scumbag Bill Kay gets what he deserves. Funny, when Bill Kay tried to rip me off, Chrysler responded to my letters that they had no control over these "independent" dealerships.
Most Chrysler and GM dealerships I've dealt with are crooks and scam artists (yes, I know all car dealers play the same games), so if they went with a lousy brand with lousy quality, that's their problem.
Thy went with a lousy union being paid off by a lousy president.....thats why they are closing.
The silence from the UAW and their workers is deafening!
