Chrysler’s other shoe just dropped.<\/p>\n
A couple weeks ago, the car maker announced it would file Chapter 11 bankruptcy and reorganize (with the help of Italian auto company Fiat).<\/p>\n
Bankruptcy lets the company negotiate – in a way it couldn’t before – with unions, suppliers and dealers. Specifically, Chrysler can terminate contracts.<\/p>\n
This morning, the car maker released its list of dealers it will no longer supply – likely forcing the closure of these businesses.<\/p>\n
Some northern New York and Vermont dealers are on this list:<\/p>\n
Great Northern Motors Jeep on Route 11 in Malone<\/p>\n
Dominic Condino Motors selling Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep on State Street in Carthage<\/p>\n
John C. Miller Jeep on Perry Street in Johnstown (just south of the Adirondack Park and the town of Gloversville)<\/p>\n
Lewis Goodman Chrysler on W Genessee Street in Syracuse<\/p>\n
Bob Kavic Chrysler and Dodge on Route 28 in Herkimer<\/p>\n
Rutland Dodge on Route 7 in North Clarendon, Vermont<\/p>\n
and Walker Motors Jeep on River Street in Montpelier, Vermont<\/p>\n
Do you work at any of these dealerships? Do you know someone who does? Have you bought a vehicle from them? Were you planning on it?<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, those listed can appeal to Chrysler and possibly remain dealers.<\/p>\n
What do you think losing these dealerships – the jobs, the tax revenue, the ad revenue, the corporate philanthropy – will mean for your community?<\/p>\n
