Fourteen Alabama Dealerships on List

There are fourteen Alabama Chrysler dealerships on the list ending their Chrysler affiliation the automaker presented to the bankruptcy court this morning. They span the state, from Cloverleaf Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in Decatur to Bondy's Jeep in Dothan. If the dealers sell more than one make of auto, they can continue to sell the other non-Chrysler makes, of course. GM is also expected to close its relationship with an even larger number of dealerships...some 1,200...and that list is expected tomorrow. A two-day punch in the gut of the American automobile business that will change it forever. Here's the list: Anderson Motor Company-------------Lanett Bondy's Jeep-------------------------- Dothan Classic Automotive-------------------- Cullman Drennen Chrysler-Jeep----------------Hoover Glynn Smith Jeep----------------------Opelika Greater B'ham Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep---Birmingham Greenville Motor Co.-------------------Greenville Superior Jeep-Chrysler-Plymouth-----Anniston Miller Sutherlin Auto ------------------Pell City Pierson Jeep---------------------------Gadsden Cloverleaf Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep--------Decatur Susan Schein Chrysler-Dodge-----------Pelham Terry Sligh Auto-----------------------Oneonta Victory Motor Company--------------- Prattville (this dealer closed on Friday, in advance of the list.) [UPDATE: Wall Street Journal story includes quotes from a Wetumpka, Alabama dealer] [NOTE: My original count was off, the Total of 14 is correct.]

  1. Cloverleaf Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep is in Decatur, NOT Huntsville.

    In Huntsville, the CDJ dealer is Madison Square Chrysler-Jeep.

  2. I'm sure you are correct, Kevin, but the list from Chrysler gives the address as 303 Williams Avenue SouthWest #1411, Huntsville Alabama 35801.
