Chrysler-Discloses-Auto-Dealerships-Closings-Illinois

CHICAGO,Illinois--Chrysler LLC slashing over 40 car dealerships in Illinois. Illinois Chrysler dealerships desperately attempted to stay optimistic. The auto maker had been suffering a number of financial difficultes, and when they declared bankruptcy it didn't come as a huge shock, but it has.



Chrysler eliminating 789 Dealerships Under Bankruptcy Restructuring Plan nevertheless had a huge impact on the country.




Many of the dealers' sales are too low, the automaker said. More than 38,000 people will be without work once the dealerships close on June 9.
