— JACKSON (AP) — Chrysler LLC has told a bankruptcy court it plans to eliminate 789 of its dealers, including six from Mississippi.
An exhibit filed Thursday in its bankruptcy court case in New York names the dealerships. Those dealerships include:
— Andrews Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in Tylertown.
— Buddy Jones Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge-Jeep in Greenwood.
— Cartwright Motors in Booneville.
— Columbus Motor Company in Columbus.
— Southland Chrysler-Jeep Inc. in Southaven.
— Wilson Dodge Inc. in Flowood.
The dealers likely will have a right to appeal to get off the list. The move could have a devastating impact on cities across the U.S., costing jobs and tax revenue.
