Two of our local NJ Chrysler dealers that have been in business over 100 years combined, are on the list. One of them, Belle Meade Garage, is the dealer that I bought my Sun Diagnostic Machine from. Very sad. The list is made up entirely of small family-oriented, community dealerships.
I see that Palmer Dodge in Indianapolis is on the list. That was the dealer that supplied the ill-fated Dodge Challenger pace cars for the 1971 Indy 500.

There are some pretty decent sized, long term dealers on this list. In my area, (Detroit), Monicatti C-J and Meadowbrook Dodge are pretty decent sized dealerships and both were updated fairly recently. Monicatti is a huge Chrysler Performance Parts dealer and has been in business since the early 60's. I see a whole lot of dealerships onwed by some active Muscle car collectors too.
My Ex has an ownership stake in two dealers, one C-J and one Dodge, and they dodged a bullet. In fact, in their case, the closing of the local Dodge dealer up the street means in essence, a "free" franchise for the C-J dealership.
A sad day indeed...
