That’s why Chrysler has made a commitment to the NAACP in its effort to incur more jobs and a better quality ot life tor everyone. It’s called The Fair Share Program. This kind of commitment has long been the Chrysler way of doing business. That's why several years ago the Chrysler Minority Dealer Program was initiated. Since then, the Chrysler Minority Dealer Program has produced some of the most successful Observer title d “ Insights in to the co m ing election” fo r thoughts about M a rg aret C arter and B ill M cC o y. Free Vision Screenings For Community Members dealerships in the industry: The way we do that is with one of the most extensive training and screening systems ever developed in the automobile business.

So, while the Chrysler Corporation goal is to continually increase the percentage of minority owned and operated dealerships in America, we will still look to maintain the high quality of service and dependability you have come to trust from us. All because at Chrysler Corporation, we believe fair share is the only way to work. For information on becoming one of Chrysler’s successful minority dealers, contact: Cecil M.
