Who is deciding which ones close? What is the reasoning behind closing very profitable dealerships and leaving others open? Is it re-distribution? Could it be that the minority dealership accross town that will now get to STEAL free of charge the brand that the dealer who worked his whole life and invested all of his money into is the one who will benefit? I cannot prove it, but I will bet my right arm that this is what is going on. These dealers OWN THEIR DEALERSHIP. They OWN THEIR INVENTORY. They front the money for company rebates, and incentives and then the car company pays them back every few weeks. How many of these dealerships do you suppose will get the incentive money owed to them? So not only do they lose their livelihood, and their employees. The local TV and papers lose the advirtising $$'s. Which in most markets account for about 65% of their income. How often can you listen to the radio, or watch TV without a car commercial. The local down the line suppliers will go out of business. Why in the hell is Obama being allowed to totally TRASH out country and not one ledgislator, or one attorney has raised a hand to stop him? It is sickening! Spineless men always want to be in charge of everything, and then they just roll over and give up or make a dirty behind the back deal. I am so sick of the metrosexual male it just makes me want to puke! Where are the real men at? OH I forgot, in Iraq, and Afganistan, and on the border of the country having their lives, and livlihoods, and civil rights being sold out from under them by the stinking cowards that are here.

Haven't had good luck with American made cars unfortunately and at the price tag, I now drive a Honda Civic. No offense, but it is an excellent vehicle, there are Hondas made in the US. I looked at all kinds of vehicles before purchasing this. For what I got, an American made counterpart was several thousand more. US manufacturers are in the mess they are in because they simply pay their workers too much and charge too much for their cars.

It was a great car. It hugged the road and was heavy. A little weight in the trunk and I could go anywhere in the snow.

Seeing the maker of the 57 Chevy in the shape it is in is sort of like seeing an old favorite uncle coming down off of a drunk and being then led away by a sly, fiendish friend down a different alley to smoke some crack with cousin Dart. It is sad to see them go that way. Chevrolet and Dodge are part of the American family. We may never look at them with the same fondness again but perhaps our great great grandkids will have one of each parked between their flying Ford and helium powered Harley. For now, we have decided that when we get our youngest daughter her first new car it will not be a GM or Chrysler automobile. We simply will not trust a car built by a company run by greedy union bosses and easily distracted politicians. We will choose the sober uncle, who is not living with his relatives, Ford.

Until he borrowed my car one winter night in New York and he freaked how well it hugged the road and handled itself. He then bought 2! One for street racing.

I have actually seen the same color combo at car shows. I'm going to look for Fairlane convertibles at the next "Cherries Jubilee" here in Monterey. My then future brother-in-law had a Fairlane hardtop, light green and cream. They are still very snazzy looking cars. I think it cost somewhere around $1800.

Funny, just yesterday at Lowes, I stopped dead at a car pulling in. I was wondering what it was, it has such a nice retro look. Yep, a Ford Thunderbird. http://www.lemonfree.com/reviews/images/04-thunderbird-1.jpg Now, wouldn't an Electric Ford T Bird be AWESOME? :) My OWN first car, was a Ford Comet. Although my Mom had 5 kids she would buy cars for to use and pass on. When I met my hubby in '79, he was driving a Ford Pinto. (YIKES) Good for Ford, Great post, thank you.
