Sign o' the Times

I'm sorry for the poor picture quality, but there was no way I was going to brave the traffic and construction to get closer with my camera phone.

This is a picture of Schlossman's Dodge City here in Milwaukee, "where you'll save a fistful of dollars". I had many dealings with them in my time at Job Prior. For nearly thirty years they sold Chrysler products from their location on S 27th Street.No longer. As part of the bailout restructuring they were forced to sever their relationship with the company.


"We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars sticking with an
underperforming manufacturer," [GM] Wolf said of Chrysler. "Then, to be pretty
much orphaned by them."

As I took this picture Chrysler was removing the signage at the dealership; Schlossman's had refused to so much as cover them with a tarp, putting the responsibility squarely on the company that dumped them.

The auto group intends to keep their business on 27th Street alive. As of this writing, they are now Schlossman . . . Subaru.

  1. I agree with your thoughts. We do lots of business with Schlossman, and will continue to do so as long as it isn't under warranty. That is sad, because they do a good job.
