Thousands of people around the country are impacted by the downturn in the auto industry.

Detroit radio station WCSX 94.7 FM put faces on those numbers with their "Faces Not Numbers" campaign, inspired by the Bob Seger song "Feel Like a Number", the morning team of Jeff Deminski and Bill Doyle collected more than 4,000 pictures of people associated with the auto industry and put them on a 100-foot long banner.

The banner, showing real people including families and children, was unveiled on Tuesday in front of Chrysler’s assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Mich. Deminski and Doyle intend to take the banner to Washington, D.C. on Thursday and show the banner to Congressional Representatives and other government officials in order to win government support for the auto industry.

Frederick CDJ (Boardman, OH) on the closure list must be a mistake. If you read how many people Bob has delivered Challengers to on just the challengertalk.com forums, it would have to be more than any other dealer. At least his is the most famous at the moment. This is like putting Grand-Spaulding Dodge on the list at the height of it’s days. think again, Frederick’s Dodge brings in a boatload of respect for Chrysler when it is needing it the most. Bob and the gang represent to most of us the integrity that auotmobile companies need the most. Think again and then again before you lose one of your best assets. Frederick CDJ RULES!!!! This is just some of the impact the auto industry will have. good luck everyone.

chrysler has announced they are eliminating about 800 dealers in us. I have heard some feedback from dealers on radio many say they are profitable and do well selling chrysler vehicles. I hope for chryslers sake they have thought this out and it is needed. The less dealers you have the less sales you will have and less service. If I was chrysler I would send out people to visit these dealers and see how they are set up and get a overall feeling about each dealer. This is risky if its done the wrong way...
