As long as what Chrysler did, regarding this dealer, it did with the approval of the bankruptcy court, then it’s actions still adhere to the laws, standards and history of U.S. law.
The purpose of Chapter 11 bankruptcy IS to work out a way for the company that files bankruptcy to remain viable, which includes the courts’ ability to alter or revoke contracts that the company would otherwise have to remain committed to.
Keep in mind that the dealership networks in each state have been very good at working their state politicians in the support of state laws regarding the contracts between auto manufacturers and auto dealers, to the clear advantage of the auto dealers (outside of bankruptcy proceedings) and making it very expensive, for the auto makers, to end those contracts. When GM ended the Oldsmobile brand it costs them billions just to end their contracts with Olds dealers.
That said, and knowing how der leader operates, IT IS appropriate to ask WHO ALL was involved in making up the lists of which dealers Chrysler asked the bankruptcy court it be allowed to end its relationship with.
To actually find that answer will probably take a new POTUS and a special prosecutor.

VERY telling.
I understand closing dealerships.
What I don’t understand is giving away someone else’s dealership to a stranger.
Something’s not right about this story.
