Chrysler Resumes Viper Production

Good news for Chrysler employees - unfortunately, there are now a lot fewer dealerships to sell these vehicles. It makes sense to start with a low volume product that is also highly profitable.

Chrysler's Plants Resume Production, Starting with Viper Operations – Automotive News & Car Rumors at Automobile Magazine:
"After a month-long bankruptcy during which all its plants were on standby, Chrysler is starting to switch the lights back on at its plants - starting with the Conner Avenue plant in Detroit that makes the Dodge Viper.

'At this time, we cannot give exact timing in regards to the start of production at our other manufacturing facilities,' the automaker said in a statement. It shut down all its plants after filing for bankruptcy on April 30th. Executives have said most plants will be back up and running by the end of June.

Chrysler will initially start manufacturing more 2009 model year vehicles, before switching to 2010 production during a normal shutdown in July."
