Fiat Dealership Locations approved by Chrysler

[XDCX]

Surprisingly, Chrysler has not provided a list of the dealers they have approved for the Fiat franchise or designated which markets have already been filled. Chrysler's Press Release indicates that the dealer selection process will continue through the end of the year and packages from non-Chrysler dealers will be evaluated.

I'd like to use this thread to compile the list of Fiat Dealership Locations and to designate whether the franchise was assigned to a Chrysler or non-Chrysler dealer. If you have a Fiat Dealership you'd like to add to the list, just add a post to this thread or send me an e-mail as xdcx@DealershipForum.com

If I'm not mistaken those stores will be less than 30 miles apart. Coon Rapids I think is less than 10 miles from Brookdale, I know they would not be the dealer but we all know how that works. I'm kind of surprised there is 2 stores in the Minneapolis market.

First post - Welcome to DealershipForum

[XDCX]

Thanks for the posts - I have updated the list of Fiat Dealership locations in the first post of this thread and I have sorted the list alphabetically by state.

I have also separated that Fiat Dealership locations issued to existing Chrysler Dealers from those issued to Non-Chrysler Dealers so it will be easier to tabulate the allocation.

Automotive News is reporting that Ed Tonkin has received the Fiat Franchise for Portland, OR and will sell Fiats from his existing Ducati Motorcycle dealership. Here's the link - click here

I'll add the dealership to the list...

Actually we have quite a rather large amount of small car registrations here in the twin cities.
