Chrysler LLC Partners with Russo and Steele

Monterey, CA. (Aug 7, 2007) -- Russo and Steele Collector Automobiles Auction has re-signed Chrysler LLC, as a major automobile sponsor, for next three years for both its August Monterey, CA auction and its January Scottsdale, AZ auction. Russo and Steele’s 7th Annual “Sports and Muscle in Monterey” will be staged August 16th-18th, 2007 in the downtown Monterey Marriott, 350 Calle Principal. The auction features 150 of the finestest European sports cars, American muscle cars, hot rods and customs.

“Having Chrysler on board with us gives Russo and Steele the higher profile we have been working toward for seven years. It is a validation of how far we’ve come in such a short period of time,” said Drew Alcazar, owner of Russo and Steele. The partnership between Chrysler LLC and Russo and Steele strengthen Russo and Steele’s position as one of the “Big Three” collector automobile auctions.
Chrysler LLC will be featuring four automobiles throughout the Russo and Steele Monterey event including: the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10, the Dodge Charger SRT8, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and the Chrysler Sebring Convertible.

The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is the ultimate American sports car and the icon of the Dodge brand. For 2008, the Dodge Viper SRT10 offers even more outrageous power, with an 8-4-liter 600-horsepower V-10 engine contributing to blistering acceleration (0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the low 12-second range), setting a new American sports car benchmark.

The Jeep brand offers customers the freshest, most capable and widest range of sport-utility vehicles under one brand in the industry. The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the first four-wheel-drive SRT vehicle. It’s the quickest, most powerful Jeep vehicle ever created, offering astonishing on-road and all-weather ability and power.

For the Dodge Charger SRT8 the key SRT ingredients include the 6.1-liter, 425-horsepower HEMI engine, world-class ride and handling, benchmark braking, functional and aggressive-looking exterior enhancements, and a race-inspired interior.
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is characterized by its sleek, elegant styling. It is a look achieved by a long hood and roofline, and a high chrome beltline. As American’s best-selling convertible for more than seven of the past 10 years is the first four-passenger convertible to offer customers the choice of either a vinyl top, soft top or retractable steel hard top.
