New DaimlerChrysler Dealer

Monday Phil West announced that next fall he would open a DaimlerChrysler dealership in St Marys. The new building will be located on vacant land next to Downtown Pontiac Buick. In 1996 owner Chris West, Phil's father, moved Downtown Pontiac Buick to its current location at 449 Queen St W from its downtown location at what is now Tim Hortons.

The area has not had a Chrysler dealer since Kalbfleish Bros in Stratford closed last year.

In 2006 Chrysler sales in Canada were up slightly. They had no new vehicles last year but for 2007 they will introduce their revamped Town and Country minivan to be built in Windsor, Ontario.
