For someone who wants a big sedan, V8 and RWD for a reasonable price, there are few that come close.
 It’s great to know that companies like Chrysler are willing to extend a helping hand to those in need. I do hope that the signature are not printed with permanent ink or paint even though it’s great to have a car with a hundred celebrity’s signature in it.
