Chrysler Sponsor of 78th McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade

In just a little under a week, Chicago will be holding their 78^th McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade. As a part of that, Chrysler is proud to announce that it is now a vehicle sponsor for the parade. That means Chrysler vehicles will be giving all the floats and even Santa himself a ride on November 24^th. They have given 27 vehicles to the parade and its organizers. Among the vehicles being used to pull the floats are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, and the Dodge Durango. All of these cars are award winners and will be showing that top-of-the-line towing first-hand. Another car being shown off will be the newly redesigned Chrysler 200 convertible which will be the car of choice for the celebrities and dignitaries being shown off in the parade.

Jeff Kommor, Chrysler Midwest Business Center Director, says that, “Getting the opportunity to share in this time-honored Thanksgiving Day tradition is a real privilege for the Chrysler Group.” He added, “We are especially excited to see Santa increase the power of his ride from eight reindeer to the HEMI V8 in the Jeep Grand Cherokee at the end of the parade.”

Phil Purevich, Executive Director of the Chicago Festival Association thanked Chrysler for, “Generously providing vehicles for use in the parade, including transportation for many staff and volunteers working hard to make this even happen.” Chrysler will also be featuring one vehicle from each of its brands to show off during the parade. That includes a list of fine vehicles like the Dodge Challenger, the Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and the Fiat 500.

Thanksgiving parades are always a yearly highlight for not only myself but for many people. To see the good folks over at Chrysler provide a helping hand (and car) to the organizers and to the parade itself is wonderful. It's a real good chance to not only give back but to also show to the world why Chrysler provides some of the best rides out there.
