Wishing you a Happy Holiday

Dear Customers,

On behalf of the entire Glenn E. Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep family we wish you a warm and joyous holiday greeting. We are now in our 101st year of business in the greater Long Beach area. We thank you for making it possible for us to continue to do business in both good times and bad. Many of you were first introduced to our dealership through your family, as we have employees today whose parents and grandparents have worked with us. It is these binding relationships that make it such a pleasure to be in the "people" business.

A new generation of cars will be arriving in our showroom this coming year. Fifteen new or redesigned models will arrive in 2011. We are excited about these new products and the future of the Chrysler Corporation. You may have read in USA Today that we are one of the 115 dealers across the country who have been awarded the FIAT franchise. The FIAT 500 will be a great addition to our product line-up. FIAT of Long Beach will provide the same type of quality, service, and sales that have made Glenn E. Thomas so successful for these past 100 years.

My Father Monte Davis started at Glenn E. Thomas Co. over 55 years ago. Along with my sons John and Brad we look forward to the next 100 years. With four grandsons already here I know the future will be in good hands.

We wish the best of health and prosperity in 2011 and thank you for making Glenn E. Thomas Co. the longest standing Chrysler dealership in California.

May God Bless You All,

Bob Davis President

John Davis General Manager

Take a Swing at Who is in this Photo

If you guessed Lou Gehrig, Glenn E. Thomas and Babe Ruth, you are right!

The two famous guests visited GET in 1927. Babe Ruth set a major league record that would stand for years, hitting 60 home runs in a single season, shortly after this photo was taken! Glenn E. Thomas heard the Yankees were coming to town to play in an exhibition game and had extended an invitation to Babe Ruth to be his guest at his favorite duck-hunting club. He brought his famous first baseman, Lou Gehrig, with him. The picture of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Glenn E. Thomas still adorns our showroom wall today.

G.E.T. Supports Letter-writing Campaign for U.S. Soldiers

G.E.T. Supports Letter-writing Campaign for U.S. Soldiers
Offers Free Zac Brown Band CDs

The “Letters for Lyrics” program, a partnership between the Ram Truck brand and Zac Brown Band, aims to collect 1 million letters to send to U.S. troops deployed around the world. Locally, Glenn E. Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep is collecting letters at the dealership (2100 E Spring Street, Signal Hill, CA 90755) and giving each letter writer a “Breaking Southern Ground” CD.

“This program is a great way to say ‘thank you’ to our courageous men and women in uniform,” said John Davis, General Manager at G.E.T. “We are excited to offer this program for our community to show its support to the troops.”

The CD features three all-new songs from Zac Brown Band, and music from Sonia Leigh, Nic Cowan and Levi Lowrey. The compilation CD is not sold in stores and is exclusively available at Ram Truck dealerships.

Soldiers’ Angels, a nonprofit organization, will deliver the letters on behalf of Zac Brown Band and the Ram Truck brand. Soldiers’ Angels is a volunteer-led organization with over 225,000 members providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, along with veterans and their families.

As part of the initiative, several short documentary-style videos are being posted on RamTrucks.com with highlights from the Zac Brown Band’s recent trip to the Persian Gulf to perform for the troops.

G.E.T. also shows its support to the troops by offering an additional $500 cash allowance to all qualified enlisted military personnel and veterans toward the purchase of most new 2010 Ram, Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep vehicles.

A Look Inside the Moab Jeep Safari

When somebody mentions the Moab Jeep Safari, I instantly think of three things: noise, crazy off-roading, and fun memories.

Moab, Utah is a mecca for off-road enthusiasts and every year at the Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari the streets rumble with noise as Utah's Red Rock country is invaded with 4x4 vehicles. The site is truly indescribable and must be seen to believe. Although it is called the 'Jeep Safari,' and you will see more Jeeps than anything else, ultimately four-wheel drive is the only qualifier. Every make, model and knock-off can be found here.
The amazing thing about this event is that it attracts people of all types from all over the world. Families, hard-core enthusiasts and people just looking for a good time head to this beautiful terrain called Moab. The Moab Jeep Safari offers more than 50 off-road trails to challenge not only your off-road skills, but also your vehicle. I have had the opportunity to attend this event a few times. What a sight to see! Most of the Jeeps here are modified, but some are just bone stock, or as my brother-in-law calls them, Cheerleader Jeeps, claiming that they are just all for looks.The trails are rated from 1-5, easy to difficult. Some of these trails are absolutely crazy! I am lucky to have an old friend, Calvin, who attends the event annually to give me some close up photos of the 2010 Jeep Safari. Calvin has been working on vehicles since Jr. High. He is truly 'The Man' at the Jeep Safari.

Calvin has custom built his Jeep himself. It is a 1978 CJ-7 with 1ton axles, a custom 4 link rear suspension, and a custom 3 link front suspension with fox coilovers and full hydraulic steering. His wheelbase has been extended to 117 inches for steep climbs and shooting up waterfalls. And it rides on 38.5" tall super swamper tires!

The Moab trails cover some of the most rugged and scenic country you can find. Forest, desert, steep canyon walls and rims, rivers, mountains, and the famous Moab "slick rock" provide for variety and fascinating beauty.

During my visits to Moab, I have seen some of the most incredible and insane things. I distinctly remember one obstacle called 'Potato Salad Hill'. Vehicle after vehicle would attempt to make it up 'Potato Salad Hill' with no luck. Vehicles continually roll off or slide off (except the Dodge Trucks and Jeeps, of course...) yet a line of vehicles still form for more enthusiasts to attempt to beat the challenge. When a vehicle actually successfully made it up the hill, what a thrill to see! If you enjoy off-roading, the Moab Jeep Safari should be added to your list of 'Things of Do'.

If you have any questions, please email me at kori@getdodge.com

IIHS Top Safety Picks

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Names Jeep® Patriot, Chrysler Sebring,
Dodge Avenger and Dodge Journey as Top Safety Picks

We are proud to announce that four of our vehicle models are named Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Picks!

“The IIHS has more stringent testing criteria for the 2010 model year and only 27 vehicle models earned the Top Safety Pick designation,” said G.E.T Internet Sales Manager, Brad Davis. “So, their recognition of our products really underscores Chrysler Group’s engineering capability and safety leadership.”

Four Chrysler Group LLC vehicles have earned 2010 Top Safety Pick status: the 2010 Dodge Journey, the 2010 Chrysler Sebring when equipped with available Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the 2010 Dodge Avenger when equipped with available ESC and the 2010 Jeep® Patriot with available seat mounted air bag. Chrysler Group makes vehicles sold under the Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge Car and Ram Truck brands.

“These Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge models are part of an elite group that afford the best overall crash protection and have electronic stability control, which can help keep drivers out of crashes altogether,” said IIHS President Adrian Lund.

For the 2010 model year, Chrysler Group products comprise almost 15 percent of the total vehicles awarded Top Safety Pick status by the IIHS to automakers. The award recognizes automobiles with ESC that perform well in the Institute's front-impact, side-impact, rear-impact and new for 2010, roof-strength evaluations.

Available safety and security features on these vehicles include ESC with traction control, Brake Assist and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), driver and front-passenger active head restraints, front seat-mounted side airbags and advanced multi-stage front airbags.

The Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge Top Safety Picks all feature new active head restraint system for front-seat occupants. This new system augments the head restraints ability to minimize neck injuries caused by rear-impact accidents. In the event of a rear impact, the head restraints deploy to remove the space between the occupants head and the restraint to help minimize whiplash type injuries.

More information on IIHS Top Safety Picks, including video and photos, is available at www.iihs.org.
