The Chrysler-Plymouth "5-Star" rating system's existed as long as I can remember, BM. Went to HS with the Ewald boyz, one of 'em paled around in my circle. Their old man's stealership(s) had the 5-star logo on the signs outside, too.
Never knew WTH [it] meant --at the time-- but it was there, nonetheless.
"The salesman at the Stealership where we bought the PT Cruiser..."
Which was who??
The father-inlaw always did business with HUB, and they survived this culling by zerO & Co. Be interesting looking into their politics, hell, all of 'em and that's why I pinged ya over. There just might be an image once the mosaic's filled in? Let us pray, my friend. ;^)
"...was adamant that I give him a Five Star rating, especially when we got the car $1100.00 under invoice AND he offered us $5000.00 cash to walk away during delivery. I did. I often wonder, would it have been better to walk away & pocket the $5Gs...Well, Duh!"
HA!!
Hindsight man, hindsight.
It'll just kill ya. :o)
"Anyway, they had a Five Star rating at the time. They lost it shorty thereafter. Soon, they weren't selling Chryslers anymore..."
WTH are we speaking of?
"One of the dealers cut is just down the corner from me. I recall them proudly posting their Five Stat status, though that was a while ago."
Brad Schlossmann, right?
Y'know his dad owned the Dodge store in Wauwatosa, Dodge City.
I'd just ETS'd from the military, needed a dependable car so --if you recall-- bought that jet black Dodge Omni 024. Brad was a young pup in late '78, and KnI were his first sale. Now, 30 years later Obama's shutting 'em down. Brad is *very* Jewish; so, wanna bet how ol' Brad voted? I take 'Rat.
Funny, eh?
Karma's such a bitch.

I bookmarked it for future reference just in case.
This "smith" member's doing yeoman's work, might blow the lid clean off if things go as suspected. ;^)
