The auction took place on February 20 during the Leake Car Auction in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and saw the car getting no less than $100,000. As already announced by Chrysler, all the proceeds from the auction will go to the American Red Cross for their Haiti relief efforts.
"Looking at the devastation this catastrophe has caused to an already impoverished country,there is no doubt that we have a social responsibility to assist in any way that we can. This will not be the only funding we will provide to this country on behalf of the Chrysler Brand and Chrysler Group LLC, there is more to come," Olivier Francois says.
In a somehow not very often seen gesture, the carmaker issued a statement over the weekend thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and its president, Phil Berk, for their assistance in getting all those celebrities leaving their signature on the vehicle.
“Without the assistance of the amazing team of people at the HFPA, we alone would not have been able to secure this wonderfully unique and rare collection of signatures of the most talented men and women in the entertainment industry today,”
“Phil Berk, president of the HFPA, personally allowed our vehicle to be a part of the red carpet going above and beyond our expectations. His actions greatly contributed to the success of this auction today.”
