Two Iconic Concept Vehicle Models Temporarily Join the Walter P. Chrysler
Museum's Exhibitions

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Walter P. Chrysler Museum is
temporarily spotlighting two of Chrysler Group LLC's most iconic concept
vehicle models - the Dodge Tomahawk and two Chrysler ME Four-Twelves. All
three are on exhibit through Sunday, July 26 at the Museum, in Auburn Hills,
Mich.

Roaring into public view at the 2003 North American International Auto Show
(NAIAS), the Tomahawk represents a whole new type of invention. The
four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle combines art-deco styling with extreme
engineering. The Tomahawk's sleek, rolling lines illustrate what creative
minds can do when given the opportunity to run free.

The Viper-powered work of art features a 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine and
dual rear wheels to give the radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly
400 miles per hour.

The ME Four-Twelve debuted at NAIAS to great fanfare the following year,
making as much an engineering as a design statement. The Museum is exhibiting
the flat black painted model that withstood extensive performance testing
along with the silver exterior show car that toured the country.

The quad-turbo, V-12 powered, mid-engine super car with rear-wheel drive - the
most advanced Chrysler had built to date - was remarkably completed in less
than one year from start to finish. The two-seater features a carbon fiber
body with a "chiseled all from one piece" look. All body openings are
optimized to achieve maximum thermal performance. The heart of the ME
Four-Twelve is its all-aluminum, quad-turbo, 6.0-liter V-12 engine.

The Dodge Tomahawk and Chrysler ME Four-Twelve join two celebrated Jeep(R)
vehicles also on temporary exhibit at the Museum through July 26: the Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon featured in Paramount Pictures', Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The
Cradle of Life and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that co-starred in the
Paramount release, Sahara.

The specialty vehicles are available for after hours viewing during the
Museum's fourth annual Cruise Nights summer series on Thursday, June 25 and
July 9 and 23. Visitors can tour the Museum from 6 - 9 p.m. on these evenings
at the reduced rate of $1 for children 6 - 12 and $2 for adults.

The Museum is located at the corner of Featherstone and Squirrel Rds., in
Auburn Hills, at the southeast corner of the Chrysler complex, located at exit
78 off I-75.

The Museum is open 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday and noon - 5 p.m.
Sunday. Regular admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and $4 for children
ages 6 - 12. Children five and under are admitted free.
