Louisiana apparently escaped cutbacks at General Motors without the complete loss of any one dealership. Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association head Bob Israel says some small dealers that handle multiple GM lines are being cut out in the future from selling Cadillacs. At the same time, all dealers handling Pontiacs also face GM ending that brand. Israel says Pontiacs are handled through multi-brand dealers. Israel did not identify specific dealers affected. GM is cutting its dealer network nationwide as part of its bankruptcy reorganization. The company is leaving it up to each dealer to announce its status. Chrysler ended its relationship with 17 Louisiana dealers when it filed earlier for bankruptcy. For a list of those dealers, click here.
