CAR DETAILER DISCOVERS SERGIO MARCHIONNE’S FACE ON CHRYSLER 300 STOP LIGHT

“IT MUST BE SOME SORT OF SIGN,” SAID SOME GUY WALKING BY

Auto detailer Egdod Trad points to Chrysler 300 stop light lens bearing the face of Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne

A car dealership body shop worker who was applying wax to a Chrysler 300 said seeing the face of Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne staring back at him from the car’s center high-mounted stop light “was almost like a religious experience, but not quite.”

Egdod Trad, assistant wax master at Phoops Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Eagle (they still have one unsold 1996 Eagle Summit in stock) in Shakopee, Minnesota, told reporters he noticed Marchionne’s face as he used a Q-Tip swab to remove dried wax from the chrome emblem on the trunk. “No, wait, it wasn’t a Q-Tip,” he said excitedly, correcting his earlier statement. “It was a generic brand swab, maybe Kirkland or Equate.”

Marchionne was traveling and not available for comment but, according to his secretary, he prefers name-brand cotton swabs.
