Chilson Automotive Group was founded
in 1959 in Osseo Wisconsin. We sold Rambler automobiles. In 1960 we moved to
Eau Claire and expanded our sales territory.
Soon Rambler was acquired by the
Wisconsin based American Motors Company (AMC). With the newly formed entity, we
were able to sell Renault and Jeep automobiles in 1969. With these franchises,
Chilson Inc now had a small fuel-efficient vehicle line as well as a full line
of sport utilities and trucks.
In 1975 the Subaru franchise was
purchased from a local dealer. At
this time Subaru specialized in inexpensive, reliable, fuel-efficient vehicles.
Soon Subaru would offer four-wheel drive sedans and wagons. At the time no
other manufacturer offered any vehicles with the four-wheel drive option in
small fuel-efficient vehicles.
In 1987 Chrysler purchased the
American Motors Corporation. In 1990 we purchased the Suzuki and Isuzu
franchises from a local dealer group.
In January 2004 we purchased our first
Chrysler and Dodge store in Chippewa Falls. In April 2008 we purchase Corner
Motors in Cadott.
Today, the Chilson Family has three
dealerships in the Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls area. Chilson
Subaru in Eau Claire, Chilson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat LLC is
located in Chippewa Falls. Chilson's Corner Motors in Cadott features the full
line of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep Ram and Heavy Duty/Commercial Ram trucks.
All seven siblings are involved with
dealerships. Steve, Lynn, and Jeanne
Work as the management team at the Eau
Claire store. Mark and Kate manage the Chippewa Falls location. Deb and Matt
head up the team in Cadott.

We look forward to working with you and your family. Let our family take care
of your family.
