DETROIT (AP) - Chrysler says its sales rose 17 percent in November as the company joined General Motors and Ford in reporting big increases. The automaker says it's the eighth straight month of year-over-year sales increases.
Chrysler says the increase was driven by the Jeep and Ram brands. The redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle continued a string of huge sales increases, more than tripling from November last year.
Chrysler also says the Ram truck brand had a 67 percent sales increase.
The company sold just over 74,000 vehicles last month, compared with nearly 64,000 in November of last year.
