DaimlerChrysler Canada challenges Canada's youth to "Design That Cool Car"

DaimlerChrysler Canada today announced the nationwide launch of the "Start Your Engine! Design That Cool Car" drawing contest, for children aged 13 and under. The contest will run on www.Canadianparents.com between now and December 2002 with winning drawings being showcased at the Toronto International Auto Show in February 2003. "At DaimlerChrysler Canada, it is vitally important to encourage Canada's young minds to explore their creative abilities," says Ed Brust, Chairman, President and CEO of DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. "In addition to providing them with an artistic outlet, we want to draw their attention to the excellent career options open to them in automotive design, especially since the automotive industry generates 1 in 7 of Canada's jobs."
