FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Aug. 10 -- Chrysler Financial, a business unit of DaimlerChrysler Services North America, joins forces with the Motor City Blight Busters by donating a Dodge Sprinter van to revitalize Detroit neighborhoods.

The van is wrapped in a mural by local artist and Blight Buster member Chazz Miller and reflects the creative, positive energy the group contributes to communities within Metropolitan Detroit.
