a lifetime" moments

    AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Chrysler brand
 is announcing the birth of the "Chrysler Sebring Bundle of Joy" contest
 that gives new parents a chance to win an all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring if
 their baby is born at 2:03:04 a.m. on 05/06/07.
     This sequential time and date is novel because it won't occur for
 another hundred years. Chrysler wants to celebrate this history-making
 moment by awarding a family-friendly vehicle to parents who give birth at
 this exact moment in time. In addition to bringing home their new baby, one
 lucky family will also bring home a new 2007 Chrysler Sebring.
     "The Sebring is designed to fit the active lifestyles of families
 nationwide. Whether you are a parent of a newborn, toddler, tween or teen,
 this vehicle can meet the needs of all families," said David Rooney,
 Director - Chrysler Marketing & Global Communications. "We wanted to
 celebrate this moment in time and give the ultimate baby gift that would
 help ease the transition of adding a new member to the family."
     Expectant Sebring Owners-To-Be

 copy of their newborn's birth certificate to Chrysler Sebring Bundle of Joy
 Sweepstakes c/o Centra Marketing & Communications, LLC, 1400 Old Country
 Road - Suite 420, Department 02:03:04 on 05/06/07, Westbury, NY 11590, for

     Having a Sebring Changes Everything
     Between the crying and lack of sleep, being a new parent can definitely
 be a rattling experience. While Chrysler can't take the guesswork out of
 diaper changing and napping, it can help families find the perfect family
 vehicle. Below is a list of car buying tips to keep in mind when purchasing
 a fun, family-centered vehicle, such as the Chrysler Sebring:
     -- Safe and Sound: Safety features are important to keep in mind when
        shopping for a family car. All Chrysler Sebring models come equipped
        with standard advanced multi-stage front air bags, side-curtain air
        bags and front-seat-mounted side air bags as well as standard anti-lock
        brakes, a first in the mid-size car segment. And before bringing baby
        home, parents can have the installation of their child safety seat
        inspected through DaimlerChrysler's SeatCheck program. By visiting
        www.seatcheck.org, parents can connect to the closest child safety seat
        inspection locations in their community.
 
     -- Rock-a-bye baby: Seek vehicles with the latest technology, like the
        Sebring, which has a MyGIG(TM) Multimedia Infotainment System. This
        exclusive feature allows parents to download baby's favorite lullabies
        to a built-in hard drive. Once baby is asleep, parents can indulge
        themselves by tuning into their favorite stations from over 120
        channels of digital-quality cross-country entertainment offered on the
        Sebring through SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
 
     -- Baby-proof the interior: Look for vehicles with static-, stain- and
        odor-resistant seat fabric, like YES Essentials(R) fabric available on
        the Sebring. This will help parents safeguard their car's interior from
        the hard-to-avoid formula and baby food spills.
