More than 1,200 Chrysler "Sebring Says" contestants will prove actions speak louder than words for a chance to win an all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring

  What:     While the Guinness World Record(TM) book is said to be the most
            stolen book at the public library, Chrysler plans to steal the
            world record for the largest game of "Simon Says" at this year's
            Chicago Auto Show. More than 1,200 consumers will be jumping up
            and down, touching their noses and buckling into the all-new
            2007 Chrysler Sebring to break the current Guinness World
            Record(TM), set by a group of 1,169 participants in Glasgow,
            Scotland on April 22, 2006. A "Simon Says" professional, Steve
            Max, will lead the masses and the last contestant standing will
            win an all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring.
