BROKEN BOW, Neb. (AP) - A General Motors official says the company now realizes it made a mistake when it ordered some dealerships closed earlier this year.

A spokeswoman says it's now reversed that decision for dozens of dealerships.

She says GM erred when analyzing the finances on about 50 dealerships. She says it also had to reconsider the distances between some dealers.

But some GM dealers note the decision came after letter-writing campaigns, as well as the lobbying of local officials.

As for Chrysler, not one decision to cut nearly 800 franchises has been reversed, because the closures were a result of bankruptcy proceedings.
