FRISCO, Texas, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoNation,
Inc. (NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, today
announced that it will celebrate the sale of its 10 millionth
vehicle by giving away a 2015 Ford Transit in Frisco, Texas.
"We could think of no better way to celebrate the
industry-leading feat of selling our 10 millionth vehicle than by
thanking those who made it possible, our customers," said
AutoNation Chairman, CEO and President, Mike Jackson. "We are pleased to be able
to give away a vehicle in each of our three regions and look
forward to continuing to provide a peerless customer
experience."
The Central Region winners are Kat and Thomas Marr, parents of a large, multi-cultural
adoptive family. The Marrs have been married for 21 years and
have 11 children, nine of which have special needs. Mr. Marr
is a former member of the United States Army having served for six
and half years. He currently works in telecommunications for
Ericsson, and Mrs. Marr is a homeschool teacher. The Marr family
has faced many challenges over the years including a recent total
loss of their current van which brought them in to AutoNation Ford
Frisco for a replacement vehicle.
In connection with the multi-vehicle giveaway, AutoNation also
announced a sweepstakes in which the grand prize winner will be
given a 1 in 100 chance at winning $10
million. The grand prize winner will win a new Honda Accord
should they not win the $10 million
drawing. In addition, the grand prize winner and a select group of
peer-nominated AutoNation associates will receive an
all-expenses-paid trip to Sonoma,
California to be a part of the 2015 GoPro Grand Prix of
Sonoma. The online entry site and
official rules for the sweepstakes can be found at
