GIVE AWAY
Our giveaway program is something pretty special. For our first year, we purchased a 1953 Ford Customline and delivered it to the Automotive Technology Program's students at Delaware County Intermediate Unit for a tuneup and some love.
When the show is over, we'll use the proceeds from this year's giveaway ticket sales to purchase another vintage car and deliver it to next year's class to restore and get ready to give away at the 2020 Independents show. It's an incredible way to give these kids something cooler to work on than pulling dents out of someone's grandma's Buick. We are excited to see what they do and to watch this program grow.
In addition to the Ford, this year we are giving away a 1971 Harley Davidson Ironhead: rebuilt Morris Mag, Kick only, New old stock MPD sidecover, Aluminum Borrani's front and back, XLR pipes, completely gone over and ready to rip.
Entering the giveaway is easy. All you have to do is order an Independents Show Koozie and your ticket will come tucked inside. You can buy as many Koozie/tickets as you like and your ticket enters you in the drawing to win both the bike and car. FREE SHIPPING TO THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES only.
