OXNARD LOCAL ROLLS OUT A WINNER
WITH
GUITAR CENTER PROMOTION
— Jose Rodriguez now “Cruisin’ Cali-Style”
in a
vintage 1972 Chevy Impala with JBL custom sound system —
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, November 11, 2005 —
Guitar Center, the leading instrument retailer, has announced Jose Rodriguez
as the winner of its “Cruisin’ Cali-Style” promotion.
As Rodriguez cruises the streets of Oxnard, CA in his vintage 1972 Chevy
Impala with a custom JBL sound system, Guitar Center continues to hook
up its customers with the biggest and best promotions, according to
Jack Sonni, vice president of marketing communication for Guitar Center.
“We’re excited that Jose won the Cruisin’
Cali-Style promotion,” said Sonni. “Giving him the car of
his dreams truly symbolizes what our monthly promotions are all about:
hooking up our customers with unsurpassed prizes geared to their lifestyle
and interests.”
More than a refurbished classic, the Guitar Center Impala
has only 50,000 miles on its original Chevy 350 engine and features
chrome Dayton rims and a hydraulic system with eight switches. The pimped
out ride also includes white tuck and roll leather seats complete with
orange piping, a tangerine pearl customized paint job with sparkle abalone
flake on the hardtop, and a banging JBL sound system.
“I never thought a California classic like the Impala
would be mine,” said the 27-year-old winner. “I’ve
grown up in Southern California my whole life, wishing I had a pimped
out ride. Thanks to Guitar Center, I’m able to represent my West
Coast style wherever I go.”
