Andrew Bacon wins a 2011 Chevy Camaro in a national competition

ALBANY, GA. -- Andrew Bacon won a 2011 Chevy Camaro through a Men’s Warehouse Prom Tuxedo Promotion and Contest the day before his 19th birthday.

Bacon convinced ten friends to rent a tuxedo from Men’s Warehouse which earned him a free tuxedo and an entry into the contest.

More than 1,000 Men’s Warehouses across the country participated in the first ever collaboration with Chevy.

Bacon says this is the best birthday gift he’s ever received.  “I’m so excited!  I don’t think you can beat this at all.  I love my new car” says Bacon.  Bacon picked up his car with friends and family from Prince Chevrolet in Albany.

Bacon walked away from a car accident in February that totaled his car.

The Darton freshman says he can’t wait to take road trips to visit friends at other schools.
