Umpire’s Bad Call Reaps Benefits for GM

Because the Tigers player was robbed of a perfect game due to a poor umpire call weeks back, GM gifted Armando Galarraga with a brand new 2010 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

Yes, the gifted vehicle did cost a heavy penny at $53,000. However, the nationwide publicity that Galarraga received about the poor call and GM’s sincere donated gift doesn’t even compare. We’re talking $9 million worth of media coverage!!

Ann Arbor’s Joyce Julius & Associates evaluated this significant amount, which included coverage in:

  • 714 television programs
  • 151,000 print publication and website entries

GM was smart to take advantage of this unique yet completely unrelated sporting event. On behalf of Matick Chevrolet, kudos to GM!

Imagine seeing this baby roll down the street…

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept brought quite a stir of conversation when it was first debuted at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show – and now a variant of it was turning heads in Beverly Hills, California.

Could this be the making of something beautiful… on the Hollywood screen? Maybe a Transformers #3. Maybe not.

This ride goes back to basics with different styled wheels, a new front end and traditional headlights. Don’t blink. Just remember its look, you very well could be seeing this baby in movie theaters near you sooner than later.
