ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A Lee County teenager got a brand new Chevy Camaro, just in time for his 19th birthday thanks to a nationwide contest. The Men's Warehouse was running a Prom-Prep contest all over the U.S.
Andrew Bacon rented his tuxedo for prom at the Albany location and entered to win the car.
Bacon won, and picked out this Chevy Camero SS at Prince Chevrolet. It's imperial blue metallic with a V-8 engine.

lucky kid, i bet he's the ONLY person with an chevrolet camero that looks IDENTICAL to an chevrolet camaro. lol. i would be estatic to win an car, even more when i find out its an camaro, plus an new one, and an SS!

So did he drive it on prom night or did he get the car after?

wow, that's awesome.

lucky dude. I want his last name

Wow, lucky kid! Personally I'd have a few reservations about letting my 19 y/o drive off with a free SS. I reckon every situation is different & I'm not implying every 19 y/o is reckless or irresponsible but I'm from the school where you learn to appreciate things more when you actually have to work & earn them rather than have them handed to you. Yes the car is rightfully his since he entered the contest & won, but it would come with some strict rules as well. Just my .02

Holy Crap! Why doesn't stuff like this happen to me? I don't think I could even get into a Prom...
