It's not an ordinary pickup truck, however. The supercharged Roush Performance F-150 XLT includes a 5.0L V-8-powered engine in Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150, enhanced with a host of body components and Roush graphics. The truck also features a custom paint job marking Sherwin-Williams' 150th anniversary.
"We are pleased to award the Swans their new Ford F-150," said Steve Spirko, director of marketing, Associated Products for Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. "We could think of no better way to continue the celebration of Sherwin-Williams' 150th anniversary of service than to give away such an amazing truck."
The high-performance engine and customization is signed by racing legend Jack Roush, also head of ROUSH Industries, Inc., a Tier One supplier of fully integrated engineering and development support services to the worldwide automotive industry.
The year 2016 marked a milestone for Sherwin-Williams as America's #1 paint company honored its 150th anniversary. For a century and a half, Sherwin-Williams has been a groundbreaking pioneer in the coatings industry. Throughout the year, Sherwin-Williams celebrated its 150th anniversary by highlighting the company's long-standing commitment to innovation, color, and community.
While there was no purchase necessary to enter the year-long contest, there were several ways for collision repair professionals to enter by purchasing select 3M repair products from Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes network of almost 200 stores. Swan was selected as the winner by random drawing.
