REMINDER/ The Melrose Hotel, New York to Distribute Limited-Edition Melrose Model T-Bird Cars; One Lucky Person Will Drive Away With "The Real Thing"

    --

    On June 1, the Barbizon Hotel officially transitioned to The Melrose Hotel, New York.
    As part of a summer celebration, The Melrose Hotel, New York is holding a sweepstakes with the Grand Prize being a one-year lease to a 2002 Ford Thunderbird.
    To drive home the fact that The Melrose Hotel Company has made a classic hotel even better, hotel representatives will be handing out a model of a classic American icon: the vintage 1956 Ford Thunderbird convertible, white with black interior and the blue Melrose Hotel Company logo on the trunk.
    For one day, Friday, June 21, 5,000 Acela weekend travelers and commuters will receive their very own limited-edition Melrose Hotel Thunderbird.
    "We believe that the Thunderbird sweepstakes and giveaway are a great way to inform people as to what we have done at The Melrose Hotel, New York," said John J. DePaul, president and chief executive officer of the Melrose Hotel Company. "Although only one lucky winner will drive away with the real thing, hundreds will get their very own commemorative piece of the fun."
    The Grand Prize winner will drive away in the 2002 Ford Thunderbird. One hundred second place winners will receive free room upgrades for a year, based on availability at check-in, to be used at any of the three Melrose Hotel properties.
    Fifty third place winners will receive free weekend stays, based on availability, which will include breakfast, at any of the Melrose Hotel properties. The official sweepstakes runs through 1:59 p.m. on Friday, August 30. The winner of the one-year lease will be announced at 2:00 p.m. that same day. Contestants can enter by visiting www.melrosehotel.com.
