Volo Auto Museum Turbocharges Classic Car Sales ... With iWon.com
    VOLO, Ill., Sept. 6 Renowned muscle car and collector car
marketplace Volo Auto Museum and destination portal iWon.com have teamed up
this summer on a unique internet-driven Classic Car Sweepstakes.  This
first-of-a-kind iWon promotion, the "Summer Classic Car Sweepstakes" has been
running continuously through July and August.  It marks iWon's first-ever
classic car themed sweepstakes.  Volo Auto Museum was chosen as iWon's partner
for the sweepstakes after a nationwide search of respected collector car
dealers and auto museums.
    "We could not be happier to work with Volo Auto Museum and the Grams
family on this first-ever iWon sweepstakes event," said Mike Newman, iWon's
Vice President-Integrated Partnerships.  "We were truly impressed with
volocars.com when we explored their colorful showroom website on the Internet
last December.  We also know them to be the recognized marketplace leader in
supplying pristine muscle cars and classics to auto connoisseurs everywhere."
    As iWon's promotional partner, Volo Auto Museum has provided four
beautifully prepared cars for the iWon Classic Car Sweepstakes.  In
mid-September, one lucky iWon sweepstakes winner will choose between one of
four cars provided by Volo: a 1980 Chevrolet Corvette, 1965 Ford Mustang
convertible, 1959 Ford Classic Thunderbird convertible, or Model A Ford.  iWon
selected these popular classics from an inventory of over 300 cars available
for sale at Volo Auto Museum.
    "We are so proud to be affiliated with iWon.com for this Summer Classic
Car Sweepstakes," said Greg Grams, President of Volo Auto Museum.  "We have
had 500,000-700,000 hits per day on volocars.com and dozens of sales inquiries
since the iWon sweepstakes was launched in July," he added.  "My sons
discovered the value of showcasing our cars on the Internet several years ago
when we built our first website.  Our sales immediately skyrocketed.  We
opened as a family business in 1960 and have always been known for having the
best collector and celebrity cars.  The Internet and iWon have now taken us to
a whole new level of exposure."
