Ford to Alabama dealership: No Bible, flag, gun deals
An Alabama Ford dealer ran afoul of corporate with its Fourth of July promotion. So it stopped talking about the free shotgun included in the package deal.
The original promotion that Chatom Ford in Chatom, about an hour north of Mobile, offered customers was a free King James Bible, an American flag and a 12-gauge shotgun with the purchase of a vehicle.
The dealership originally partnered with a local Chatom dealer, Andrews Ace Hardware and Seed Store, and the Athletic Locker in Waynesboro, Mississippi, for the giveaway. When participants in the deal bought a vehicle, they were handed a gift certificate to redeem at either of the stores to get their firearm, after going through required background checks, depending on which state they live in (the Bible and flag were handled by the dealership).
