There’s nothing unusual about driving a brand new car off the lot, but for one Michigan soldier, picking up her brand new 2012 Camaro 2SS coupe was more than just a new car purchase. The car actually signifies many changes in the soldier’s life and as we found out from the Click on Detroit news cast, those changes didn’t go unnoticed by General Motors.
U.S. Army Captain Dr. Shawn M. Dunn has spent 11 years in the military between the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army. After spending the last several months serving her country overseas, she is getting out of the military and continuing with a career as a port veterinarian for the United States Department of Agriculture in Detroit, Michigan. Before going into the military, Dunn worked as a USDA veterinarian for 6 years.
After discussing her plans to buy a new car when her service was over with her fellow soldiers, Dunn decided on a brand new Camaro. While still overseas, Dunn contacted Les Standford Chevrolet in Dearborn, Michigan to make her dream come true.
While corresponding with the Chevrolet dealership, Dunn opted for a 2012 Camaro 2SS coupe finished in black with a leather interior detailed in Inferno Orange. She also added the RS package to the car, giving her new ride 20-inch aluminum wheels painted in Midnight Silver, special integrated LED headlamps and a body-colored antenna and roof molding.
Since Dunn was an active service member at the time of her purchase, she received GM’s military discount. GM gives discounts to all service men and women, whether they’re active, retired or in the reserves as a special thanks for their service to the country.
Eligible service members are entitled to a special MSRP discount on most 2011 and 2012 GM vehicles.
But the military discount wasn’t all that Dunn received when she picked up her car last week. She also got a personal thank you from GM’s U.S. Vice President of Product and Pricing, Rick Scheidt, as well as a special Honor Badge for her car for her service in the military.
It is great to see a well deserving soldier get her dream car. To watch the news cast interview with Dunn and her brand new Camaro, be sure to check out Click on Detroit’s website. To those of you who have served in the military, thank you for your service.
