LKQ Launches 2012 Car Calendar Contest

LKQ Corporation invites all car enthusiasts to show off their best and brightest work by submitting an entry into the LKQ 2012 Car Calendar Contest. Thirteen winners will have their classic, custom, or project car or truck featured in our 2012 Car Calendar.

During the contest, LKQ says it will be highlighting its accessory lines for both classic and late model applications. Look for special offers on Goodmark Classic Car & Truck Parts and LKQ’s ProEFX line of bolt-on products.

The calendars themselves will feature over $250 worth of exclusive coupons, great photos and information about the vehicles. Request a free copy of the 2012 Car Calendar by emailing [email protected] before Oct. 1.

To enter, submit a photo of your car or truck between June 15 and Sept. 1, 2011. Between Sept. 5 and 25, anyone can visit the LKQ website to vote for their favorites. Find LKQ on Facebook or Flickr to view last year’s winners, which include everything from a 1931 Willys-Knight Coupe to a 1970 Pontiac Firebird.

This year’s winners will receive a spot in the 2012 LKQ Car Calendar plus a copy of the calendar, a framed 24×36-inch poster of his or her winning entry, a professional car care kit from Keystone’s Platinum Refinish Detail Series (a $50 value), a full-color Goodmark catalog, and a $100 Goodmark gift certificate. The grand prize winner will be featured on the cover and will also win an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2011 SEMA show in Las Vegas.
