A Car a Month. All of 2026.

In 2026, the Barry McFarland Auto Group is giving away one car every single month.

  • img Not once.
  • img Not once a year.
  • img Every month, for the entire year.

That means 12 different winners and 12 opportunities for someone in our community to drive home with a vehicle that can truly change their year.

Real Cars. Real Commitment.

Let’s make this clear upfront:

  • img These are not clunkers.
  • img These are not throwaway vehicles.
  • img  These are cars we would normally sell.

Each vehicle:

  • img  Has a retail value of up to approximately $15,000–$20,000
  • img  Goes through a full service inspection before being given away
  • img  Is selected to be reliable and practical for real life

The vehicle changes every month—and you can see the exact car on display before the drawing.
