Clinton, Sept. 29, 2015 – Baum Chevrolet Buick is partnering with Clinton Community YMCA in Clinton as part of the national Chevy Youth Soccer program to provide new equipment, a monetary contribution and an opportunity for community members to earn additional funds for the club via a Test Drive fundraiser.

Baum Chevrolet Buick will present Clinton Community YMCA with soccer kits filled with various items such as equipment bags, pop-up goals, corner flags, soccer balls and Chevy Youth Soccer t-shirts.

In addition, Baum Chevrolet Buick will present a check representing a one-time monetary contribution to Clinton Community YMCA.  Sponsored clubs across the country will have the chance to earn additional funds as community members take test drives at their partnering dealership to help support the league.

Did You Know?!: Vehicle Color Names

When it comes to purchasing or leasing a vehicle, there are several factors or "hot buttons" that influence customers. Features such as heated seats, power windows, towing capacity, and cargo room can make or break a vehicle for certain customers. However, the most difficult decision when it comes to finding the right vehicle may be as simple as picking out the right color.

The August edition of "Did You Know?!" focuses on the various GM (Chevrolet and Buick) vehicle exterior colors that the dealership has had over the past 15 years. Sales and Leasing Consultant, Tim Hoyt, has compiled a list of the numerous shades of blue and red that he has sold over the past few years. Enjoy!
