DEARBORN, Mich., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Weissensee of the Sacramento, Calif., suburb of Carmichael, was one of 10 finalists in the 2007 Ford Customer Service Division "When It Fits You Win!" national sweepstakes. It became his lucky day when his key started the grand prize vehicle, a 2008 F-150 Foose Edition Truck, at Homestead-Miami Speedway this past November.

Weissensee's luck becomes a reality at 10:30 am on June 26th when he receives the keys to his new Foose at Downtown Ford, 525 North 16th Street in Sacramento. The 2008 Ford F-150 Foose Edition was designed by Chip Foose, star of TV's "Overhaulin".
