General Motors thanks five loyal global customers with free new vehicles

General Motors (GM) CEO Mary Barra and GM leaders from around the globe thanked five loyal customers over the course of 48 hours by surprising each of them with a free vehicle.

The events celebrated the global production of 500-million GM-branded vehicles
and recognized customers who experienced milestones in their GM vehicles. The customers are:
> Trent Brining, a U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who received an all-new 2016 Chevrolet Malibu at GM's Fairfax Assembly plant. The Malibu will be built there later this year
> Supot Khwankoom, a farmer from Thailand who saved to purchase his family's first vehicle, received a Chevrolet Colorado
> Anna Katharina Dionysius, whose Opel Astra was totaled in a collision, received a Zafira Tourer fresh off the line. She calls the designers and engineers of her Astra her 'heroes'
> Da Shuo, an entrepreneur from China known for his 'Purple Bullet' - a peach and purple-painted Chevrolet Cruze that inspired his customization business. His personalized fleet will expand with the addition of a new Chevrolet Trax
> Amandio Palhares and Joselle Pinheiro, avid travelers from Brazil who traveled nine months in their Chevrolet truck across 16 countries from Brazil to Alaska. They received a Chevrolet Cruze to inspire another cross-continent journey
