Today, Chris Reeves joins Paul and Kyle to share how the Jeff Wyler Auto Group gave away a car to a homeless veteran.
The Jeff Wyler Automotive Family rolled out the red carpet for 34-year-old veteran Theron Bell, surprising him with a brand-new 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X Edition. Bell, who served in Afghanistan from 2011–2012 and lives with PTSD, had no reliable transportation before Friday.
Chosen from five candidates, Bell was stunned: “I feel like I’m in Hollywood. I feel like I’m dreaming. Like it’s The Price Is Right.”
The Frontier came loaded — lifted wheels, roof racks, even a tent kit — plus three years of paid maintenance, one year of insurance, and a full year of fuel. The gift was co-sponsored by Kentucky Wounded Heroes, continuing a Wyler tradition that began two years ago when another veteran received a Toyota 4Runner.
Bell’s message back to veterans: “Never give up. If you don’t quit, you’ll make it.”
