Good Find but WTF is this?
You have to drop it off in person and use an original newspaper form? That sucks. I guess they really want to keep it local!
I’m gonna drive down there and enter! Its only a couple hours away.
Oh and since they say it’s gonna be the first Cobalt produced, its gonna be a 4dr. But hey I’ll take a free car
Completed entry forms must be dropped off at Whiteside's on National Road in St. Clairsville by Nov. 29.
Only original entry forms printed in the newspaper will be accepted, and you may enter as many times as you like. There is no purchase necessary. Free entry forms will be available at The Times Leader, 200 S. Fourth St., Martins Ferry. There will be a limit of one free entry form per family.

Belmont County entry will win first Cobalt
By ERIC AYRES, St. Clairsville Bureau Chief
LADY LUCK worked her magic this past week for someone in Belmont County, and as a result, an unbeatable holiday surprise will be arriving just before Christmas.
Earlier this fall, Ogden Newspapers Inc. announced details of a 2005 Chevy Cobalt giveaway through its Warren, Ohio-based newspaper The Tribune Chronicle. The contest to win the first Cobalt sedan delivered for retail sale at GM's assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, was opened to readers in 33 of Ogden Newspaper's markets across the country.
A drawing was held Thursday in Warren, and out of more than 50,000 entries received, the winning submission just happened to come from an entry form printed in The Times Leader. The
winning entry was submitted to Whiteside Chevrolet Buick Pontiac Cadillac in St. Clairsville sometime in October or November.
"The response from all the markets was overwhelming," said Charles R. Jarvis, publisher of The Tribune Chronicle. "It's a shame we didn't have 33 cars to give away, but we congratulate The Times Leader and Whiteside Chevrolet on attracting the winning entry."
On Thursday, entry forms from all the participating newspaper markets were crammed into the trunk of the Cobalt on display at Diane Sauer Chevrolet in Warren. Certified public accountant H. Scott Masters of the accounting firm of Berkman, Jorgensen, Masters and Stafmann, LLC, in Warren consulted for and observed the drawing.
The lucky contestant will be notified after the new vehicle arrives locally, and an official announcement will be made the weekend before Christmas.
In October, the first 2005 Chevy Cobalts began rolling off the assembly lines in Lordstown. Chevrolet has discontinued production of its popular Cavalier model cars.
After this current model year, the Cavalier class is being replaced by the Cobalt and the Aveo.
Back in 1965, The Tribune Chronicle purchased the first vehicle ever made at the GM plant in Lordstown. That history gave the newspaper an inside track on buying the first Cobalt built for sale.
Total cost of the vehicle was just under $20,000. The car has leather seats, XM Radio, CD changer, sun roof, chrome wheels and many other options.
While the new Aveo models are described as versatile economy cars with several different options, the Cobalts offer a new option for a more sporty or "up-scale" class of affordable Chevy sedans and coupes.
The new Cobalt models - which also include an SS Supercharged coupe - are geared toward customers who prefer a smaller car, but also want comfort and more luxury features, such as heated leather seats, titanium-faced gauges, optional sport packages and sound systems with OnStar, XM Satellite radio and MP3 player options.
Since the Lordstown plant is so vital to the economy in the area served by The Tribune Chronicle, the newspaper decided to offer the car giveaway in all markets served by its sister papers.
The move resulted in hundreds of ads being published promoting the new Cobalt, and locally, a total of 9,649 entry forms were submitted by area readers.
"I'm delighted that the Cobalt winner came from our family of readers here in Belmont County," said Alex Marshall, publisher of The Times Leader. "We look forward to announcing the winner the weekend before Christmas."
In addition to The Times Leader and Tribune Chronicle market areas, communities participating in the Cobalt giveaway included Cape Coral, Fla.; Webster City, Fort Dodge, Marshalltown and Tama, Iowa; Alpena and Marquette, Mich.; Fairmont, Marshall and New Ulm, Minn.; Minot, N.D.; Jamestown, Dunkirk, Saranac Lake and Gloversville, N.Y.; Tiffin, Steubenville, Boardman, East Liverpool, Salem, Lisbon and Marietta, Ohio; Williamsport, Warren, Lock Haven, Lewistown and Altoona, Pa.; and Parkersburg, Elkins, Martinsburg and Wheeling.
