Young job hunter wins first car in Detroit News Ford Fusion contest

Detroit ? Job hunting has just gotten a lot easier for Faith Sheldon of Grosse Pointe Farms.

The 19-year-old has her first set of wheels as the winner of The Detroit News DADA 2013 Ford Fusion Lease Giveaway.

"I was thrilled," Sheldon said at an award ceremony Wednesday. "I'm looking for a job right now. It's helpful to tell people you can get places. You don't have to worry about a ride."

Sheldon will pick up her new ride Thursday at Village Ford in Dearborn, a co-sponsor in the giveaway of a two-year lease. She said she's happy she no longer has to share vehicles with the three other drivers in her family.

"There's been some conflict of, is my dad going to get home in time for me to take the car," she said. "It's gotten down to the minute."

The Ford Fusion Lease Giveaway ran from Dec. 13 to Jan. 22, via The Detroit News Facebook page. Sheldon was notified she won Jan. 23, said Jamie Rocz from the Detroit Media Partnership marketing team.

Last year, The News gave away a Chevy Sonic during the North American International Auto Show.
