"This year's Black Friday event was the biggest in Art Van Furniture's 53-year history," said Art Van Elslander, Art Van Furniture founder and chairman.

Offering the opportunity to win a new Fiat was incredibly exciting for us.  We're thrilled for Sandy, and hope she enjoys her brand new Fiat and her new sofa for many holidays to come!"
