[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Fans of Earnhardt Auto Centers — you will soon be able to sport your own “No Bull” merchandise!
If you’ve lived in Arizona or the Southwest for any length of time, you’re no doubt familiar with Earnhardt Auto Centers. Their “No Bull” slogan demonstrates their approach to selling new and used vehicles. Soon, the “No Bull” logo, made famous by founder Tex Earnhardt, will be available on T-shirts and hats. Show your “No Bull” pride!
Earnhardt Auto Centers founder Tex Earnhardt grew up in southern Texas and started his career as a professional rodeo cowboy. In 1951, at age 20, Tex joined the rest of his family in a move to Arizona. Tex opened a gas station in Chandler and sold auto parts before he opened a Ford dealership. According to the Earnhardt website, Tex literally started his business one car at a time. He could only afford to stock one car, and didn’t acquire another car to display until the first one sold.
Over the years, Tex’s persona became widely known in the Valley along with his trademark advertising slogan, “That ain’t no bull.” This was ultimate truth in advertising because the “bull” he rode in the commercials was a steer.
From these modest beginnings, Earnhardt Auto Centers grew into one of the largest auto enterprises in the Southwest, offering multiple vehicle makes and models. Earnhardt now has 22 locations, including several in the Valley, two in Prescott Valley and two in Las Vegas. These dealerships represent Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Ram, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

Tex’s sons and several of his grandchildren later joined him in the business. Tex and his family credit their success to good managers and hard-working employees. According to the Earnhardt website, Tex also instructs his team to “treat everyone the way you would treat your mama!”
Keep your eyes out soon for “No Bull” gear, to be available online and at Earnhardt Auto Centers dealerships. And show your “No Bull” pride![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Biography:

Carolyn Sostrom is a long-time Arizona resident who loves desert sunsets, warm weather, Zumba, and the Western lifestyle.

She attended Saguaro High School in Scottsdale and then Arizona State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Similarly to the protagonist in *The Devil Wears Prada*, Carolyn moved to New York City right after college. She started working for the fashion magazine company Conde Nast but never transitioned to the dark side. After a few years, she left New York in the rearview mirror and returned to her home state, taking a reporter job at the *Apache Junction Independent*.

With over 30 years of freelance writing experience, Carolyn especially enjoys writing about community events and profiling individuals who are making a difference in their communities. She had the pleasure of interviewing a variety of cowboy personalities for an article she wrote for the *Scottsdale Independent* about the history of DC Ranch and its roots as a working ranch. Now, her Western adventures with CLN have her diving into the rugged automotive scene, exploring the trucks and rigs cowboys rely on for work, home, and play, a niche where grit meets horsepower.

She works at Raising Special Kids, a nonprofit resource center for families of children with disabilities and special healthcare needs. Carolyn also volunteers with the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix.

Carolyn believes that everyone has a story, and she loves connecting with others to hear their stories. She’s dedicated to ethical journalism and accurate reporting, which shines through in her storytelling.
