DALLAS – Manheim Dallas will host the sale of two trucks previously owned by the Robertson family of the Duck Dynasty TV show. Proceeds from the 11 a.m. sale on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013 will go to the charities selected by the foundation of McKaig Chevrolet-Buick of Gladewater, Texas, the consignors of the trucks.
“We are excited to offer these two trucks from the Duck Dynasty show,” said Manheim Dallas General Manager David Robertson, no relation to the Robertson family. “It’s a very popular TV show, and we are very glad to partner with McKaig Chevrolet-Buick.”
The 2011 Chevrolet Z71 and the 2010 Chevrolet Z71 trucks were previously owned by Phil Robertson and his son Willie Robertson. The Robertsons originally obtained both trucks through McKaig Chevrolet-Buick.
The Robertson family operates Duck Commander of West Monroe, La., which produces duck hunting products. The family is featured on Duck Dynasty, a reality show in its fourth season that airs on A&E featuring Phil, Willie and many members of their extended families.
