One of MADA’s most dedicated and loyal dealers, Butch Oustalet, received an award from the NADA PAC for being a member of the President’s Club for 25 years. President of MADA, Marty Milstead, presented the hand-painted bowl with the U.S. Capitol painted on the inside to Oustalet at his Ford and Lincoln store in Gulfport. “It was an honor to present the award on behalf of NADA PAC. There is not an automobile dealer in the state that has given more of their time and resources to our industry over the past 25 years than Butch,” said Milstead.

Oustalet is the owner of Butch Oustalet Ford – Lincoln and Butch Oustalet Mazda.

Dealers that contribute $5,000 to the NADA PAC and then $2,500 in the following years are recognized for President Club membership.

The NADA PAC is a Political Action Committee sponsored by NADA. NADA PAC raises funds from NADA members and contributes them to candidates for the U.S. House and Senate.

The Oustalet family came to the Mississippi Coast in 1959 when Bubba Oustalet, Butch’s dad, opened a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership. Oustalet bought the dealership from his dad in 1984 and believes in giving back to the only industry he has ever known and equally to his community. People on the Gulf Coast know Oustalet for his generosity. He served as Chairman of the Heart Walk in 2017. Oustalet is the former NADA Director for Mississippi and served as Chairman of the Board for MADA in 1991. He also served as Chairman of the MADA Self-Insurers Fund. In 2001, Oustalet was chosen as the Mississippi Time Dealer of the Year.
