Merced's Madeline Wall, 88, an Austrian immigrant who has worked at the same Volkswagen dealership for 50 years, is a finalist in Mitchum's "Hardest Working Person in America" contest.


According to a press release from Mitchum, a deodorant company, Wall is one of 10 finalists who could win $100,000 and become the subject of a short film by Albert Maysles.


Wall was recently honored by Volkswagen for her 50 years of service. She worked full-time while raising three children, the press release said.
