SEMA 2011 Photo Highlights

Now that's a mustache.

I spent a few days at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this past week. It gives me a chance to meet customers, suppliers and interesting people who all share a passion for automobiles. California Car Cover has been into the car care industry since 1989, so we have a lot of customers at SEMA that have been with us since day 1. There was a lot to see and here are just some of my photos.

This Cadillac was very nice. It was built by Kindig-It Design out of Utah. We made a custom California Car Cover for this vehicle as it was unveiled at the SEMA show. It was built for Apolo Anton Ohno, who was the guest speaker at SEMA on Tuesday morning. Below are photos from the unveiling courtesy of Kindig-It Design.

Ford Proving Ground. The Cobra demonstration was nice, though I think my Ford Flex and I could really show people what the EcoBoost can do.

We also made a California Car Cover for the Ringbrothers 1970 Chevy Camaro that was unveiled at SEMA. It was displayed at the BASF booth. The vehicle attracted quite a bit of attention. Video of the unveiling can be seen here and is on our Flickr page too.

Mopar Fall Fling and Pomona Swap Meet

I had another double show weekend that included the CPW Fall Fling and Pomona Swap Meet. Here are some photo highlights from the events.
Chrysler Performance West puts on a pair of great events for Mopar enthusiasts each year. The Fall Fling is a show and shine event with a nice swap meet for people to pick up hard to find Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth parts. It was the first time that California Car Cover and I set up at the show and I had a good time.




I did not have a lot of time to check out all the classics in the car show, but I did take a quick lap and snapped some photos of the cars.




There were plenty of Dodge and Plymouth vehicles from the 1940s up until today, with a large group of new Dodge Challenger owners on hand.






The show attracted all sorts of classic Mopars, from wagons to muscle cars and vans to customs.











Once the sun came out, a lot of people showed up at Woodley Park. There were hundreds of cars to check out and plenty of shade.



The next morning it was off to the Pomona Swap Meet. California Car Cover has exhibited here for well over twenty years. It is a great chance to talk to long time customers and sell some car covers.
The show was pretty busy so I did not have many chances to take photos, but I took these photos in the For Sale section near our booth.
