Our Top Custom Cars and Hot Rods from SEMA Show 2016

Last week thousands of auto enthusiasts descended on Las Vegas for the annual SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This industry event attracts the best builders and customizers in the automotive aftermarket. The California Car Cover Crew attends the show each year looking for for new products to bring our customers. Here are some of the great vehicles we saw at SEMA 2016. 

One of the first debuts we saw at the SEMA Show was this beautiful Ford F Series built by our friends at Kindig-It Design.

A big crowd gathered for the unveiling of the 50/50 1969 Chevrolet Camaro built by PCH Rods. 

The Ringbrothers debuts always attract a huge crowd and this year was no different. Everyone was interested in seeing their Madame V 1948 Cadillac and G-Code 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

A cool unveiling to be part of was the 1958 Chevy from American Graffiti that was recently restored. The crew at Ray Evernham Enterprises restored the '58 Chevy to period correct styling from the movie. A large unveiling was held at the Axalta finishes booth.

Our friends at Timeless Kustoms showed off their craftsmanship with an impressive custom build. The Fastback Mustang, dubbed the Vicious Stang, featured custom body work and a 1,000 hp engine to boot. 

Thank you to all of the great builders to letting us be part of some amazing projects and unveilings. Most of the week was spent with customers, but here are some cool photos and vehicles we saw while in Las Vegas.

The crew at Sic Chops put together a custom Blazer. The team started with a 1960's Chevrolet Suburban and shortened the length and chopped the roof to create a custom Blazer that General Motors definitely didn't produce. 

Our friends at Dave's Garage in Simi Valley, Ca displayed their new Tonka work truck with a flat bed.

Tucci Hot Rods garnered a lot of attention in the Ford Booth with their wide body Ford Fiesta.

Custom Cars and Hot Rods at the 2014 SEMA Show

Last week was the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. The SEMA Show is the ultimate car show and trade event for automotive enthusiasts. From exotic cars to hot rods, there is something for every gearhead at the SEMA Show. 1,000s of vendors and 1,000s of spectators take over the Las Vegas Convention Center for four days.

The first day of the SEMA Show is all about vehicle debuts for California Car Cover and me. This year we had a number of customers unveiling vehicles at this year's show. I know everyone was excited to see the latest builds from Pure Vision, Ringbrothers, and many others, but I always love to see our custom fit covers on this cars.

Our friends at CW Restoration Shop unveiling a 1968 Ford Mustang first thing on Tuesday morning.

Kelly and Son built a custom 1970 Chevy Camaro that was also unveiled on Tuesday morning.

 For the past few years, California Car Cover has been working with Steve Strope and the crew at Pure Vision. We are always impressed with the vehicles that this company produces each year. Their Ford Fairlane attracted a lot of attention all week and also won the Ford Design Award at the SEMA Show.

One of the largest debuts at each SEMA Show is the always at the Royal Purple booth with Ringbrothers. The Recoil Chevelle was unveiled on Tuesday afternoon to a large crowd at the booth.

Carlson Hot Rods unveiled another vehicle at the NAPA booth again this year. This time around they debuted a custom 1966 Ford Mustang.

Another great looking Ford Bronco from our friends at ICON.

This Ford pickup from OTG Designs was one of the coolest trucks at the show.

Our friends at Goolsby Customs built this clean '32.

The crew at Kindig-It built a few cars on display at the SEMA Show including this custom Dodge Sedan.

The Ford booth always has a large crowd and a ton of custom cars. With the new 2015 Ford Mustang and F-150s generating a lot of interest, there were plenty custom models at the SEMA Show.

Nice Chevelle in the Car Crazy area.

Another impressive restoration from the Kindig-It crew.

Cool BMW station wagon with a BMW motorcycle.

The pavilion in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center is always packed with tons of custom cars. You can see from the photos that their were plenty of European cars, lowriders, muscle cars and more.

Nice Land Rover restoration done by the crew at Galpin Auto Sports.

The shaggin' Scion! This Scion was a throwback to the 70's short vans with shag carpet trim, round windows and an 8-track player.

Just one of the three halls at LVCC packed with people and vendors.

Some of the hardware that the Ringbrothers picked up while at the SEMA Show.

 The Ford Out Front test track is a popular destination all week. People line up first thing in the morning to side up to ride shotgun with a professional driver in a Ford Mustang or Ford F-150. Lucky riders get to do donuts and burnouts along side a pro. 

The SEMA Show was a four day event, but it seemingly flew by. We had a great week meeting with customers and looking for new products. Check back in a few weeks for more event coverage from the final few cars events of the year courtesy of California Car Cover.
