Our Favorite Vehicles from the 2015 SEMA Show

140,000 of our closest friends all descended on Las Vegas for the annual SEMA Show last week. The California Car Cover Crew was on hand to find new products and meet new customers. Here are some of our highlights from SEMA 2015. 

A huge unveiling kicked off the show on Tuesday morning. An All-Star unveiling at the Flowmaster booth featured builds by Tim Strange, Rad Rides by Troy and the Ringbrothers. A large crowd gathered to see the debuts of a few amazing vehicles. We were of course glad that they chose California Car Covers to keep them under wraps until the reveal.

Our friends at Johnsons Hot Rod Shop also unveiled a custom Studebaker on Tuesday afternoon.

Chris Carlson at Carlson Hot Rods debuted a custom Buick at the NAPA booth on Tuesday afternoon as well.

Wednesday brought some wet weather to the SEMA Show. Fortunately, most of our plans for Wednesday were inside since there is a lot of ground to cover in just four days. 

Glad to see many of our friends put our custom fit California Car Covers to good use with the rainy conditions throughout the day.

Another big unveiling with the Ringbrothers got us started on Day #2 at the SEMA Show. Their latest all carbon fiber wide body kit attracted a lot of attention for Ford Mustang and performance enthusiasts alike. 

The sun was out on Thursday and so were the crowds. 1,000s of people took over the Las Vegas Convention Center. 

Trust us. There is a Ford Mustang out there somewhere.

There were 100's of custom vehicles to look at during SEMA 2015. We could not see all of them, but we tried to take photos of a few of our favorites. Here are some photos from the show.

There were a lot of square body Chevy trucks at the show and this was one of the nicest ones.

Thank you to many of our great cover customers and partners. Glad we could be part of some amazing projects and debuts at the SEMA Show.

That's a wrap! We will back in 2016.

1965 Iso Bizzarrini Le Mans Winner from our Holiday Catalog

This might be the only Iso Bizzarrini that we have ever seen. This rare race car won its class at Le Mans in 1965 and finished in the Top 10 overall. The car was built by Giotto Bizzarrini, who was the head Ferrari race engineer at the time. He left during the Palace Revolt and decided to campaign his own creation.

The car is owned by Bruce Meyer, a long time friend and customer of California Car Cover. We were thrilled to view his private collection and honored that we were able to feature it on the cover of our holiday catalog cover. 

The vehicle definitely has the look and feel of a Ferrari, but it actually was powered by a 327 Corvette engine. With over 400 hp, the Bizzarrini reached a top speed of 188 mph at Le Mans. This "works entry" also featured a front-mid engine design, lightweight tube frame and inboard rear disc brakes. 

The 1965 Iso Bizzarrini was driven at Le Mans, the Nurburgring, Reims and the Austrian GP. Thank you to Bruce for provided some great historic photos of the Iso on the racetrack.

Thank you to Bruce for letting us some time in the garage. We hope everyone enjoys the unique selection for this year's Santa's Workshop as much as we do.

36th Annual Roam'n Relics Car Show in Moorpark, Ca 2015

On Sunday, the California Car Cover Crew spent a day on High St. in Moorpark, Ca for the 36th Annual Roam'n Relics Car Show. This local car club has been putting on a very nice car show for many years. California Car Cover was proud to support the car show yet again this year. We had a chance to visit with some local customers and talk car care as we do just about every weekend. Here are some photos from the show.

Muscle cars and hot rods lined both side of High St. in Moorpark, Ca for the annual car show. Though there is plenty of shade on High St. everyone enjoyed the cool overcast morning.

Whatever style of classic car you love, there was a fine example of it on display during the car show.

Plenty of spectators enjoyed the show that our friends at the Roam'n Relics put on this year.

Thanks again to the Roam'n Relics Car Club for having California Car Cover support their car show. The club raises a lot of money in the local community, so it was nice to see a good turnout at the event. See everyone back in Moorpark in 2016.

4th Annual Classic GM Car Show at California Car Cover

This past Saturday was our 4th Annual Classic GM Car Show. It was the last event of the season at California Car Cover and we had a great time with all of the classic car owners who joined us at the show.

A number of cars from local car clubs attended the show. We had The Habit Burger Truck on hand serving up burgers and fries, plus a great sale booth for customers to score some deals on collectibles and more. Our friends from 100.3 The Sound LA came out to the show with their mobile Uncle Joe's Garage. Local radio host and automotive enthusiast, Joe Benson, was on hand to take photos, sign autographs, and talk cars.

Our events would not be possible without the support of our great suppliers and vendors. These companies provide us with great raffle and door prizes for our guests. With their support, we were able to raise over $2000 this past year to support local charities, such as Rancho San Antonio Boy's Town, Movember, and the SFV Rescue Mission.  Thank you to everyone that attended or support our 2015 Car Show Series and we will see you again in 2016.
