SEMA Preview 10 of 10: The Factory Fives of SEMA 2019!

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

SEMA is the Super Bowl of car shows, and along with our latest and greatest factory cars, we are always fortunate to have some over-the-top customer cars. For a small company, the sheer number of Factory Five cars spread out throughout the show is always something I am very proud of.

This year, there will be at least 15 Factory Fives at the show. Here is a peek of them before the show starts:

Customer Myron Senko’s LS9 Twin Turbo GTM

Factory Five ’35 Hot Rod Truck body used in *Hobbs & Shaw*.

Jeremy Foster’s Gen 3 Coupe built by Ron Everitt.

Stay tuned as we’ll have more updates from this year’s SEMA Show posted on our website and social media pages.
