Cars Cars Cars - Highlight on Muscle Cars

The Mazda MX-5 Speedster concept is designed to emphasize the raw fundamentals of driving and little else. Wearing a small wind deflector in place of a windshield and finished in a bespoke shade named Blue Ether, the MX-5 Speedster concept clearly is intended to heighten the intensity of the man-and-machine ethos that already defines the production MX-5 Miata. Debuted at SEMA Show November 2015.

The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. It draws the industry’s brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition, the SEMA Show provides attendees with educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events, networking opportunities and more.

The 2015 SEMA Show drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers, but it feels like 120,000 people to me.  The displays are segmented into 12 sections, and a New Products Showcase featured nearly 2,500 newly introduced parts, tools and components. In addition, the SEMA Show provides attendees with educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events, networking opportunities and more…

So many cars to see and so many to talk about, and since I have a soft spot for Camaros and Chargers, I've decided to highlight the American Muscle Cars. Vintage and New: Camaro, Corvette, Charger, Challenger, Viper, Mustang, Ford GT.

Always fun to get freebies from the shows. Thank you to ArmorAll for all the air fresheners, KrestoGT for the hand creams, Refresh Your Car for the steering wheel wipes!  The girls at the new product area were always very helpful!

So this company rebuilds vintage radios into working

modern models, except it still looks vintage. Pretty cool.

They could use some help with branding in their booth though...

wipes. Perfect for steering wheels. You don't realize how

much germs are on your steering wheel. Wipe away!!
