A Peek into the SEMA Auto Show

A Peek into the SEMA Auto Show

Every year in Las Vegas there is a huge automotive specialty products trade event called The SEMA Show.  It attracts the industry’s brightest minds and top products from all over the world.  There are some pretty cool and unique cars at this show and we at Flag Automotive wanted to share some of our favorites with you.

This truck, named the Thriftmaster, was based on a classic Chevrolet 3100 series pickup.  The beautiful bodywork was restored by Icon.  We loved the unique color and futuristic look to this classic.  It is sold at a cool $220,000 and only five will be made.  We can look and love, though, right?

This amazing car is the new Viper GTS.  It is painted a new color blue and the maker, SRT, is actually holding a contest to name the new paint color.  They’ve narrowed it down from 11,000 names to 3: Competition Blue, Overtaking Blue and Viral Blue.  We like Competition Blue; what about you?

Being based in the South, we had to share the picture of this fully restored 1978 Chevy truck.  How beautiful is that?  Not only did Chevrolet make the classic style of the of this truck look beautiful, they gave it an E-rod powertrain under the hood so it now has legal and modern exhaust emissions.  Now this is a truck we would buy in a heartbeat!

Of course, we had to include a picture of this incredible 2012 Ferrari 458, which is only one of two in existence.  It was actually shipped to the United States just a few days before the SEMA show.  Again, we can dream, right?

We couldn’t go without including a picture of the most bizarre auto at the show, a FedEx truck that has been lowered to the ground.  FedEx actually commissioned Mobsteel to build this crazy delivery truck!  Unfortunately, you won’t see your neighborhood deliveryman driving down the road in it.  The one-of-a-kind truck was built only for promotional purposes.  It’ll definitely get attention!
