Ford Motor Company and GM will again recognize significant design achievements at the 2009 SEMA Show with their annual design awards.

- Outstanding Achievement(s)
Ford's formal award presentation will be Tuesday, November 3, at 11:00 a.m. inside the Ford Motor Company Show stand, located in the Racing & Performance section of the Center Hall (the Ford Motor Company press conference will follow at 11:40 a.m.).
Ford's Corporate Design judging team will review all Show vehicles on display during setup on Sunday and Monday.
