Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) members were once again given the opportunity to show their newest and hottest products at Spring Carlisle, held April 21–25, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The ARMO New Products Showcase gives members exposure in front of thousands of buyers and consumers. The April debate provides a perfect opportunity to jump-start the season, but the product exposure does not end there. Each product in the showcase is professionally photographed, and the photos are shown on a large flat-screen TV in the ARMO booth during the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Additionally, the products are included in this edition of SEMA Member News.

The annual New Products Showcase at Carlisle is free to all ARMO members and is one of the most popular member benefits. Nineteen companies participated in 2010, showing off more than 40 products. [Read more]
