After an unveiling at the 2012 SEMA Show, the vehicle will be auctioned on eBay Motors, and proceeds from the auction will benefit the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund. In addition, SEMA, Ford and Source Interlink will work together to promote this amazing project.

Eligibility
Volunteers must be female SBN members employed by a SEMA-member company.

Selection
SBN will review applicants' skills and availability. Women selected will be notified by phone or e-mail.

Not an SBN Member?

The public is invited to visit www.automobilemag.com, www.HotRod.com, www.mustangmonthly.com or www.MuscleMustangFastFords.com to vote on the design concept they would like to see used for the build.

When delivering the photos of this rough Opel prototype, the spy shooting team at Brenda Priddy & Co. were intrigued by the rumors regarding the Opel Cabrio. The group is hearing word that this Cabrio might undergo a few tweaks, including a new grille and such, and become Buick’s first convertible since the Reatta.

According to the team, the new Astra Cabrio—minus the camouflage—will debut at the Paris Motor Show this coming fall. It will have a traditional cloth top and be configured with seating for four. And if the sporty Cabrio crosses over to the Buick brand, it will likely arrive in the United States in time for the ’14 model year.
