In just a few months, specialty-equipment manufacturers will descend on Las Vegas for the annual SEMA Show, providing qualified buyers with a can’t-miss opportunity to check out new products, connect with industry suppliers and peers, stay up to date on industry trends and attend educational seminars. Those are only four of the most common reasons for attending the SEMA Show, according to Tom Myroniak, SEMA vice president of marketing and member services.

Myroniak led an exhibitor training seminar about how to bring buyers to your booth at the first-ever SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit at the Las Vegas Convention Center in May. He said that it was critical for exhibitors to understand the goals of buyers prior to the Show in order to capture their attention. [Read more]

Stu Hilborn did not build the sleek streamliner that has become so closely identified with him and his pioneering efforts in developing fuel injection. No, the car was originally built by a man named Bill Warth, who raced it in Southern California’s dry lakes in 1939 and 1940. Then powered by a four-cylinder Ford engine modified with Winfield Speed Equipment, the ‘liner reached speeds of more than 130 mph. [Read more]

The SEMA Show is a once-a-year epicenter for automotive accessories. It’s more than 1,500 exhibitors offering their best products and services to more than 100,000 attendees. The must-see attraction for many is the one-of-a-kind vehicles on display throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center. For others, however, the real eye candy is getting a look at the tools and equipment that builders are using to create those masterpieces. [Read more]

Don't let the “Limited” badge fool you, says Brenda Priddy. One look at the dual chrome exhaust tips (awkwardly poking out from the donor rear fascia) and unique SHO wheels, leaves no doubt that this is the high-performance Ford Taurus SHO. Designers wanted to give the SHO a distinctive look, separating it from other Taurus offerings, and it looks like they'll start with a “freshening” for the 2012 model year. Priddy's sources also expect the SHO's 365hp 3.5L EcoBoost engine to be tweaked a bit, even possibly to the neighborhood of 400hp. Priddy's pics clearly highlight a new grille but not the expected updated rear fascia. Interior updates should be minor. A complete makeover isn't likely until the 2015 model, although Ford has already been dropping hints, Priddy adds.
