One of the trends is to Flat Paint. Many of the cars had absolutely no shine, but they looked good. SEMA stands for Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association. Everyone who makes products for the aftermarket, that can be put on or in cars, has a booth at the SEMA show. There are thousands of them. They fill all three halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition to the aftermarket, all U. S. and foreign automobile manufacturers have displays of 20 or so new cars and concept cars. It is a car guys Meca. I took about 150 pictures of cars. There were about 1000 cars on display. Here are 38 of the ones I liked. Enjoy looking at the pictures.
