2013 SEMA Show Photo Gallery: Day 2

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Las Vegas, NV - Well, we made it inside the convention centre, finally, on day 2 of the 2013 SEMA Show in Sin City. We gotta say, the street candy was almost too distracting, but boy are we glad we made it inside.

2013 SEMA Show Photo Gallery: Day 2

From a classic 1960's Rambler American Wagon (#wagonlove!!) to a Fiat 500, day 2 was a mix of retro goodness and modern classics. Ferrari F12s, Nissan Skylines, Ford Broncos, and Hyundai Velosters... where to look? Heavily modded or tastefully enhanced, each possessed the power to capture our attention for just the right amount of time as we poked around each and explored the hard work and dedication each tuning house put into their vehicles.

The 2013 SEMA Show is, more than anything, a showcase of craftsmanship, of dedication. The vehicles on display are works of art in their own right. While some are about pure power (check out the 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback in the gallery), others are just absolutely stunning to behold (you'll wanna see the 1950 Studebaker Woody).

Check out our extensive photo gallery of day 2 at the 2013 SEMA Show. And for more coverage including videos, make sure you head over to Auto123.TV.

SEMA 2013: Day 3 knocks the wind out of us

Our final day scouring the massive halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the 2013 SEMA Show has destroyed what was left of our feet, legs and backs -- and we couldn't be happier about it.

The 2013 SEMA Show was truly an impressive display of everything automotive, from bumper to bumper, and we've tried our darndest to bring it all to you. We'll have hundreds upon hundreds of pictures for you, loads of texts, and a bunch of videos by the time all is said and done.

Each of us fell in love with something we saw over the last few days. As far as I'm concerned, my tally works out to roughly 29 cars and 32 pickups... I'm gonna need a bigger garage, and wallet.

So there you have it: the 2013 SEMA Show, done and done.

See you next year!

Beware the Bargain BMW - Automobile Magazine
Bob Lutz's plan for Pontiac would have been a disaster.

When Bob Lutz speaks, we listen. How could we not? He’s an octogenarian who looks like a Nordic god and flies fighter jets. He’s also an automotive legend who had a hand in everything from the Dodge Viper to the Chevrolet Volt. And so it was no surprise that Lutz’s comments last week about Pontiac’s plans to introduce a line of rear-wheel-drive, cut-rate BMWs drew so much attention. “Pontiac was on its way back … we were embarked on a strategy of making Pontiac different from the rest of GM in that Pontiac would not get any front wheel drive cars,” the former GM product vice chairman told a forum at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, according to Autoweek. He added that the next G6 was going to share the Cadillac ATS’s Alpha architecture.
