MEGUIAR’S ADVOCATES PRIDE AMONG CAR ENTHUSIASTS AROUND THE WORLD WITH FIRST-EVER CAR CRAZY INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE SHOWCASE AT 2011 SEMA SHOW

Nine Cars from Nine Different Countries will be on Display Near Meguiar’s Car Crazy Stage November 1 -4, 2011
For the first time ever, top show cars from around the world will be on display at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA Show) held Nov. 1-4 in Las Vegas.
For over 30 years, Meguiar’s (producer of Car Crazy TV and Meguiar’s Car Wax) has been actively building and supporting the Car Hobby all over the world. Out of thousands of Car Shows in over 90 countries, the owners of nine of the top show cars in the world accepted Meguiar’s invitation to display their cars at SEMA, which will be brought in from across the globe by Passport Transport.
These cars will be on display, front and center, outside the Convention Hall beside the SEMA Car Crazy TV Stage. Throughout the four days of the show, the car owners will be a major attraction along with their cars, providing insight into the Car Hobby in their respective countries.
“The Car Hobby is a global fraternity that shares an amazingly consistent passion for vastly different cars,” says Meguiar’s President Barry Meguiar. “We attempt to capture this phenomenon with our Car Crazy TV Show on SPEED Channel, and now we are doing it live at SEMA. Having nine cars for our first year is a great start on what we believe will become a major feature at the SEMA Show.”
The number of quality show cars that capture the essence and excitement of the car hobby is staggering. Meguiar’s was determined to keep this an authentic program by having the local automotive aficionados lead in the selection process. Additionally, cars chosen to represent specific countries had to capture the overall global car hobby spirit by exciting car enthusiasts of all types, reflect incredible paintwork that is maintained both inside and out, include ground breaking design or be exceptionally eye-catching and most importantly, have a unique back story.
While the showcase is focused on providing a unique look at the car hobby in these nine countries, the cars on display are certain to attract some serious attention. Some of the treasures that are set to be on display include a 1953 Ford Truck F100 from Costa Rica, a 1981 Mk1 VW Golf from the U.K., a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Custom from Mexico, a 2000 Toyota Celica from China, and a 1978 XC GS Ford Falcon Hardtop coming all the way from Australia.
Before making their way to the SEMA Show, the cars will stop at the famed Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, Calif. for private showings to museum visitors during the month of October.
As the cars arrive in the US and head to the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, CA, we'll make sure and introduce you to these cool cars from across the globe in this thread!
