The 2024 SEMA Show may be over, but we’re still reliving the fun, excitement, and opportunities that this world class event brings to the automotive aftermarket.   

ARMO’s booth had an amazing display of restoration vehicles – different than years past. Check out the Mercedes Maclaren by d:Class, the Skyline by Built By Legends, and the ‘57 Nomad by Riley’s Rebuilds. They were all exceptional vehicles built with precision and passion.

The ARMO reception was packed again this year and always the reception to hit at SEMA Show. With a 1980s theme to the event, we ate, drank, networked, and honored industry legends.

Congratulations to Jeff Leonard of Classic Industries for being named ARMO Person of the Year, Dwight Forrister as our newest Hall of Fame inductee, and Max Performance as ARMO Business of the Year!
