Car creations draw fans to SEMA Show (20 images)

The 2019 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, an annual automotive specialty products trade show, runs through November 8, 2019, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The event spotlights innovative products in the $44.6 billion automotive aftermarket. More than 160,000 people are expected to attend.
