Experience Elements of the SEMA Show in Person April 20-24 with Products, Parts, and More

Mar 17, 2022, 10:00 AM by Michael Garland

Spring Carlisle presented by eBay Motors comes to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds April 20-24 and while the event is powered by thousands of vendors, millions of items for sale, and nearly 100,000 guests from around the world, there’s one very special display of items that can ONLY be seen in person at the event. Each Spring, the ARMO Hot Products Showcase occupies a large footprint between the stage and grandstand and brings a little bit of the popular SEMA Show from Las Vegas direct to Carlisle.

For context, the SEMA Show is the largest automotive trade show in the world, spanning nearly a full week each fall and filling the Las Vegas Convention Center.  SEMA is the industry recognized acronym for the Specialty Equipment Market Association. This big event hosts top builders and designers, celebrities, the coolest of cool cars and trucks, tires, wheels, lift kits, chrome, lights, and any and all new and hot products coming onto the market. It is THE show of shows, but it’s also not open to the public, rather, it’s for vendors, dealers, retailers, etc. 

Carlisle brings the exclusiveness of SEMA to showgoers at Carlisle. We invite car lovers of all backgrounds to come and experience the ARMO Hot Products Showcase.  The ARMO display is unique, very inclusive, and it’s FREE to guests once through the gates of the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.  As acronyms go, AMRO stands for the Automotive Restoration Market Organization and it’s a council of SEMA. ARMO's primary goals are to ensure the longevity and prosperity of the automotive restoration industry and to represent a unified voice on behalf of its members. 

Carlisle thanks those members who make their products available to the ARMO team for display at Spring Carlisle. In turn, the display is open to Spring Carlisle guests and spotlights many of the same cool items that they’d otherwise see at SEMA if they were able to attend. In short, these highly sought-after restoration products, regardless of vendor, come to Carlisle each spring and you should too. It’s all just in time for car show season at Carlisle and beyond.
