SEMA 2009 Gallery: A walk through Mopar Alley

I have an appreciation for all sorts of cars, but deep down I’m a Mopar man.  I’ve owned Fords and Chevys, but my favorite cars have been my 1983 Dodge Mirada 340 and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340, and when I get to events like SEMA I’m always very excited to see what Mopar has in store for me.

This year, I have to admit that the indoor Mopar display was a little bare, although cars like the Challenger 1320 (click here for more info) and the new Dodge Avenger pro stock car (more info coming soon!) made the display worth the time.  

But there was still Mopar Alley.  The area connecting the Central Hall and South Hall runs you through a parking lot and atop a busy overpass, but for years now Mopar has bridged the gap with a variety of new and vintage Mopars -  both privately owned and featured vehicles owned by Chrysler Corporation.

This year was no different, as Mopar featured a good sized group of new models, along with the winners of their 2009 Top Eliminator contest.  These six vehicles were chosen from a large group of entries and were selected as the winners of Mopar’s Top Eliminator contests across the country at events like the Woodward Dream Cruise, and the prize was the chance to be featured at one of the world’s most visited automotive trade shows.
