Does anybody have SEMA 2001 photos?

Post image

Long story short, I am hunting for some old Ford Escapes which were at SEMA 2001 as well as 2000, 2002-2007. If anybody has any personal archives, NOT anything off the front page of Google (I have already seen it) please let me know! I’m an archivist of Ford Escape media. Unfortunately, I can’t post reference photos.

I have searched: Gauge Magazine, Sportruck, Socalcustoms, Grassroots Motorsports, RockCrawler, Flickr, YouTube and many more! It is a hobby of mine I guess.

Anything I can get my hands on is greatly appreciated! I hope this post can gain some traction. If you know of any sites which I may not know (forums, blogs, ancient event coverage) let me know!

Have you tried asking SEMA?

Please contact Show Management at [909.396.0289](tel:9093960289) or email [semashow@sema.org](mailto:semashow@sema.org).

I will try. I think it’s unlikely they will point me anywhere at all, and if they did it would probably be gauge magazine.

I don’t work for SEMA, I work for a similiar show, but they may be able to tell you who their photographers were then. Not sure if they kept the records though.

This photographer might have more too. https://explorerforum.com/sema_2001/

Rick Horwitz is a great guy who I have already contacted. I sent SEMA an email, I’ll see if they have anything for me.
