It’s often said that if you’re in the automotive industry, you’re at SEMA, and if you’re not at SEMA, you’re not in the automotive industry.
A similar thing can be said of the Carlisle Import and Replica Nationals. If you’re in the kit car business, you’re at Carlisle, and if you’re not at Carlisle, you’re not in the kit car business.

Factory Five customer Mike E.’s two-tone GTM was a stand-out at the 2014 Carlisle Show.
The annual Carlisle Show brings together all of the important kit car manufacturers in one place. It is a relatively small show as the kit car industry is hardly an industry. Still, it remains the largest and only kit car/replica manufacturers show in the country. We’ve been going to the Carlisle Show since 1995, and have seen a lot change over that time.
This year’s Carlisle Show saw some familiar faces and some new ones. The weather was nice, especially on Saturday when the crowds were thick.

The Factory Five crew was all over the map this weekend. Joe, Jay, and Courtnie were joined by customers to work our booth in Carlisle while Dave Smith ventured to Automotion in the Wisconsin Dells, and Tony Zullo and his remaining staff manned visits and pick-ups here in Wareham.

Bob and Cindy’s Roadster got a tremendous amount of attention during the show.
