Hemmings Recognizes Ten Standout Collector Vehicles at the SEMA Show 2026

The original collector car marketplace returns to Hot Rod Alley with its annual Hemmings Honors awards, Super-Sonic Block Party and Hemmings Motor Club presence

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hemmings, the original collector car marketplace, today announced the 2026 Hemmings Honors Award winners at the SEMA Show 2026 in Las Vegas. Presented to ten standout vehicle owners and builders across the show floor, Hemmings Honors recognizes the vehicles that capture the creativity, craftsmanship, personality, and future of collector car culture.

The Hemmings team selected this year’s honorees after reviewing builds throughout SEMA move-in and show week. Winners were chosen for their quality, story, execution, originality, and ability to represent where the hobby is headed.

For more than 70 years, Hemmings has helped define what matters in the collector vehicle world. Hemmings Honors extends that authority into one of the industry’s most important stages, giving builders and owners recognition that can become part of a vehicle’s provenance long after the show ends.

“The SEMA Show attracts some of the most remarkable custom vehicles in the world, but the real story is the talent behind them,” said Jonathan Shaw, President of Hemmings. “Hemmings Honors celebrates the builders whose craftsmanship brings these vehicles to life, the owners whose passion makes them possible, and the aftermarket manufacturers whose innovations help set them apart. We want that recognition to last long after the show ends and become a permanent part of each vehicle’s history.”
