ARMO Joins JDM Enthusiasts at 2024 Japanese Classic Car Show The 2024 Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) in Long Beach, California, was an incredible experience as the SEMA Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) was welcomed by Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) car enthusiasts and Show presenters with excitement. If you're wondering why ARMO chose this event, it's part of our strategy to include all makes and models of cars into our restoration family. When restoring a car, we can all benefit from what SEMA and ARMO has to offer the industry--high-quality Show experiences, first-class networking, relevant education sessions, marketing opportunities and more. If you know of a JDM parts manufacturer or restorer, we'd love for you to share information about ARMO with them or pass their information along to us and we'll contact them. If you're interested in getting more involved with ARMO and the restoration industry, email ARMO Council Director Marcy Yanus at [email protected]. We always need people to help plan events, reach out to members, recruit new members, determine education needs and serve in leadership roles.
