Internationally acclaimed automotive designer and master fabricator Chip Foose has been selected by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) as an inductee into the organization\u2019s prestigious SEMA Hall of Fame. Foose will be honoredJuly 29 at the SEMA Installation Gala in Pomona, Calif. for his outstanding career and contributions to the automotive specialty industry. This annual award is created to celebrate trendsetting icons and design mavens who have shaped and inspired the specialty-equipment market through their creativity, dignity, integrity and accomplishments.<\/p>\n

Son of legendary custom rod builder, Sam Foose, Chip, 52, has been steeped in car design since his early childhood and he\u2019s just as passionate about his creations today as he was then. In three decades, Chip\u2019s style has always been one both remarkable and entirely his own. His \u2018look\u2019 innately blends tradition and technology but more than that, each of his projects contain a consistent theme that integrally speaks to each piece. He doesn\u2019t just incorporate classic elements or technology just for the sake of doing so, he ensures that each project has an artistic, elegant and meaningful flow throughout. His designs are subtle and understated and, uniquely Chip, he starts his designs from the smallest details and then builds around it; embracing the details that speak truest to the project and then aligning every piece of the puzzle to bring his projects to complete design.<\/p>\n
