Corona, Calif. – October 8th, 2026- Automotive Designer Chip Foose, in partnership with automotive designer Coulson Aviation, will unveil the completed restoration of Ben Johnson’s 1955 Chevrolet Delray at the 2026 SEMA Show on Tuesday November 3rd, 2026, in the TMI Products booth #24477 in Central Hall at 11:30am PST.

This build marks the culmination of many hours of hard work from the Coulson Aviation and Autosport Team as well as Chip Foose.

Working alongside Johnson throughout the build, Foose developed a design that honors the spirit of the original car while incorporating select components recovered from the burned vehicle. “I’m incredibly proud to partner with Coulson Aviation and be a part of the RISE Program. Giving back has always been part of my DNA, and the Coulson family has given Foose Design the opportunity to play a small role in something that can make a very big difference. It’s an amazing program, and I’m honored to be part of it.” — Chip Foose
