Good info Ron. So is the Saleen name going to be dropped?haha Saleen is not out of business. SMS is the new name and they are coming over to a new nitch... Chrysler.
A few of my friends got a tour of the 150,000 square foot facility this week. Sean Saleen is suppose to be calling me this weekend as well. He will be joining my forum as a Vendor.
Not sure. I will ask Sean when he calls me. I think they will probably use the new name SMS???Good info Ron. So is the Saleen name going to be dropped?
He couldnt use his name?Steve Saleen retired. Then started his own company but obviously couldn't use Saleen so he picked sms. I think he wanted to do aftermarket for other companies thats why he did it.
On May 14, 2007, Steve Saleen announced his resignation from his position as Vice Chairman of Saleen, Inc. On June 6, 2007, Saleen was appointed CEO of ZX Automobile Company of North America (ZXNA), a subsidiary of CHAMCO.
On March 13 2008 Steve Saleen announced the formation of “SMS Limited”, Lifestyle Performance Automobiles, the most recent brand in the portfolio of companies he has founded. In the years of building each of his many brands, Saleen oversaw and participated in every aspect of the business, product development, sales and marketing. His latest endeavor will focus on the expansion into the high-end of the diverse American Muscle Car and Global Supercar markets.
