[{"type":"text","content":"Custom-vehicle unveils of Ringbrothers’ Octavia, a 1971 Aston Martin DBS, and Classic Car Studio’s Effy, a 1956 F100\nLAS VEGAS, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation’s (NASDAQ: GNTX) booth at the automotive aftermarket’s SEMA show will be home to two custom car unveils, including one from the world-renowned Ringbrothers, and another from the elite restoration shop, Classic Car Studio.
