Spring Fever will be a hub for the tuner, import and modern modified car hobby for the seventh time at the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors. And new for this year, DriveWise will join as a first-time sponsor of the popular feature. Spring Fever will showcase a diverse group of approximately 50 of these vehicles, at the top of Hall 2.

“The 2020 show was cut short by the outbreak of the pandemic, and it’s been a very long ‘two weeks to flatten the curve,’” said the show’s promoters. “The 2021 show wasn’t permitted, and until recently, we were nervous about being able to put on the 2022 show...
