FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, the world’s largest hot rodding association and producer of America’s Favorite Car Show, is gearing up for their Crown Jewel event of the summer - the 38th West Coast Nationals! The event takes place August 22-24 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, California, bringing over 2,500 classic cars and trucks together for California’s biggest hot roddin’ party of the summer.

The West Coast Nationals welcomes 1999 and older specialty vehicles including vintage hot rods, chromed lowriders, muscle cars, classic trucks, and street machines. For fans of the celebrated Tri-Five Chevy there will be three special indoor exhibits showcasing each specific model year; one full of ‘55s, another with ’56 models, and of course, another featuring the finned ’57 Chevy.

On Saturday, participants get to compete for a regional finalist position in the Goodguys Top 12 of the Year Awards presented by BASF including the Snap-on Muscle Car, Vintage Air Custom Rod, LMC Truck (Early), Scotts Hotrods ‘N Customs Custom, Griot’s Garage Muscle Machine, and Dakota Digital Truck of the Year (Late). There are also over 80 other unique awards available including the Builders Choice Top 10 being selected by Roseville Rod & Custom and six unique Memorial Awards.

The family fun weekend has plenty for the kids to enjoy starting with the Auto World Family Fun Zone packed with games and crafts, a free Model Car Take-and-Make and model car display. You can also get up close to artists during the Pinstriper’s Brush Bash before heading over to the swap meet packed with vintage parts, a Cars 4-Sale Corral, and a huge Vendor’s Midway filled with the best names in hot rod parts and services.

If you’re looking for motorsports action, the Goodguys AutoCross runs all three days with drivers competing Friday and Saturday to qualify for the Fall Shootout title on Saturday afternoon.
