About Goodguys Rod & Custom Association
Geographic reach: United States, West Coast, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Southwest, Southeast
Goodguys Rod & Custom Association is a long-running organizer focused on American hot rodding, custom cars, trucks, and the wider collector-vehicle community. The company operates as Goodguys Rod & Custom, Inc. and publicly describes its website as the online home of the association, with event information, registration, and member services available through its platform.
Its portfolio centers on large-scale consumer and enthusiast car shows, especially multi-day national events and regional get-togethers that combine vehicle displays, autocross, vendors, awards, and family-friendly programming. The organizer’s 2026 schedule shows a broad North American footprint with recurring anchor events in Pleasanton, Scottsdale, Fort Worth, Columbus, Des Moines, Puyallup, and other U.S. automotive hubs.
Goodguys positions these events around participation, member engagement, and the live-car-show experience rather than a pure trade-only format, making it a strong platform for automotive aftermarket brands, restoration businesses, equipment suppliers, and lifestyle sponsors looking to reach active car enthusiasts. Based on the published 2026 calendar, Goodguys organizes at least a dozen distinct events per year, with several annual flagships spanning the spring, summer, and fall season.
