It’s not just the cars – and there are more than 2,500 of them to look at. The Goodguys auto show in Pleasanton, Calif., this weekend is a combination car show, exhibition hall, race track, and a place to sit on the grass, have a picnic, hang out and talk to like-minded people.
The overwhelming aspect of the whole thing is the cars, staged all over the Alameda County Fairgrounds, on the grass, parked on various streets, next to exhibition buildings and inside some of them.
There are dozens of different examples – hot rods, rat rods, pickup trucks, convertibles, coupes, sedans, motorcycles, few of them in their original factory condition. Customizing is the mantra here.
But there’s also a lot more than just the cars.
Back behind the buildings are race tracks for go-karts and other cars; huge tractor-trailer rigs belonging to such outfits as Edelbrock (manifolds and complete engines on display) and other purveyors of engine, transmission and exhaust parts; and behind the go-kart track, a vast field of row upon row of cars for sale.
