FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, the world’s largest hot rodding association, is bringing thousands of Cool Cars, Cool People and Good Times to the southern California coastline for the silver anniversary of the Meguiar’s Del Mar Nationals presented by FiTech Fuel Injection. The event takes place over three days, April 10 - 12, at the scenic Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Thousands of regional customs, lowriders, street rods, muscle cars, woodies, VW’s and classic trucks will fill the grounds to celebrate So-Cal’s diverse range of the automotive lifestyle and culture. There will be several special indoor show areas including the Lowrider Palace packed with brilliant chrome and candied rides, plus an all-new Mini-Truck Madness exhibit inside and outside alongside the traditional hot rods, lakesters and highboys that all play a role in the eclectic styles of So-Cal hot rodding.

This event marks the selection of the first Goodguys Top 12 of the Year Awards presented by BASF with the naming of the coveted Goodguys 2026 Meguiar’s West Coast d’Elegance title. This high honor brings in top builders from across the country to enter their elegant pre-1966 street rod, classic truck, custom, or hot rod in the competitive category.

Goodguys will also be selecting Finalists for their six regional Top 12 Awards including Scott’s Hotrods & Customs Custom Rod, LMC Truck Early, Dakota Digital Truck Late, Griot’s Garage Muscle Machine, Vintage Air Custom, and Snap-on Muscle Car, plus a special Builder’s Choice Top 10 selected by Streamline Custom Designs. There will also be over 70 other unique awards handed out during the weekend with the chosen cars on display in a special winner’s circle on Sunday.

As America’s Favorite Car Show, Goodguys delivers fun for the entire family starting with the Family Fun Zone with free games and crafts, plus a model car show including an Auto World model car Take-and-Make for the kids. On Saturday there is a lowrider hopping contest to see which rides can jump the highest and for those seeking the sound and feel of drag racing, there’s the Summit Racing Nitro Thunderfest exhibition where vintage dragsters roar to life.

Intense racing action takes place all three days as skilled drivers tear through cones and corners to qualify for the Goodguys Duel in Del Mar Shootout going down Saturday afternoon followed by the All American Shootout on Sunday. If you’re looking for parts or even a new project, there is a Swap Meet, a Cars 4-Sale Corral, and a Manufacturer’s Midway that will be jam-packed with some of the nation’s biggest automotive parts & services companies.

The Goodguys 25th Meguiar’s Del Mar Nationals welcomes specialty classic vehicles made before 2000. On Sunday, newer American-made or powered vehicles are welcome to join the fun for the Meguiar’s All-American Sunday.
