This past weekend Rod Authority was up north in Pleasanton, California, the headquarters of Goodguys Rod & Custom Association. We were there partying it up with Goodguys and fellow car enthusiasts alike for the 28th West Coast Nationals presented by Flowmaster, and boy was it a hell of a time.
Thousands of cars flocked to the Alameda County Fairgrounds for three days of treasure hunting in the swap meet, perusing the vendor midway, and of course gawking at all the street rods, hot rods, customs, and lowriders that made it out!
The West Coast Nationals is one of Goodguys’ premier events of the year–during this show all genres of classic vehicles come out to display. During the West Coast Nationals attendees get a full dose of California car culture in its entirety while being treated to some special out-of-state and international builds that are drawn to the allure of the event as well.
Stay tuned for a full feature from our visit up to Pleasanton that will showcase over 200 photos of eye-catching classics spanning the 20s through to the 70s. Our event recap will be hallmarked by a spotlight on several cars to give our readers a closer view of the eclectic variety of rides that are displayed at this event. From six-figure builds to slammed traditional customs, West Coast Nationals has it all.
Along with that, we’ll be bringing you guys some very special car features from the show in months to come so stay tuned for updates and check back regularly. For now, enjoy a few photos from this past weekend below!
