GOODGUYS Pacific Northwest Nationals: Puyallup 2026 - A West Coast Classic Car Extravaganza

Mark your calendars for July 24-26, 2026, as the GOODGUYS Pacific Northwest Nationals revives the vibrant Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington state for an unforgettable celebration of classic American automotive passion. This premier event, a cornerstone of the West Coast car show circuit, promises three days filled with stunning pre-1972 vehicles, roaring engines, and the unmistakable camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts.

The Heart of the Show: A Sea of Steel & Chrome
The core of the Nationals is the meticulously judged 500+ car show. Expect an awe-inspiring panorama of meticulously restored and customized machines spanning decades. Witness gleaming pre-war classics, potent muscle cars from Detroit's golden age, sleek customs with eye-catching paint and wild modifications, and timeless hot rods showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Categories range from street rods and customs to muscle cars, trucks, and even early Corvettes, ensuring every taste is catered to. The coveted Builder's Choice Awards and GOODGUYS Top 100 awards highlight the absolute finest examples of automotive artistry.

Beyond the Showfield: A Festival of Automotive Culture
The experience extends far beyond simply admiring the cars. The expansive Vendor Midway is a paradise for parts hunters, restorers, and collectors, offering everything from rare NOS parts to custom accessories and memorabilia. The Swap Meet sections provide opportunities to find that elusive treasure or sell your own surplus. Live music keeps the atmosphere energetic throughout the weekend, while special events like the autocross (where you can see some cars in action on a temporary course) and seminars offer deeper engagement and learning opportunities. It's a true festival atmosphere buzzing with shared enthusiasm.
