of car imaginable. Every so often cars will leave their marked space and make a cruise down the Cruise route, past the Woody’s pavilion and out the front gate, make a u-turn and come back down the Cruise route to the hoots and hollers of their friends and admiring public. Next time you come, bring a lawn chair and find a nice spot to watch the action, which includes more than just nice looking cars, in this movable car show and cruise. Everywhere you go there are friendly people, who will willingly talk to you about their cars, offer you a chair and make you feel right at home. This year about 2500 pre 1972 cars participated over the 2 days! Bring some good walking shoes, because it is a huge site, and the surface is either concrete or asphalt, and you will do some serious walking. I walked into the Mission Tower exhibit of Woodys and counted nearly 30 of them. Circling back I came to the Exhibit Hall where there was a wide variety of cars on display. There were muscle cars, coupes, roadsters, trucks, station wagons, Woodys, vintage and classic cars of all descriptions. A dizzying array of F-100’s, T-Birds, Nomads, Cobras and exotic and domestic cars were on display. More cars followed; Cabriolets, Catalina’s, Chevelles, Impalas, Bel Airs, delivery vans, touring cars, and enough 1930’s hot rods and 1960-70’s muscle cars to satisfy the most serious gearheads. If you mosey along it is impossible to see this show in one or two full days.
Over 350 vendors provided a wide variety of goods included; Hoists, lifts, Rodders Journal Magazine, auto parts, Time shares, personalized license plates, engines, Chinese Acupuncture and messages, polishes, jewelry, art, original gas pumps. That was only part of what was offered, for they had; auto insurance, custom car shops, slot racers, bric-a-brac, Hawaiian and hot rod shirts, golden oldies music and tapes, bicycles, drivelines, grills, hubcaps, tools, motorcycles and choppers, gaskets, rims, wheels, car seats and signs. Fantastic cars, wonderful people, warm and sunny weather, and a show that never seems to end wraps up the Goodguys Del Mar Show.
Thanks for the Show!
