Arizona once again played host to Goodguys Rod & Custom Association’s 2025 season, bringing together thousands of automotive enthusiasts and some of the nation’s finest classic cars, hot rods, and custom builds. While the weekend brought overcast skies and periods of rain, the cooler conditions didn’t dampen the enthusiasm, instead giving the show a unique atmosphere and a welcome break from typical desert heat.
Serving as the official finale of the 2025 season, the event pulled in thousands of hot rods, customs, muscle cars, and classics. Highlights included the Goodguys Autocross racing series Duel in the Desert and King of the Desert shootouts, a sprawling swap meet and vendor midway, awards presentations, and the rare opportunity to see all of the Top 12 of the Year winners displayed together—proving once again that a little Arizona rain won’t stop a true car crowd.
