Goodguys Autumn Get-Together 2025 brings a fall weekend of swap meets, vendor displays, and a wide range of parts and merchandise for classic car fans. Check the official schedule for the exact dates and location as plans finalize.
The Autumn Get-Together spans a weekend with large swap meet areas, many vendor rows, and a variety of shops. To get the most from your day, check the site map, decide priority zones, wear comfortable shoes, bring a portable chair, sunscreen, hat, and a reusable bag. Have a budget and plan meals to avoid long waits.
Plan your day
Swap meet rows offer vintage parts, decals, and hard-to-find hardware from a wide range of makes. Bring a notebook to note part numbers and measurements, and verify fit before pulling out your wallet. Bargaining is common, but stay respectful and know when to walk away. A small wagon or tote helps haul your finds back to the car.
Vendors showcase a broad range of merchandise, from restoration supplies to period apparel and model cars. Expect to see expert sellers offering engine parts, body panels, wheels, and performance accessories, as well as shops featuring memorabilia and signage. Some exhibitors provide restoration services or resources for local shops and clubs. Always ask about compatibility and warranties before purchasing.
On-site tips
Once inside, pick up a map or use the event app to navigate the grounds and plan your walk between swap meet blocks and vendor rows. Park near main entrances if mobility is a concern, and keep items secure while you roam. Hydration and snacks help on longer days, and take a break to assess your route. Be mindful of weather and sun exposure.
Budget wisely and bring a mix of payment options. While many vendors take cards, some swap meet sellers prefer cash, so bring small bills and coins. An empty tote and a compact cart help move purchases, especially if you score furniture, signage, or tools. Check daily hours and any special show days to maximize time with automotive businesses.
Wrap up your visit by reviewing receipts and tagging items with part numbers for future reference. If you bought a rarer item, plan shipment or pickup from the seller when possible. Gather vendor contact info for future orders, restoration projects, or club connections. And remember to respect space and fellow shoppers as you depart.
