Your Independence Day celebrations didn’t have to end on July 4th – not if you decided to extend your festivities by attending the 21st Annual Goodguys’ PPG Nationals in Columbus, OH. After all, what could be more American than celebrating the automobile? As many as 6,000 American made or powered Rods, Classics, Customs, Muscle Cars, and Trucks were on display at the Ohio State Expo Center. And, this year, Goodguys made the party even bigger, by including ’87 and older models on Friday and Saturday, but their All-American Sunday welcomed all years, as in the past.
