About Fuelfed – What is it?

.

What started in 1998 as a small club amongst friends who love modifying and racing their German cars, has now grown into the largest private club for discerning collectors and enthusiasts of classic European cars & motorcycles. Fuelfed was founded on the spirit of driving and mechanical connectivity, and it is built with members who believe in this same ethos. Our club is run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, and it shows.

Fuelfed focuses on driving, socializing and promoting the passion of unique European automotive ownership.

As a diverse group of focused enthusiasts and collectors, we each take pride in our own choice of marque, yet as a collective group, we all share the same passion. It has always been about WHY WE DRIVE, NOT JUST WHAT.

Redefining Classic Motoring

Fuelfed offers a fresh take on club driving and social events.

In 2010 Fuelfed originated the Sunday morning car show format with its popular Coffee & Classics® gatherings. Our Coffee & Classics® events set the national benchmark for enthusiast camaraderie and top collector car variety. Coffee & Classics® remains the Club’s signature event series, with gatherings now held in Winnetka, Barrington, and Hinsdale in Illinois as well as in Thiensville, Wisconsin, Douglas, Michigan, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

With over twenty five events a year around Chicagoland, there is something for everyone, and almost every month. From our highly specialized road tours and rallies to our garage nights and cocktail parties, we bring members with shared interests together in unique ways.

Some of our other popular events include: Spontaneous Combustion, Fuelfed Fall Classic couples weekend, MotorGearo 250, TFD series, The OPEN series, Cocktails & Classics, day drives, Garage Nights, the holiday party, winter Swap Meet, etc. Club events change each year to keep things interesting. Check out our Calendar.

Sharing History & Supporting the Future

The Club is proud to be a leader in exposing the next generation of automotive enthusiasts to classic European cars and the classic car lifestyle. Fuelfed supports mechanical stewardship and the local organizations that sponsor young technicians.

Fuelfed partners with quality local small businesses and small towns to help grow their businesses.
