Coffee & Classics® – What is it?

Coffee&Classics2015

Fuelfed’s Coffee & Classics® has grown very quickly since the first 24 cars showed up in Winnetka in September of 2010. These events quickly evolved into the premier monthly Sunday morning gathering in multiple locations, and while others try to emulate it, there is only one original. An incredible array of beautiful ultra-rare and historically-significant European classics all driven to and park in beautiful village centers.

PLEASE NOTE: All Fuelfed Coffee & Classics® events are for current Fuelfed members to display their European classics (1995 and older) and are not an open car show, but rather a members’ meeting. That said, consider joining the club and become part the revered private club of like-minded enthusiasts

Nothing comes close to the level and variety of European classics on display. We are very proud the automotive press has dubbed Fuelfed’s Coffee & Classics in Winnetka “the Crown Jewel” of car shows.

A Note About Coffee & Classics Etiquette:

  • Please enjoy the cars and feel free to talk to owners. We love sharing our passion with others. The cars are also investments that can be damaged more easily than you might think.
  • No soliciting and advertising of events, services or products.
  • Please do not touch or get into the cars.
  • Please dismount and walk your bike or boards.
  • Please keep pets, strollers, bikes, and boards 5 feet away from the cars.
