Coffee & Classics® Winnetka

.

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, 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 along Winnetka’s beautiful village center.

Gracious owners are as excited to chat and mingle as the local residents are to stroll and view. 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 in the Midwest.

  • Non-members driving classic European cars (1995 and older) may park within the event with a $20 donation EXCEPT IN SEPTEMBER. Donation goes toward membership if they apply.

We’re not trying to be the biggest, only the best for our members.

Note: The American Classics and modern European cars you’ll see belong to members who were grandfathered in. They know who they are.

    Yesterday was my first time attending the show and it was wonderful. Although I’ve enjoyed viewing cars in other venues it’s nice to see them outside. Thanks to all of the owners but particularly the owner of the vintage Cobra for sharing their treasures with us. It was nice to see so many children enjoying the cars as well. My sons and me will attend future events.

  9. Anna Says:

    My mistake was looking at the wrong calendar. What is the policy on motorcycles?

    • The Driver Says:

      Anna,
      We did just update the calendar per your help.
      Motorcycles. That depends on the event. 2015 Fuelfed members that have pre-1980 European bikes can show them at events. Non-members with qualifying vehicles can show if they purchase a $5 Day Pass. The $5 will in turn will be applied to membership if they join within 7 days of the event date.

  10. Henry Wolf Says:

    Hi, I was wondering if you have to be a registered Fuelfed member to show a car, or can you just show up, and drive in?

    • The Driver Says:

      Henry,

      Yes, C&C is a private club event for our members. Yes, all the cars you see in the pictures are Fuelfed members.
      However, we have single Day Passes for classic European cars 1990 or older. Day Passes are $5 at the main gate and goes towards your membership if you join.

    Sorry I missed most of the year. Had big Clutch foot problems that started in May. Finally was operated on in August. 8 screws and 4 metal plates and 15 weeks of no weight on the foot later….I start 3 months of PT in a few weeks. Looking to seeing you next year.

  12. The Driver Says:

    Right there where its always been.
