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.

PLEASE NOTE: All Fuelfed Coffee & Classics® events are for current Fuelfed members to display their European classics (1995 & older) 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 Car Show 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.

• Please do not touch or get into the cars.
• Please be careful not to brush against cars when taking selfies. Touching the paint can leave small scratches that affect the value of the car.
• Please dismount and walk your bike or boards.
• Please keep pets, strollers, bikes, and boards 5 feet away from the cars to avoid accidental dings/scratches.
• To those taking pictures and sharing online, we ask you to state that your images were taken at the Fuelfed Coffee & Classics (#fuelfedcarclub, #fuelfed, #fuelfedcoffeeandclassics).

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.

Display Card

We ask drivers to download windshield display cards and fill out their car’s vitals. This will allow the rest of us to appreciate the classic even if the driver isn’t near by to chat. Click on pdf below and print it out.
