Looking forward to Sunday morning and #fuelfedcoffeeandclassicswinnetka where we are featuring small displacement classics under 2000cc.
Bet we fill the bridge and East Elm.
We start the 2023 Fuelfed Drive Season with The OPEN in Lake Forest this Sunday morning. To honor the concluding winter season, we feature vintage trucks and wagons.
The OPEN is for members Classic European, Classic American and Modern European vehicles.
It felt good to be back The Last Detail with the 10th annual Fuelfed Parts & Memorabilia event. 32 vendors and over 600 attendees made it through Saturday morning. So good to see everyone after a few months of winter dullness.
Lots of wheeling and dealing happened and we’re seeing a change in what sells and what doesn’t. Each year we tweak our recommendations to our vendors so everyone is happy.
As always these large events would not be possible with out the great support of our volunteers who put their time in to do what ever it takes to get tasks done. Thank you to all of them.
Our 8th annual Fuelfed Motorgearo has been sold out since January. We’ve worked hard to create a unique experience that caters to vintage European cars and their owners. From the curated routes of varying terrain, to culinary exploration of bespoke local eateries, the camaraderie is at peak levels during our 3 day experience, placing the Motorgearo at the top of the vintage rally scene.
The Fuelfed tradition continues every October in Winnetka when we feature members who dress in the era from which their classic was in production. The top three as chosen by our event workers receive a trophy for their creativity. We also encourage spectators to dress up.
Fuelfed Vinturo 3 Road Rally this Saturday immediately following our Coffee and Classics Douglas. Always an eclectic mix of classics on this mini rally.
Yesterday as we returned to the birthplace of our Fuelfed Coffee & Classics in downtown Winnetka some 12 years ago, we reflect on how our simple concept (thank you Highland House for being the first in 1963) pioneered the future of what is now the ubiquitous cars and coffee format.
Yesterday’s Fuelfed Coffee and Classics was far beyond the 24 first cars to arrive with George Klein and his E-Type being the very first that very cold September Sunday morning in 2010. In fact, we never dreamed to have over 220 European cars support our mission in Winnetka. Yet here we are, true to the original vision, grateful for the 1000s of people we have met and very proud of the large community we have built around a then small club of drivers we called Fuelfed.
