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.
The Midwest’s largest vintage Porsche event is 2 weeks out.
August 21, 2022 9am-2:00pm Burlington Airport in Burlington, WI
@zuffengruppe is the Midwest’s original gathering for air-cooled and pre-1995 water-cooled classic Porsches.
Also new for 2022 is a special display area for pre-registered modern 911s, Boxsters and Caymans.
Zuffengruppe events have always kept things fresh with unique locations by learning from each previous event. 2022 brings us to the Burlington Airport in Burlington, WI. Vintage Porsches will be joined by vintage aircraft including historic Warbirds; most will be flying in from around the Midwest. Historic aircraft will be displayed next to Zuffengruppe Classics with our Vendor Village set between the two areas. Zuffengruppe is always proud to support small and local by raising funds with a pancake breakfast served by the local high school and lunch served by the Burlington Fire Department with proceeds going to each.
Registered Porsches (classic & modern) will receive a reserved display space and the collectable Zuffengruppe swag.
Saturday night, August 20 is in the works for vintage Porsche street display in downtown Burlington in the quaint “LOOP” district from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Limited to 30 curated classic Porsches only.
This Sunday morning we continue our Coffee & Classics series in Milwaukee. This month we are in the historic 3rd Ward. Should be a very unique event with our Euro classics in a vintage setting.
Wow! What a perfect day on Sunday in Winnetka. The weather was perfect. The local residents and their kids were out in force and the stunning variety of rare European classics was over the top!
Any father who knows the difference between a box & cresent wrench will be at the Fuelfed OPEN this Sunday. Vintage European cars with children as passengers get preferred parking to celebrate dads on their special day.
