Halloween morn’ was a perfect day for a Cars Coffee event,
so perfect in fact that the old saying “the early bird gets . . .”
was relevant to both parking and donuts!
Speaking of donuts, well before dawn Bill Grant was rescuing
our order of Dunkin Donuts from a couple who had been
mistakenly given our 15 boxes of donuts along with their order of a box of donut holes . . . and nobody noticed until Bill arrived moments later to save our bacon–or, more accurately, our donuts!
With the donuts rescued, our friends started arriving, and
arriving, AND ARRIVING until our 3 parking lots were
overflowing (see video below) and the 180 Dunkin donuts were on their way to being history.
And they arrived in Ferraris and Firebirds, in Porsches and
Pontiacs, in Corvettes and Comets, in Mustangs and Model As.
We even had a matched set of yellow BMWs and two ‘50s Ford
Pickups—to mention but a few.
But despite the fine work of Bill, Dietmar and Watson, the
coffee, donuts and Halloween candy were merely the extras in this episode of Cars & Coffee; the real stars of the gathering were the enthusiasts who brought their cars and trucks, along
with their stories, on this beautiful fall morning.
And just as quickly as they had arrived, by 10:00 our friends
had departed and our now empty parking lots would await their return on April, 24, 2027 for the new season of Cars Coffee at the Classic Car Center.

photographer and friend, Sam Winters:
