Exactly, as I think all cars and coffees should be.

The Red Corvair is fantastic. I see it has a Yenko plate.

If I ever happen to find a reason to go to Tennessee... I think I'll have to plan it around one of these events. Very cool. Reminds me of my times at the Scottsdale Pavillions meets. Not sure if those still happen, but every Saturday evening / night there was a really big car show. Never knew what you'd see...

We went to Fiat's on the Dragon (2016 or 17) and they had a day tour that included us all doing this C&C.  Pretty nice set-up.

I'll also say this. The day starts early for Harper Auto Square's Cars & Coffee, but people start rolling out around 10. After that, you can hit the Tail of the Dragon or do other stuff. It's not drawn out, which is nice.

There's a monthly C & C south of Dayton and north of Cincinnati, Ohio that draws nearly the number that the Harper's does, and another one in West Chester, Ohio that alternates with the Dayton event that is not quite as large, but still impressive nonetheless. Both attract a great cross section of automotive tastes and styles.

In reply to 300zxfreak :

I think the 1st event this year for Dayton C&C saw about 1500 cars.  They were lining up at 630am when I got there to set up our SCCA display.
