The Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show is back after being COVID-cancelled.   It&#8217;s an incredible display of cars, motorcycles and even aircraft that make appearances.  And Bullitt McQueen Mustangs of course!
So, each year the Friends of Steve McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show helps to raise funds for the Boys Republic.  Because the Chino Hills non-profit helps at-risk boys and girls ages 13 to 17.  And yes, in 1946 at the age of 16-years-old, Steve McQueen was a student there.
While the show is Sunday, there is a cocktail reception, commemorative dinner and movie screening each year the Saturday night before the show too.  This year&#8217;s theme is The Great Escape!

Auto Shows

Steve McQueen Car Show | Oct 2-3, 2021 | Chino Hills, CA

The Orange County Auto Show returns in 2021!  And this is after COVID caused its cancellation in 2020.
So, you can bet the crowds will be lined-up to get their test drives in.  And, check out the latest offerings from every carmaker.
Recent years have delivered more than 150 new vehicles available to test drive.  Plus the fan-favorite &#8211; row of exotic manufacturers.
The show is at the Anaheim Convention Center, and close to Disney World.  So, parking can be a process.  But come early.
Because you will be able to find a spot in the on-site garage.  Or you can save money.  By parking at Angel&#8217;s Stadium and taking the shuttle to the convention center.

Seal Beach Classic Car Show
The Seal Beach Classic Car Show is rounding the corner on 33-years.  Well, 34-really, but COVID stole the 2020 event from us.  But it&#8217;s still going strong.
Because thousands of Southern California car lovers, families, singles, and kiddos make their way to Main Street each year.
It&#8217;s hosted by the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce.  And a variety of cars are always on display.  But if you want to display your car you need to register early because the spaces sell out.
Plus local businesses, organizations, and students all pitch in to make the event a success.  So between the common threads of cars and local engagement, it&#8217;s on everyone&#8217;s to-do list.

Malibu Cars And Coffee events are at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Malibu Canyon Road sits Malibu Bluffs Park.
<div class='et-box et-info'>
					<div class='et-box-content'> Malibu Cars &amp; Coffee is currently POSTPONED until further notice &#8211; due to COVID-19.</div></div>
And twice a month one of the coolest cars and coffee events in Southern California takes place.
Because the setting alone is breathtaking.  So, amazing cars showing up is nearly secondary to the venue itself.
And while many cars and coffee events get shooed from one venue to another, this one has the City of Malibu itself behind it.  So, it&#8217;s managed to hold-fast for a number of years now.
Additionally, the park even has wi-fi available to the public.  (I don&#8217;t know anyone that&#8217;s used it but it just seems noteworthy.)
And oh yeah, what&#8217;s cooler than cruising PCH on a gorgeous Sunday morning?

Cars and Coffee

Malibu Cars and Coffee | *POSTPONED* | The Bu, CA

The Montecito Motor Classic is a special Southern California car show.  And that&#8217;s due to a couple of reasons.  First, because it benefits area police organizations.  Moreover, because it&#8217;s a free family-friendly event that attracts some truly exquisite, and priceless, automobiles within the beautiful Polo grounds.
And this year&#8217;s event theme appears to be the concept car.  So, if incredible cars aren&#8217;t enough.  Adding concept vehicles to the mix makes the event a must-attend &#8211; in my book anyway.
Plus event benefits both the Santa Barbara Police Activities League and the Santa Barbara Police Foundation.

Because, as if hypercars, supercars, exotics and the like aren&#8217;t enough to heighten your senses&#8230; this show has an incredible &#8216;but wait, there&#8217;s more!&#8217;  And that more is helicopters.
Personally, I&#8217;m petrified of heights.  And perhaps that&#8217;s why I find helicopters all the more fascinating.  But regardless, this show is cool!
What&#8217;s just as cool is that it <a href="https://www.hbpcf.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">supports a great cause</a> &#8211; the Huntington Beach Police Department and Community Foundation.

Cars ‘n Copters On The Coast | Oct. 17th, 2021 | Surf City

The Las Vegas Concours d&#8217;Elegance is really just getting started.  Because the inaugural event was in 2019.  Then COVID hit and knocked out 2020.  So 2021 is being hotly anticipated.
Why?  World Class cars for one.  Perhaps even more so because it&#8217;s a combination of those World Class cars in the adult-fun capital of the United States.  So there are four-days of automotive enthusiasm to enjoy.  Including a Tour d&#8217;Elegance taking place on the last day.
Unique to the Las Vegas Concours d&#8217;Elegance is the Helene Awards.   And the Helene Awards are a tribute to Helene Rother.  She was the first woman to work as an automotive designer for General Motors.  And believe it or not, she did so way back in 1943.

Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance | Oct 21-24, 2021 | Sin City

The 16th annual Japanese Classic Car Show is back for 2021!  And this after COVID caused the event to cancel last year.
You don&#8217;t want to miss this event.  Because it&#8217;s the original automotive event dedicated to old-school Japanese cars.
Plus, show-goers are sure to see most all Japanese brands represented.  Including  Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru.
Additionally, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and more.  And, luxury brands often make appearances.  In addition to Lexus, Infiniti, and Acura.
The Japanese Classic Car Show has about a 400-car limit.  And includes over 55-vendor booths.
And the location is Marina Green Park.  So it&#8217;s a great location along the waterfront in Long Beach, California.
Also, it&#8217;s along some of the same roads that are normally blocked off for the Long Beach Grand Prix.

Temecula Rod Run
The Temecula Rod Run basically takes-over all of Old Town Temecula each year.  And only a partial event took place in 2020.  But organizers are planning for a return in 2021!
Because it starts Friday night and runs through Saturday late-afternoon.  So, Friday kicks things off with a cruise that starts at 5 PM and goes until 8 PM.  And then on Saturday, the show begins at 9 AM and runs until 4 PM.
Over 600 cars are on display and thousands of people flood old town for the festivities.  And the fun covers all ages with food, entertainment, and vendors keeping everyone engaged and entertained.

The Best of France and Italy Car Show is a phenomenal gathering for those in the &#8216;know&#8217;.  Because while it is well attended I&#8217;m certain many more enthusiasts would go if they knew about it.  Plus, taking place basically in Hollywood means celebrity sightings are quite common.  For instance Jay Leno has been a mainstay at this show.  Whether he&#8217;s displaying a car or three or just stopping by to check out what&#8217;s on display.
So while it&#8217;s a non-judged show serious concours-level cars are often displayed.  But, at the same time, project cars are also on display in various states of completion.  And a big draw for this show is the swap meet that takes place at the same time.  Because there are few better places to land those hard to find parts for an Italian or French classic car then at the Best of France and Italy Car Show.

Best of France And Italy Car Show | Van Nuys, California

Donut Derelicts Cars And Coffee is the real deal.  Because my first time attending I arrived at 5:25 AM, thinking I&#8217;d be among the first to arrive.  No way.
By the time I got there, it was 100% happening.  There was a line for donuts.  Nearly all the prime parking spots were taken.  And it was still dark outside!
Perhaps, my History of Cars And Coffee <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/history-of-cars-coffee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">podcast and post</a> needs updating.  Because of the many super-friendly guys that I spoke with.   They&#8217;d been attending the event for as much as 36-years!
As for the cars on display.  It&#8217;s mostly hot rods, classics, and antiques.  And plenty of customs.  Plus there were a couple of antique motorcycles on display.
And when a new mid-engine Corvette rolled in.  That turned plenty of heads too.  This C&amp;C event is a must-attend, at least once, for any automotive enthusiast.

Donut Derelicts Cars & Coffee | Saturdays | Surf City (HB)

Gas &amp; Glaze Cars And Coffee is a new Saturday morning car meet in La Puente at Fresh Donuts.  And that&#8217;s located south of West Covina and north of Hacienda Heights.
The event started in March of 2021.  All types of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and creations are welcome.  And I highlight &#8216;creations&#8217; because when I went I met Ed.  He&#8217;s pictured above with his semi-tractor.
<div id="attachment_20380" style="width: 937px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20380" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-20380" src="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht.jpg" alt="Gas &amp; Glaze Cars And Coffee - red mini-rig nex to classic land-yacht" width="927" height="696" srcset="//cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht.jpg 927w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-300x225.jpg 300w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-768x577.jpg 768w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-610x458.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px" />Custom mini-semi-tractor next to a&#8230; &#8217;60&#8217;s Chevelle &#8211; I think.</div>
&nbsp;
And, the picture is in no way altered.  Because Ed is standing next to his 100% homemade semi-tractor creation.  He even made the frame!  So it turns out Ed&#8217;s made a number of these creations.  Red, mini, totally custom, semi-tractors.  He&#8217;s a retired auto mechanic and is happy to talk about his truck.  Because he&#8217;s actually made four or five similar trucks!
Gas &amp; Glaze C&amp;C isn&#8217;t immediately off any surrounding highways but it&#8217;s easy to get to.  A SoCal native named Mike started the event.  And he&#8217;s committed to growing a regular crowd for the gathering.
Finally, I brought a couple of Fresh Donuts home for my toddler son and me to enjoy.  And we give their donut recipe two-thumbs-up each&#8230; so, four thumbs-up. :0)

Gas & Glaze Cars And Coffee - Mike with homemade red mini-rig

Gas & Glaze Cars And Coffee – Saturdays – La Puente, CA

The Early Rodders Car Meet is a type of cars and coffee event.  And a good one too.
When I stopped around 8 AM it was in full swing.  And when I left close to 9 AM it showed little signs of easy up.
It offers a mix of all types of cars.  Lots of customs and rods.  And far in the back were exotics.  A McClaren and line of Porsches were getting little attention.
A couple of antique limos had rock star parking in front.  Which is cool and fitting for the movie theater location.

Early Rodders Car Meet | Saturdays | La Canada Flintridge

Cars And Coffee Valencia draws a mixed bag of cars and genres.  Having been there a couple of times now there are always classics, muscle, customs, and hot rods.
But I&#8217;ve also spotted old fire trucks and military vehicles like Jeeps.  Upon one visit the Santa Clarita Corvette Club was there in force.  So when a new midengine 2020 Vette rolled up.  It instantly became the bell of the ball.  For that section anyway.
Plus, upon another recent visit, there were lots of cars in pairs.  Perhaps coincidentally.  But I think not.  Rather I think it&#8217;s car guys who are friends either before or after they take up the hobby.  And then they wind up pairing cars and projects together.
Which, is very cool when you think about it.  Like all C&amp;C&#8217;s the group is super-friendly.  If it has wheels and an engine it seems welcome to display at Cars and Coffee Valencia.
Finally, as this C&amp;C ends another one just down the road starts every Saturday in Valencia.  And that one is called <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/event/a-brunch-of-cars-valencia-saturdays-rustic-burger/all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Brunch Of Cars.</a>

Cars N Coffee Simi Valley | 1st Saturdays | DunDee Donuts

Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee events were back &#8211; until 3/6/21.  That&#8217;s when attendees saw sandwich boards like the one pictured above everywhere.  And it&#8217;s a real shame too because the picture below shows tons of people enjoying the event.
But keep reading!  Because you have lots of Cars And Coffee options!
<div id="attachment_20307" style="width: 937px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20307" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-20307" src="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd.jpg" alt="Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee Canceled - crowd" width="927" height="696" srcset="//cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd.jpg 927w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-300x225.jpg 300w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-768x577.jpg 768w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-610x458.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px" />Crystal Cove canceled effective Marth 13th, 2021</div>
Here&#8217;s the backstory; in October of last year, I was alerted that Crystal Cove had started up again.  It had <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/history-of-cars-coffee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously been running for a while</a> and shut down, restarted, and shut down again.  So I made my way out and it was great.  There were loads of cars.  And they were mostly sweet collector cars.  However, being in Newport Beach, California, there were also plenty of exotics and high-value oddities too.
<h3>October 2020 &#8211; Crystal Cove</h3>
And at that time, only a third of the parking lot was being used for display cars.  So you could literally be the jerk that takes-up spaces parking the car you drove there because it just wasn&#8217;t that busy.  To be clear, I&#8217;m not suggesting you do that!  Rather I&#8217;m highlighting the point &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t that busy, then.
<h3>March 2021 &#8211; Canceled</h3>
Fast-forward to February of 2021.  I noticed thousands of people searching iDriveSocal for info on Crystal Cove.  So, I decided it was time for another check-up on the event.  And, I made my way there Saturday, March 6th.  Ironically, it was the very date of the cancelation notices being posted.
<h2>What Happened To Crystal Cove C&amp;C?</h2>
In short, it got too big.  It was always loosely organized.  No official website.  And no social media channels that I&#8217;m aware of.  Sadly, I think iDriveSoCal might have contributed to the problem of the event getting too big.  And that was definitely an unintended consequence.
<h2>What Now That Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee Is Gone?</h2>
But where do all the car guys and gals go on Saturday mornings now that Crystal Cove is canceled?  Well here&#8217;s what you can do:

Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee Canceled - sign

Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee | *Canceled* | Newport Beach

Donuts And Dipsticks in Placentia are cars and coffee events.  They&#8217;re intimate and open to everyone and every type of vehicle.
When I attended someone even had a 1970&#8217;s Honda Trail 70.  And it was in like-new condition.  All C&amp;C events are family-friendly and this one is for sure too.
In fact, I think most of the guys there knew each other&#8217;s names.  But that didn&#8217;t stop them from welcoming me.  As I jumped right into a couple of different conversations and enjoyed some laughs.
It&#8217;s held every Saturday morning in the parking lot of Kenny&#8217;s Donuts.  But be careful.  Because it&#8217;s a Kenny&#8217;s Donuts in Placentia.
Naturally, Kenny&#8217;s Donuts is open and serving fresh java, donuts, and more.  And even feel comfortable bringing our family&#8217;s four-legged friend to the show.
Our dog, Mr. Jake, can be quite sensitive to rumbling motors.  But this is pretty laid back.  It&#8217;s just off of Orangethorpe Avenue.  And maybe a mile-ish from the 90/91 intersection.

Donuts And Dipsticks | Saturdays | Placentia, CA

Cars and Coffee Corona is right off the 91.  And the IHOP that shares the parking lot provides hot coffee.  Plus full sit-down breakfast if you like.
The show is easy to get to and just a couple miles from where the 91 and I-15 intersect.  So, with all the nearby shopping, it&#8217;s an easy stop while you&#8217;re out checking off your honey-do list. :0)
The parking lot is shared with a strip of businesses next to the IHOP.  And parking encircles that business strip.  So, there&#8217;s plenty of room.
It&#8217;s a casual show where you might find anything on display.  When I stopped by notable cars included an &#8217;05/&#8217;06 Ford GT, lime green Lambo and a very cool modern custom replica Cobra.
A few hot rods that looked like they were done.  And a decent amount of project cars that are still &#8216;under construction.&#8217;
Plus the crazy military vehicle pictured below.  That has rear tracks with front wheels and some sort of rolling pin on the front.

Cars And Coffee Corona | Saturdays | Corona, CA

Caffeine Cruisers is an authentic Cars and Coffee event.
It&#8217;s super-casual.  And it offers an eclectic mix of hot rods and customs.  But also I&#8217;ve seen Audi R8 Spiders and a Cobra replica.
Plus a couple of custom VW Beetles.  One with a Hemi stuffed inside and another with nitrous-oxide!
All car guys, gals, and rides are welcome. There&#8217;s nobody directing traffic or selling t-shirts.
But everyone seems to know each other.  And they&#8217;re all super-friendly.  As well as ready to talk cars well past the 10 AM cut-off.
So, the location is a strip mall at the corner of Hawthorne and Artesia.  And it&#8217;s technically in Torrance.  But it&#8217;s right on the border of Redondo Beach.
There was a Starbucks in the strip mall. But it closed.  So, when attending this show be sure to bring your own caffeine! :0)

Caffeine Cruisers Torrance Cars And Coffee - white hot rod VW Beatle with Hemi

Caffeine Cruisers Cars & Coffee | Saturdays | Torrance, CA

Cypress Cars And Coffee events take place at Kimmie&#8217;s Coffee Cup on the first Saturdays of each month.  When I swung by in May there were a bunch of hot rods, muscle cars, and customs including a cool Hudson lowrider.
Some of the attendees were lawnchair-lounging and clearly hanging out for the duration.  And some were in and out.  Of course, everyone is ready to chat about cars.  Plus I overheard some friendly political chatter.
Although I&#8217;ve never eaten Kimmie&#8217;s the food looked great.  And when you attend be sure you go to the Kimmie&#8217;s in Cypress!  Because there are a few Kimmie&#8217;s Coffee Cups in Southern California.  So it&#8217;s the Cypress location that has the C&amp;C.

Cypress Cars And Coffee Plum Crazy Purple Road Runner

Cypress Cars And Coffee | 1st Saturdays Monthly | Kimmie’s

Conejo Valley Cars &amp; Coffee takes place on the first Saturday monthly.  And it&#8217;s founder, Craig Casey, created the event for &#8220;the car guy/gal in all of us.&#8221;
This informal get-together where you can talk cars, drink coffee, and show off your ride every first and third Saturday of the month from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
It&#8217;s been 6-years  running, and Casey contributes that to the people. He is a classic car guy who loves the sound of a fine-tuned machine and the smell of racing fuel. This is the perfect opportunity to show off beautiful cars without investing an entire day at a car show.
Hot cars and hot coffee, there&#8217;s nothing better than that! This is an event you surely won&#8217;t want to miss.

Conejo Valley Cars & Coffee | 1st Saturdays | Westlake

The Good Times Block Party takes place monthly at the Cambra Speed Shop in Orange, California.  It&#8217;s held on the first Saturdays of each month in association with <a href="https://www.blacktopmagazine.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blacktop Magazine</a>.
Fast, custom hot rods are everywhere.  When I was there in May there were also a couple of dragsters.  And, the shop clearly had much of its own work on display.  But it&#8217;s pretty sweet work, to say the least.
And the event is a feast for the automotive eyes but the ears as well!  Because some serious engine rapping and rumbling could be heard intermittently.  Of course, that also included the sweet smell of high-octane, forget-the-emissions exhaust fumes wafting through the air &#8211; from time to time. :0)

A Brunch of Cars is a weekly cars and coffee event that takes place in Valencia.  In fact, it&#8217;s every Saturday.  And it starts just as another nearby weekly event, <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/event/cars-and-coffee-valencia-saturdays-santa-clarita/all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valencia Cars And Coffee</a>, is ending.
This one is newer as of my first visit on April 24th.  There was a good turnout, with loads of Mopars on hand.  Specifically Dodges.  With a heavy accent on Challengers, followed closely behind was Chargers.
To be clear everyone is welcome.  As well as all cars are welcome too.  And there were other vehicles in attendance when I visited.  But it made sense when I popped into the <a href="https://www.rusticburgerhouse.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rustic Burger House</a>, and learned that a Mopar Club is part of the event.
BTW &#8211; great breakfast burrito at the Rustic Burger House!

A Brunch Of Cars Valencia | Saturdays | Rustic Burger

South Orange County Cars &amp; Coffee
The South OC Cars And Coffee events were started sometime after the legendary Irvine events were shut down.  And this one definitely filled an unmet need.
Because it quickly out-grew the original location and now hosts between 500 and 600 cars weekly.  And if your vehicle has wheels and a motor, it sounds like it&#8217;s welcome here.
Common sights include supers, hypers, muscle, classics, rods, trucks, and motorcycles.  But, of course, you don&#8217;t have to bring a car to put on display.  Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow car guys and gals.
And speaking of that&#8230; in case you haven&#8217;t connected the dots yet.  Here&#8217;s the perfect opportunity to get your non-car-loving partner to a cool show.  Because the show ends exactly one-hour after the outlet stores open.

South OC Cars And Coffee | Saturdays | San Clemente

The Classic Car Meet happens in Diamond Bar once monthly.  And it&#8217;s held at Weinerschnitzel on the first Saturday of each month.
So, when I attended in May there were hot rods and customs.  But also a lot of American muscle.  And that muscle didn&#8217;t seem to have a lot of custom aftermarket work done to them.
Also in attendance was a cool red Mustang.  Probably a &#8217;90&#8217;s version.  It was hard to tell for sure because it was covered in Lighting McQueen decals.  And that was cool.  Someone had a new Corvette C8 parked front and center too.  That stuck out because of what it is plus the color.  It was that &#8216;Bubble Gum Blue&#8217; that I personally love.

Classic Car Meet | 1st Saturdays Monthly | Diamond Bar

Poway Cruisers Saturday Monthly Cruise-In is hosted by its namesake car club.  The club started in 2006.  But many of the cars owned by the club&#8217;s members have been around long before.
Fred A. alerted us of the club&#8217;s monthly cruise-in, we haven&#8217;t made it out just yet.  The club itself sounds like a great group of fun-loving automotive enthusiasts who love having a good time with their cars.
The Poway Cruisers Saturday Monthly Cruise-In is free.  And all types of cars, as well as all types of car-lovers, are welcome.  Plus the timing is pretty good, considering the monthly event starts at 11 AM.  And it takes place at In-And-Out in Poway&#8230; so your monthly burger &#8216;fix&#8217; is kind of built-in. :0)

Poway Cruisers Saturday Monthly Cruise-In | In-And-Out

Cars and Coffee Chino Hills  is a super-casual and relaxed event.  Taking place every Sunday it features a mix of muscle, hot rods, customs, antiques, and, newer vehicles.  Anything and everything is welcome and on display.  And it doesn&#8217;t matter if the car is finished and perfect or a project-in-the-works.  I noticed a few for sale signs on the cars there too.
Automotive chit-chat is nearly impossible to avoid.  Everyone is talking up the scene and enjoying each other&#8217;s company.
If you&#8217;re in the area or feel like making a drive, this is a great show to hit.

Green 1969 Barracuda for Muscles And Mojo at The Murphy Auto Museum

Muscles And Mojo | 1st And 3rd Sundays | Oxnard, CA

Crazy Fish Cars And Coffee brings out a mix of vehicles and automotive enthusiasts.
Hot rods, classics, and antiques are mixed in with newer sports cars.  I spotted a gorgeous and immaculate Desoto when I last stopped by.
Crazy Fish serves breakfast burritos.  And its in a strip mall with a grocery store and Starbucks.  So, all the ingredients are there for a great Sunday morning car meet.
There are around 30-ish cars there.  And it&#8217;s very informal.  But everyone is friendly and chatty.  Just like your typical C&amp;C.
This one is in the South Bay.  And it&#8217;s up on the hill.  San Pedro is the address but it&#8217;s on the edge of Rancho Palos Verdes.

Crazy Fish Cars And Coffee | Sundays | San Pedro, CA

Hot Rods at the Beach, in SoCal, is in Seal Beach.  So don&#8217;t confuse it with the one in Santa Cruz.
And as soon as I arrived I loved it.  This cars and coffee event is intimate.  Most attendees bring lawn chairs.  They park, sit, share commentary and, stories.
Like Bob pictured below.  He&#8217;s a retired fireman.  And he&#8217;s a former racer.  Rumor has it he&#8217;s in the Guinness Book of World Records.
And that hot rod pictured behind him is his.  It&#8217;s a 1932 Ford 5-window coupe.  Apparently, he pulled it out of the desert.  After he found it decaying without a motor and many other parts.
Bob says he remembers the model year of his car because it&#8217;s the same year he was born.  And both the driver and his car are in great shape!
Most everyone seems to know each other at Hot Rods At The Beach.  But, like all others, it&#8217;s a very welcoming C&amp;C.  And while it&#8217;s mostly hot rods.  The guys marvel at exotics when they come rolling in.
And that&#8217;s something I love about car-people.  Everyone seems to marvel at everyone else&#8217;s cars. Cool &#8211; huh?
I&#8217;ll definitely be back to this one.  And you should check it out too.

Hot Rods At The Beach | Sunday Mornings | Seal Beach, CA

Escondido Cars and Coffee events offer something I haven&#8217;t seen at any other C&amp;C.  Shade!
Yes, if you get there early enough.  Displaying your vehicle under a canopy of shade is possible.  And that&#8217;s pretty sweet &#8211; for Southern California.
It&#8217;s a newer and more intimate C&amp;C.  But Kile Broadway and his band of organizers want to grow it.  And EVERYONE is welcome!
Also, all cars are welcome too.  Classics, antiques, muscle, exotics, trucks, tuners, hot rods, and under-constructions &#8211; everything. :0)
Since it&#8217;s held at Kit Carson Park the event is even more family-friendly than most.  Because the park has a playground.  Plus hiking/walking trails.  And shaded picnic tables.

Escondido Cars And Coffee | Sundays | Escondido, CA

Chihuahua Car Meet Up is a cars and coffee type event taking place every Sunday.  It takes place right in front of the Chihuahua restaurant in Newport Beach.  And it&#8217;s on the Balboa Penisula so it&#8217;s busy but beachy fun too.
The display lineup is intimate.  Perhaps there&#8217;s room for up to 40-cars.  But the cars that are on display are all sweet.  If you want to display I&#8217;d suggest getting there early.  Because they have the display parking spaces blocked with stanchions.
This event has a neighborhood vibe for sure.  But they&#8217;re car guys and gals so it&#8217;s a welcoming and inclusive feel.  Plus the friendly wait staff is ready to keep you fed.  And better yet, the coffee is on the house.

Chihuahua Car Meet Up | Sundays | Newport Beach

Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee events were back &#8211; until 3/6/21.  That&#8217;s when attendees saw sandwich boards like the one pictured above everywhere.  And it&#8217;s a real shame too because the picture below shows tons of people enjoying the event.
But keep reading!  Because you have lots of Cars And Coffee options!
<div id="attachment_20307" style="width: 937px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20307" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-20307" src="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd.jpg" alt="Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee Canceled - crowd" width="927" height="696" srcset="//cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd.jpg 927w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-300x225.jpg 300w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-768x577.jpg 768w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Crystal-Cove-Cars-And-Coffee-Canceled-crowd-610x458.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px" />Crystal Cove canceled effective Marth 13th, 2021</div>
Here&#8217;s the backstory; in October of last year, I was alerted that Crystal Cove had started up again.  It had <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/history-of-cars-coffee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously been running for a while</a> and shut down, restarted, and shut down again.  So I made my way out and it was great.  There were loads of cars.  And they were mostly sweet collector cars.  However, being in Newport Beach, California, there were also plenty of exotics and high-value oddities too.
<h3>October 2020 &#8211; Crystal Cove</h3>
And at that time, only a third of the parking lot was being used for display cars.  So you could literally be the jerk that takes-up spaces parking the car you drove there because it just wasn&#8217;t that busy.  To be clear, I&#8217;m not suggesting you do that!  Rather I&#8217;m highlighting the point &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t that busy, then.
<h3>March 2021 &#8211; Canceled</h3>
Fast-forward to February of 2021.  I noticed thousands of people searching iDriveSocal for info on Crystal Cove.  So, I decided it was time for another check-up on the event.  And, I made my way there Saturday, March 6th.  Ironically, it was the very date of the cancelation notices being posted.
<h2>What Happened To Crystal Cove C&amp;C?</h2>
In short, it got too big.  It was always loosely organized.  No official website.  And no social media channels that I&#8217;m aware of.  Sadly, I think iDriveSoCal might have contributed to the problem of the event getting too big.  And that was definitely an unintended consequence.
<h2>What Now That Crystal Cove Cars And Coffee Is Gone?</h2>
But where do all the car guys and gals go on Saturday mornings now that Crystal Cove is canceled?  Well here&#8217;s what you can do:

Cars and Coffee Villa Park is another intimate event with a great mix of vehicles and a super-friendly crowd.
Everyone and every vehicle are welcome.  Rods, customs, exotics, muscle &#8211; all genres are represented.  There was even a 1956 BMW Isetta.  You know, those odd 3-wheelers with a single door in the front of the vehicle that opens.
Plus the location is great.  Because it takes place at a neighborhood coffee shop.  But it&#8217;s also in the Villa Park Town Center.  And that offers convenient shopping so you can check out cars and run some errands.

Cars And Coffee Villa Park | 2nd Sundays | Orange County

Malibu Cars And Coffee events are at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Malibu Canyon Road sits Malibu Bluffs Park.
<div class='et-box et-info'>
					<div class='et-box-content'> Malibu Cars &amp; Coffee is currently POSTPONED until further notice &#8211; due to COVID-19.</div></div>
And twice a month one of the coolest cars and coffee events in Southern California takes place.
Because the setting alone is breathtaking.  So, amazing cars showing up is nearly secondary to the venue itself.
And while many cars and coffee events get shooed from one venue to another, this one has the City of Malibu itself behind it.  So, it&#8217;s managed to hold-fast for a number of years now.
Additionally, the park even has wi-fi available to the public.  (I don&#8217;t know anyone that&#8217;s used it but it just seems noteworthy.)
And oh yeah, what&#8217;s cooler than cruising PCH on a gorgeous Sunday morning?

Route 66 East Valley Car Show - 4th Annual logo

Route 66 East Valley Car Show | June 13, 2021 | Pomona

Gas &amp; Glaze Cars And Coffee is a new Saturday morning car meet in La Puente at Fresh Donuts.  And that&#8217;s located south of West Covina and north of Hacienda Heights.
The event started in March of 2021.  All types of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and creations are welcome.  And I highlight &#8216;creations&#8217; because when I went I met Ed.  He&#8217;s pictured above with his semi-tractor.
<div id="attachment_20380" style="width: 937px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20380" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-20380" src="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht.jpg" alt="Gas &amp; Glaze Cars And Coffee - red mini-rig nex to classic land-yacht" width="927" height="696" srcset="//cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht.jpg 927w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-300x225.jpg 300w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-768x577.jpg 768w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Gas-Glaze-Cars-And-Coffee-red-mini-rig-nex-to-classic-land-yacht-610x458.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px" />Custom mini-semi-tractor next to a&#8230; &#8217;60&#8217;s Chevelle &#8211; I think.</div>
&nbsp;
And, the picture is in no way altered.  Because Ed is standing next to his 100% homemade semi-tractor creation.  He even made the frame!  So it turns out Ed&#8217;s made a number of these creations.  Red, mini, totally custom, semi-tractors.  He&#8217;s a retired auto mechanic and is happy to talk about his truck.  Because he&#8217;s actually made four or five similar trucks!
Gas &amp; Glaze C&amp;C isn&#8217;t immediately off any surrounding highways but it&#8217;s easy to get to.  A SoCal native named Mike started the event.  And he&#8217;s committed to growing a regular crowd for the gathering.
Finally, I brought a couple of Fresh Donuts home for my toddler son and me to enjoy.  And we give their donut recipe two-thumbs-up each&#8230; so, four thumbs-up. :0)

Caffeine Cruisers is an authentic Cars and Coffee event.
It&#8217;s super-casual.  And it offers an eclectic mix of hot rods and customs.  But also I&#8217;ve seen Audi R8 Spiders and a Cobra replica.
Plus a couple of custom VW Beetles.  One with a Hemi stuffed inside and another with nitrous-oxide!
All car guys, gals, and rides are welcome. There&#8217;s nobody directing traffic or selling t-shirts.
But everyone seems to know each other.  And they&#8217;re all super-friendly.  As well as ready to talk cars well past the 10 AM cut-off.
So, the location is a strip mall at the corner of Hawthorne and Artesia.  And it&#8217;s technically in Torrance.  But it&#8217;s right on the border of Redondo Beach.
There was a Starbucks in the strip mall. But it closed.  So, when attending this show be sure to bring your own caffeine! :0)

The Fountain Valley Classic Car And Truck Show is the official name.  And it was officially canceled for 2020 due to COVID.
But even that doesn&#8217;t fully describe everything that&#8217;s on display at the annual show.  Because this year organizers are adding vintage trailers, a tuner row plus, vintage motorcycles, mini-bikes, and scooters.  And all of that is in addition to the standard classics, customs, and rods.
Gourmet trucks will offer food in the dining area.  Additionally, a new Kids Zone will make the entire event even more family-friendly.  That will include a bounce house, balloon artist, and facing painting.
Plus live entertainment will keep the groove going and Celebrity Kustoms John D&#8217; Agostino will serve as this year&#8217;s Grand Marshall.  And he&#8217;ll even be signing autographs.
Because lots of awards are up for winning you probably will want to <a href="http://www.fvcarshow.com/blog/?page_id=34" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">register your wheels</a> early to reserve a spot.

But they a great mix of vehicles on display.  There was even an antique commercial truck from the &#8217;30s.  And a couple of antique trucks that had been immaculately customized.

Saturday Shift Cars And Coffee | Every 3rd Saturday Monthly
Saturday Shift Cars And Coffee is held at a strip mall on Pacific Coast Highway in Torrance, California.  But don&#8217;t let the &#8216;strip mall&#8217; thing fool you.  It&#8217;s a good one.
<div class='et-box et-info'>
					<div class='et-box-content'> Saturday Shift is postponed until further notice &#8211; due to COVID-19.</div></div>
Because Ferrari South Bay hosts the event at Cafe Tre Venezie.  So, an Italian supercar dealership plays host to this cars and coffee event at an Italian coffee shop.  That&#8217;s cool! :0)
And yes, the coffee is authentic Italian and quite awesome.  But better yet, coffee and biscotti are free courtesy of <a href="https://ferrarisouthbay.com/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari South Bay</a>.  (Thanks guys!)
Additionally, it&#8217;s free to attend and display your vehicle.  However, if you&#8217;re planning to display your ride they request that you <a href="https://www.saturdayshift.com/register" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">register first</a>.
Also, if your ride isn&#8217;t a supercar that&#8217;s totally cool.  Because all makes and models are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
Although, their website does seem to encourage the display of Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Bugatti, McLaren, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, and BMW.
<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-14189 aligncenter" src="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Saturday-Shift-pic.jpg" alt="Saturday Shift pic" width="357" height="238" srcset="//cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Saturday-Shift-pic.jpg 640w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Saturday-Shift-pic-300x200.jpg 300w, //cms.idrivesocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Saturday-Shift-pic-610x406.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px" />

Saturday Shift Cars And Coffee | *POSTPONED* 3rd Saturday Monthly | Torrance, CA

Grand Terrace Cars &amp; Coffee is an intimate monthly car meet in San Bernardino County.
But don&#8217;t there are some serious road (and track) machines on display.  Hot rods, customs, antiques, and muscle all had impressive representation.
There was a gorgeous Cobra that might have been an original.  But because I couldn&#8217;t find the owner I didn&#8217;t know for certain.
And I got their early.  But there was one new Dodge muscle car on display as well.

Grand Terrace Cars & Coffee | 3rd Saturdays Monthly

This was a cool show while it lasted.  But some powerful forces in Malibu seemingly wiped it out of existence.  Too bad.
<div class='et-box et-info'>

The Wheels &amp; Waves Car Show is family-friendly fun.  And pet-friendly fun too.  You can consider it a Cars and Coffee event.
Happening the 3rd Sunday of every month at Malibu&#8217;s Country Mart.  It&#8217;s a great location to grab coffee and breakfast before or during the event.
After the show, you can cross PCH to Malibu Lagoon State Beach.  And when it&#8217;s lunchtime you can head back to the Country Mart.
There, you&#8217;re sure to find lots of automotive enthusiasts still mulling about and enjoying car-camaraderie.
Bringing a wide variety of hot rides the show is kept lively with music, narration, and prizes.  Taking place in Malibu, you never know what celebrities might show up.
Also, the values of the cars on display at Wheels &amp; Waves are impressive, to say the least.  Customs, hotrods, old and new muscle, and exotics are near guaranteed to be there in force.

Wheels & Waves Car Show | *CANCELED* | Malibu

Riverside Cars And Coffee has been rockin&#8217; since 2017.  The same year we started iDriveSoCal!
And while COVID canceled the event for quite a while, it&#8217;s coming back in full force.  Because the event is hosted by J&amp;M Speed Center some serious rides are on hand.  But everyone is welcome.  So you don&#8217;t have to be a lover of just hot rods or off-roaders or muscle or racers or anything in-between.
And yes, all cars are welcome at Riverside Cars And Coffee too!  As always, strict rules of respecting the location are to be abided by.  No burnouts, loud tunes, engine revving, or excessive speed coming in o out.  Although donuts are always welcome, only the kind you dunk in your coffee! :0)
Also, space can be tight so please park accordingly.  No taking up four parking spaces with one car!

Classic red VW Micro-Bus Truck at Cruisin' Brea Classic Car Show

Cruisin’ Brea Classic Car Show | June 20th, 2021 | Brea, CA

The Rodeo Drive Concours d&#8217;Elegance is a Father&#8217;s Day tradition for many Southern Californians.  And COVID canceled the show last year.  However, it&#8217;s back for 2021!  Or, at least, in a slightly different form.
So, the event is being altered into what organizers are referring to as a &#8216;Tour d&#8217;Elegance.&#8217;  And of course, this is to mitigate large crowds gathering.  Because the annual event attracts more than 30,000 car-lovers and Father&#8217;s Day celebrators.
To be clear the &#8216;<a href="https://www.lovebeverlyhills.com/events/view/2021-tour-d-elegance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tour&#8217; is also being described as a slow-moving rally.  Also known as a parade.</a> :0)  But there will be no marching bands or fire trucks &#8211; that we&#8217;re aware of anyway.
The good news is that the 27-year-old Rodeo Drive Concours d&#8217;Elegance will go on for 2021!
The tour will cover 2.8-miles.  And it will start at the Petersen Automotive Museum and come to an end at Beverly Hills City Hall.
There will be about 50-vehicles in the procession.  And vehicles are planned to come from around the country as well as the world.  Plus celebs, media folks, and political types will be waving to the crowds throughout the route.

Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, Tour | Father’s Day 2021 | Beverly Hills

Coffee And Cars Westlake Village is an event hosted by The Ranch Car Club.  It takes place on the fourth Saturday of each month.  And it&#8217;s held at The Shoppes At Westlake Village.
So yeah, nice rides are on display.  And hot rods, classics, exotics and collector cars are all welcome.  Moreover, all of those categories were represented when I swung by.
However, I also heard, then spotted, a couple of tuned scooters pulling in.  And they would up parking in the display lineup!  Which, perhaps that was a mistake.  Nevertheless, they were there.

Coffee And Cars Westlake Village | 4th Saturdays Monthly

Manhattan Beach Cars And Coffee events are lightly organized.  And, like the city, they&#8217;re named for they&#8217;re quite laid back.
They are the last Saturday&#8217;s of each month.  And, they take place on the fringe of Manhattan Beach in El Segundo.  Specifically in the parking lot of The Point shopping destination.  So, it&#8217;s a handy spot to check out some cool cars and run weekend errands too. :0)
And like most C&amp;Cs it offers a good mix of vehicles.  But whether it&#8217;s intended or not.  There&#8217;s a lot of Ferrari&#8217;s on display &#8211; mostly newer ones.
Plus, there are a lot of cool older cars on display too.  Like the gawk-worthy BMW Isetta with a front door that opens.  And a convertible Rolls-Royce and an antique VW pickup.

Manhattan Beach Cars And Coffee | El Segundo, CA

Silverado Cars &amp; Coffee
It&#8217;s nestled in the Santa Ana Mountains in eastern Orange County.  The unincorporated community of Silverado Canyon plays host to the Silverado Cars and Coffee events.
Taking place the last Sunday of every month.  And, at the Silverado Canyon Market.  This C&amp;C  welcomes all comers.  So bring your immaculate McClaren or your project Yugo.
Specialty coffee is available.  And donuts are too.  But hey, don&#8217;t do any donuts!  Cause you know, it&#8217;s not the place.  No matter how sweet your car is for doing them! :0)
All joking aside.  Please behave behind the wheel!  At all cars and coffee events.

Silverado Cars And Coffee | Monthly | Orange County, CA

Highway Earth Auto Show
The Highway Earth Auto Show is Evan Klein&#8217;s brainchild and baby.  Because Evan is both a car lover and an automotive photographer.
What&#8217;s very special about the annual Highway Earth Auto Show is the location.  While Franklin Canyon Park is a Beverly Hills address, you wouldn&#8217;t know you&#8217;re there from the pictures alone.
So, the park sits on 605 acres between the center of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.  There are lots of hiking trails a duck pond and even a lake.  Plus lots of picnic areas.
And all of that sets the stage for a very unique picturesque car show.  One that literally takes place in the 90210 Zip Code &#8211; surprisingly.
This show is really all about the camaraderie of automotive enthusiasts who also appreciate the beauty of nature.  And each year Evan makes sure the crew takes a group show toward the end of the show.
It&#8217;s a gorgeous setting and a very laid back and relaxed show with great car guys and gals.  Our coverage of last year&#8217;s event is <a href="https://cms.idrivesocal.com/highway-earth-car-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>.
