Every third Saturday of the month, the parking lot adjacent to Bank of America and across from Woody’s restaurant in Grand Terrace, California, transforms into a bustling automotive hub. What began as a modest gathering has evolved into a vibrant monthly event, where vintage classics, contemporary marvels, and a diverse array of vehicles unite to celebrate car culture.
Originally a small meetup, Cars and Coffee has steadily increased in both participants and popularity. The event, which has become a staple in Grand Terrace, is on the verge of announcing a new, larger venue to accommodate its growing community. Each month, new faces and vehicles join the ranks, making it a prime spot for car enthusiasts to connect and share their passion.
Grand Terrace Cars and Coffee distinguishes itself with its inclusive approach. Unlike traditional car shows that often focus on competition or specific car categories, this event welcomes all types of vehicles. From impeccably restored antiques and high-performance supercars to muscle cars and electric vehicles, the event’s diversity fosters a lively environment where owners and enthusiasts engage in rich conversations, exchanging automotive stories and expertise.
As the event’s popularity continues to rise, organizers are considering expanding its offerings. Future plans may include themed gatherings, guest speakers from the automotive industry, and charitable initiatives supporting local causes. The overarching goal remains to celebrate automotive culture while contributing positively to the Grand Terrace community.
