Blackhawk Museum Cars & Coffee: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM First Sunday of Month

Thanks for the info Brian A. I personally would've preferred if they kept it all automotive since I'm a car nut, but the Old West display should be pretty interesting to see. I remember back in the 90's they still had the same automotive section, but also had some sort of natural history exhibit. I remember some displays on dinosaurs and other animals, plus they had a kids play/learning area.

 

Put this one in your scrapbook. I saw the motorcycle cop give a siren to, and stop a bicyclist. She just kept on truckin' for a long time while the intermittent siren was going; I guess she couldn't believe the noise was for her. I wasn't paying that much attention, but I don't think she got a ticket.

And the upstairs 'Western settlement' - 'Indians' display was open & interesting.

 

The next meet coming up this Sunday! As Brian A pointed out, it rained the night before for the one in March, which might have affected the turnout. Looks like we have potential rain in the forecast for Sunday too, plus it's Easter. I wonder how good the turnout will be? Anyone planning on going?

 

Huge turn out this morning!!!

 

I heard they were filming parts of an episode for Chasing Classic Cars out there today. Anyone seen Wayne Carini?

 

Wayne in the flesh...

Yes, I got to meet him! Pretty cool. I had no idea he was gonna be out there until I started talking to some other car owners at the meet. Afterwards, they were filming inside of the Blackhawk Museum. First time I've ever seen all the ropes taken down around the cars. People were walking right up to, around, and between the cars. Barry Meguiar was also supposed to be out there as well. Did anyone see him?

 

I know it's a little far out time wise, but will there be a meet July 4th?

I'll be in California that weekend, and I missed this event the past time I was in the area; I didn't want to miss it a second time.

 

First Sunday of EVERY month!

 

Still scheduled for August?

 

I'm thinking about going. Anyone else?

 

I'm bringing my "new to me" E-Type...

 

I lusted after the unrestored '71 Fiat 2.4l Dino Spider with 18k miles. I'm glad the rain held out.

Was the 330 Silver in color and parked along the main entrance? If so, then that row of cars came from the Candy Store in Burlingame.

Always a great gathering of unique people and their cars...

 

Good turnout. Everyone seemed pretty well behaved at least during the period I was there. Amazed at how early it fills up and always surprised there atent more Lamborghinis.

 

I think people arrived an hour earlier than normal due to the change from DST to Standard

 

We showed up with the family, F drivers were definitely spread out. They claim 700 cars from Blackhawk. Pretty amazing and nice showing. Some crazy Bimmer and Stang fighting for a parking spot and cut us off with our family, other than that a good spot for family.

 

Anyone go this morning 3/6/16? I was planning on going, but something else came up. I was thinking that attendance might be small as it was raining pretty hard up until early this morning. I was curious on how the turnout was.

 

Bxtech, you didn't miss much. very very very small turnout. No ferraris, only one R8 for exotics goes. About 40 cars. Some came in and turned around and left, and then it rained for 10min which killed it. I heard it was the smallest turned out to date.

 

Thanks for the info BLACK HORSE. Wow, 40 cars?...that definitely was a small turnout. Even in the beginning when they just started this CnC, they had around 70-90 cars. Now I don't feel so bad about missing this one today. Next month hopefully the weather will be better as I plan on making it.

BTW, in case you or anyone else is interested, the first Cars and Croissants meet at Santana Row is coming up on 3/26. That is always a good turnout, providing it doesn't rain.

 

I was going to go as well, but like others, the rain killed it for me.
