Thousands of auto enthusiasts came to downtown New Canaan Sunday for the return of Caffeine & Carburetors, the massively popular, local event that grew out of an initial gathering of just 50 cars four years ago at Zumbach’s Gourmet Coffee on Pine Street.
Gripping coffee cups, dog leashes, cellphone cameras and baby strollers, residents wandered along Pine and Elm Streets, where CERT volunteers, police and helpers from Zumbachs’ directed classic and specialty cars into and out of spaces for gearheads and causal fans alike.
Thanks to Phil and Jim at New Canaan Music for supplying this custom soundtrack to “Caffeine & Carburetors” in the video above.
The next installment of the event could be held in October at Waveny, pending more planning and town approvals.
