WAYNE, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Hundreds of car enthusiasts turned out Sunday morning for the Main Line Cars & Coffee show in Wayne, Pennsylvania, soaking in the roar of engines, the gleam of exotic cars, and the sense of community.
Silas, 7, and his older brother Mason, 15, were living their dream, imagining themselves behind the wheel as dozens of supercars, old and new, cruised by. From souped-up Corvettes to Ferraris, Mason said he’s ready to drive and already has his sights set on a favorite.
“I’m excited to drive soon,” he said. “Probably the green Rev alto; it catches my eye. That’s one of my favorite Lamborghis for sure.”
The event, founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by Brett Mezrow, has become a regional favorite raising money for charity while celebrating car culture.
"Over the course of five years, we’ve helped out a ton of charities. Right now we’ve been helping out the K-9 Swat unit charity," Mezrow said.
This year’s event benefits the Chester County K-9 SWAT unit. Mezrow said Cars & Coffee continues to thrill visitors.
We get everything from classics to exotics,” he said. “Some $3.5 million cars all the way to cars as old as 1906.”
Visitors were wowed by the sights and sounds.
"I have to say, I am impressed by some of the people, the different sounds they can make come out of their cars. It’s really interesting," said Tyler, a spectator.
Mike McGuire helped keep things safe and organized as cars rolled into the lot.
"Just trying to make it safe for everyone to have a family affair, you know," McGuire said.
Longtime car lovers like Kyle and his dad Roy, proudly displayed their 1967 Shelby GT 500 Mustang, a family treasure since 1977.
"It sure makes a statement," Kyle said.
The next Main Line Cars & Coffee event is scheduled for May 18.
