Columbus Cars and Coffee will have a big presence at the 2020 Columbus International Auto Show!

Our booth has roughly doubled in size since 2019, which means we can display even more cars, and increase the space in between the cars and the barricades.

If you would like to display your car(s) in the booth, please fill out the form below. We will select cars and notify the owners in early February!

You've probably seen him on YouTube on his popular channel, or maybe you worked with him during his time at Lamborghini Atlanta, or perhaps you just heard about his 28 hour, 50 minute cannonball record drive from NY to LA.

In any case, you probably know about Ed Bolian!

Ed is coming to New Albany on Tuesday, January 14 for a meet-and-greet, as well as the reveal of his newly-restored Ferrari F430 Scuderia, which has just been completely refreshed by ESOTERIC.

Last night, we were honored to be part of a new event benefitting Nationwide Children's Hospital called Cars and Conversation: An Evening with Dale Earnhardt Jr.

This event had one goal; raise funds for the Dale and Any Earnhardt Fund at the hospital to support patients and their families.

We were pleased to have a strong showing of Columbus Cars and Coffee regulars in attendance, and we coordinated a display of cars from our community for the event. In addition, we hosted some of our own guests and assisted with the silent auction by connecting the hospital with Jay Leno's Garage.

The evening was highly successful, raising tens of thousands of dollars, and guests had a great time listening to Dale Jr. tell stories from his racing and post-racing careers. Dale is a kind, generous, and down-to-Earth person, and everyone enjoyed spending the evening with him!

Thanks to Nationwide Insurance, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Chuck Ungurean, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. for making this evening possible!

We always love spending time at ESOTERIC in New Albany. Between their excellent hospitality, the incredible cars they have around, and the enthusiasm they have for our community, what's not to love? 

Our September Meet was no different, and Todd, Zack, Dan, and their colleagues put together a fine display of Lamborghinis, including the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Aventador SV, and the Aventador Roadster, along with a new 992 generation Porsche 911 inside!

Byers Imports also sent a 992 generation Porsche 911, and Lindsay Acura showed off their extremely limited edition Acura TLX PMC Edition (Car number 99 of 360)!

We invited our friends from The Roosevelt Coffeehouse to serve some delicious coffee and our hosts served pastries from Fox in the Snow.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a rainy, but still fun, Saturday morning, our last summer meet of Season 11!

The Arena District is one of our favorite locations for a car meet.

​Thanks to Nationwide, we were able to host our fourth annual meet on Nationwide Boulevard and West Street!

Thanks to the hundreds of people who came and were a part of this special morning. It was our first Sunday meet in many years, and the weather couldn't have been better. The live music from Hurricane Jerry and The Surge set the tone for a fantastic morning. 

We're fortunate to partner with Nationwide because they offer special expertise and coverage options for collector cars. To learn more, click here!

The July Meet, presented by Huntington Bank, attracted an impressive array of cars despite record-level heat! This was the hottest weather we have ever experienced at a meet, but that did not stop us. Thanks again to Patty, Jordan, Rob, and the rest of the Huntington Bank team for hosting such a fantastic gathering! To see more photos, find us on Instagram!

Exotics on Scioto Mile, our annual exotics-only car show on the Rich Street Bridge, just continues to get better each year. This is, by far, our largest event of the season in terms of turnout, with thousands of people coming to the Scioto Mile area to see our display of cars.

Thanks to Acura, Nationwide, Huntington Bank, Byers Imports, ESOTERIC, and Lindsay Acura for sponsoring our season and making events like this possible. We also want to thank Milestone 229, the Columbus Division of Police, and our amazing volunteers for their roles in pulling off a great evening in downtown Columbus!
