Everybody knows aabout cars & coffee. The Sunday morning ritual is familar to Car Guys across America. But what about places where the 1%-ers live? They like cars too, so they have Cars & Croissants. Normally held in Chatham NJ (a haven for cardiologists, investment bankers, and other Wall St. types) Cars & Croissants is just like Cars & Coffee but for the Bentley/Ferrari crowd rather than the Camaro/Covette plebes.

Ferraris and Lamborghinis? Too many to count!

Current model 458 or recent model 430 Ferrari's were too pedestrian to even bother with. Same with Lamborghini Aventadors. It was only the older and more interesting models that were worthy of drawing attention. Like when Magnum P.I. pulled in:

Nissan GT-R's? Yep, about a half dozen of those.

(in fact, it took interesting window stickers and license plates to make such cars worth photographing):

There were several more exotic marques. WTH is an "Ultimate Aero?"

My personal favorites:

Yes, that last one is a Porsche 550 "James Dean Killer" replica. At least I assume it's a replica... you never know here.

There was even an "electric alley" with Nissan Leafs (really!?!?), a Tesla, a BMW iDrive, and this:

Vintage cars were represented reasonably well

I counted over 40 Ferraris, 15 Lamborghinis, 6 Lotus (including mine :-). Porsches, Corvettes, BMWs were too numerous to bother counting. There were several Bentleys, Rolls-Royce, and Maseratis on hand. This is not to say that there weren't a TON of interesting, and less pricey marques, like:

Quite an amazing gathering! I'll see how comparable it is when it's a more "normal" weekend held at Chatham HS.

Small world, you grew up in my home town! Here's a blast from the past, but do you remember Suvio's Pizza? Still there, still good.

Shelby Super Cars (no relation to Shelby American). Car's flippin fast too. An old article had the production numbers below 10.

I had the SL600 hiding in the back by a lot of the Porsches, next to a Camaro SS that sounded really mean.

I was there with a few M5 guys, wish we could have met up. What a great meet and turnout. Do you regularly attend this CandC?

I'll bet you a lot of money that that's the 550 replica from the CCC.

When I saw the preview of the comment in the drop down all I could see up to was "do you remember" and I was like, he's gonna say Suvio's.

Now I'm dieing a little inside because I haven't had Suvio's in over 7 years.

Used to walk up there all the time for lunch....and then after school. And then drive over there because the way I explain it to people out here in Michigan is Suvio's is SO DAMN GOOD, they don't NEED to deliver.

Suvios Pizza: feeding escaped Morristown High School kids since 1970-something. My daughter and her friend go there after school.

Regularly attend CandC? Now I will? This was my first go, though I meant to be there several times last year and life and weather got in the way.

I have several more photos. Will post in this thread later today. Some were actually in focus :-)

his license plate was pretty witty too, but I didn't post it because I know how touch people can be about plates on the internet. As if you couldn't see them in every parking lot.

I saw your SL600. Snapped some pictures of that Camaro.

I drove the Lotus Elise parked right by the Easternmost entrance. Black Type 72D in John Player Special color (gold wheels)

What year did you graduate from the high school? I'm from the class of 2009. Arguably the last of the good years.

Darn, my older sisters were before that even. Small world though. Suvio's still doesn't deliver, it's crazy. I haven't been there in a while, I think it's about time to fix that soon! I'll have an extra slice for you haha

Haven't been back in about 7 years now, I was such an over the top know it all when it came to classic cars, I was asked to be a judge at the Morristown Fall Festival Car Show once. Unfortunately I was away at Michigan State and couldn't do it. My dad did though.
