Welcome to the automotive podcast that knows Cars and Coffee

This week, we’re shifting gears to spotlight the community builders who make Central Illinois car culture thrive!  We welcome Preston Lutton and Jacob Walker, the driving forces behind Cental Illinois Cars & Coffee.

Welcome Preston Lutton and Jacob Walker!

We discuss their passion for bringing car enthusiasts together and the effort that goes into each monthly meetup. We also hear about their personal journeys and get an exclusive preview of what’s coming for Cars & Coffee in 2025.

Eric also takes us on a surprising detour through Mexico’s streets, where Chinese automotive brands like Chery, VinFast, and BYD are making unexpected inroads, while Daryl updates us on his ongoing adventures with his Plymouth Fury, and Cadillac projects, and how a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 slipped through his hands.

Whether you’re a regular at Cars & Coffee events or curious about joining the community, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people who turn a simple concept—cars and coffee—into unforgettable gatherings.
