I always consider the first weekend in April the “official” start of the Central Ohio car show season. Some may argue it starts in March but I consider those March events to be more like a Preseason.

Here is the first weekly list of Central Ohio events for the 2021 season. These weekly lists will be posted on Monday or Tuesday from now until the end of November.

News and Notes:

On Friday evening, both the inaugural Marysville Muscle Cruise-In and Spring Car and Bike Show at Tony’s Bar and Grill in London, Ohio had good turnouts for early season shows.

The Spring show in London registered around 45 vehicles. The Best of Show award went to this Ghost Busters-themed Dodge Challenger.

Due to the recent behavior of some attendees, the organizers of Cars and Coffee at Lennox Town Center have decided to CANCEL the Saturday morning meets indefinitely. They hope to be back in the fall with new plans. Here’s their Facebook post. There are always some bad actors that spoil the fun for everyone.

The Richwood bank held its inaugural cars and coffee cruise-in on Saturday morning.   The bank which is located at 1512 W. William Street (Rt 36) in Delaware, Ohio plans to host the cars and coffee on the first Saturday of each month through October. Cruise-in time is from 9 AM to 12 noon. There is no registration fee.

This Saturday a Ghostbuster replica car parked in front of the bank helped call attention to the cruise-in.

Chad Hoffman, president and CEO of Richwood Bank was on hand to serve coffee and greet customers. The cruise-in also included free giveaways and train rides. The lobby even has a pinball machine for anyone so inclined to play a game or two.

The morning started out slow but by the end 22 classic and muscle car owners stopped by to enjoy a cup of coffee and talk cars.  Not bad for the first event.  Hopefully as word gets out, more cars will join the festivities in the coming months.

I originally planned to stop by the Last Friday Cruise-in, but after cleaning my car all day and a threat of showers in the area,  I decided to spend Friday evening at home.

Saturday's weather was much improved so the first stop of the day was at Columbus Cars and Coffee at the Lennox Town Center.

This was my fourth visit this year to the Saturday morning cruise-in.  Attendance was down a little from previous visits.  I'm guessing the holiday weekend had something to do with this.

I counted three Cadillac CTS-V that made an appearance.  Here are two of them.

Columbus Cars and Coffee crowd

Saturday morning I decide to make the trek down 315 and attend Columbus Cars and Coffee at Lennox Town Center. The unseasonably warm weather not only brought out a lot of car owners but also a lot of spectators. By 10 AM the parking lot was buzzing with people.  By my unofficial count, more than 120 cars turned out for this week's cruise-in.

I have to admit I really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Columbus Cars and Coffee. You tend to see cars that you wouldn't normally see at a "judged" car show. This Saturday was no exception. The morning featured a nice mix of classic, late-model, and modified cars. Read more
