June 7: Cars & Coffee Blackhawk

Post by Alvin »

UPDATE:
***If you would like to park your DATSUN next to fellow roadster owners at the show you must arrive at Blackhawk by 7am Sunday morning. The kind folks hosting Cars & Coffee can hold our 20 spaces until 7:30am, then it's open to all. If you can't make it by 7am don't sweat it, this event is guarantee to blow your mind with over 600 cars anticipated! Park wherever you can and say Hello/Goodbye to Ken! I'll have final details tomorrow with South Bay caravan and East Bay details.***

Our friend and fellow roadster owner Ken Pletcher is moving out of California. We are trying to gather some Datsuns to park together at the next event, June 7. It will be Ken's last Cars & coffee event here and it would be nice to see lots of Datsuns/roadsters. Interested? Please reply to this thread and for more details:

Very nice pic of Ken's Datster with the color of the car and the tree leaves in background. Would love to attend but I am too far and
my car is in too many pieces at the moment anyway.

Please bring your roadster, it looks nice! It's Cars & Coffee, you don't need a "show car" to attend :D

I'll try to make it - have a school fund raiser the night before, so as long as a hangover does not strike ;-)

We had a great time at Cars and Coffee!
7 roadsters were there and big thanks to David Premo for reserving parking spots for all of the Datsuns!
We wanted to do Ken proud and have big showing of Datsuns before he moves to Seattle. mission accomplished :D

Francis' 67 SPL is gorgeous. This was the first low windshield car I had ever driven, 16 years ago. The paint color still looks amazing:
