Experience Michigan's Largest Cars and Coffee — Now Driving Change for Local Charities

$20 per vehicle, A portion of the entry fee supports M1 Mobility

M1 Cars and Coffee, the Midwest’s largest and nationally award-winning automotive gathering, brings together 2,400 drivers and enthusiasts at each show! This isn’t just a premier car meetup—it’s an opportunity to make a difference. In 2025, we will support two local nonprofit charities. M1 Mobility provides Pontiac residents with essential transportation and access to vital community programs, as well as the Checkered Flag Challenge, a 501c3, which funds initiatives providing essential transportation services to Pontiac residents. A portion of the entry fee goes directly to support these two local nonprofit charities. Your ticket guarantees up-close access to rare and unique vehicles, complimentary coffee, outdoor activities, food, and merchandise options—all while giving back to the community.

Michigan’s largest gathering of cars unites at M1 Concourse monthly on Saturdays to enjoy coffee and some epic cars.

Roger Bailey

It’s hard to imagine anyone in the sport of auto racing who has had a career with broader depth of experience than Roger Bailey. His early career included stints as a mechanic with Cooper, Penske, Mecom, Alan Mann, BRM, and McLaren. In 1966, he was recruited to Ford’s factory Le Mans program where he was part of a blended team from Alan Mann, Holman Moody, and Shelby that built a total seven Ford GT40 MkIIs. The winning effort was the subject of the 2019 feature film, Ford v Ferrari.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this legendary motorsport figure live at 10:00 am in the M1 Concourse Event Center.
