I would like to know more about the history of C&C and my search of this forum didn’t turn up anything, did I miss it? Here are some tidbits that I found while searching beyond the forum:
OC Register – “Saturday a sad day for O.C. car guys” (Oct 17, 2006)
OC Register – “Discontinued Crystal Cove car show co-founder reflects on the event” (Oct 19, 2006)While at Crystal Cove, it was informally known as the “Crystal Cove Car Show” as well as “Croissant Derelicts” if you want to search the net.
2009 notice regarding the turnout and overflow of the Irvine location
Other info:

http://vehiclevoice.com/2006/10/cars_coffee_eclipses_crystal_c_1/I’m tempted to create my first Wikipedia article to encourage others to contribute.
To be continued, hopefully…

Thanks for the compilation. Good info.
Cars and Coffee started as just a bucnh of locals getting together in the Crystal Cove shopping center to have a cup of coffee and talk a little car stuff. It was never a formal gathering. It became so big that the residents surrounding Crystal Cove felt they had enough “hassel in their back yard’ and pushed the irvine Co. to suspend the opportunity to use their parking lot. Ford Motor company (thier design sutdio and the Premier Automottive Division at the time) offered to allow the gathering to take place in their parking lot. John and Linda Clinard are the custodians of that arena on the behalf of Ford. Ford has graciously made their property available for all local car “nuts.” So the “gathering” still continues. First and foremost it is NOT an offiicial event it is still a causual gathering of like minded people on Saturday morning each week. This is why there is no real posting of the location of the C&C event ( it is not an event) and this is most likely why there is no history (there is no official event so there is no official history).
Correct. Local informal gathering, without centralized ‘management’. Fortunately now hosted (tolerated too) by Ford, Mazda, Taco Bell property owners/management. When formerly at Crystal Cove and issues arose (ostensibly owing to complaints uphill) Irvine Co. was most frustrated in our meetings, as they had no one ‘official’ to deal with or negotiate.
Hosts for this ‘non-event’ are now very generous and all attendees should help them in every way possible–police your own (and other’s) stuff, keep the noise down–no burnouts, and bring the most interesting cars possible for the main lot.
Please understand, and use the parking structure, if requested or if bringing your ‘regular’ car. Best for all, as long as it may possibly last. See you there!
