Hosted at the Prestige Event Center in Heber, CA on Saturday, January 30th, 2027 (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM), CAR CON brings together premier car clubs from Southern California and Mexicali, local automotive dealerships, Coyne Powersports, and Imperial Valley families for an unforgettable day with a charitable purpose.
Few regions in North America have a richer, more diverse automotive DNA than the borderland corridor connecting Southern California, the Imperial Valley, and Mexicali. On any given weekend, boulevard lowriders, classic Detroit iron, widebody Japanese tuners, custom lifted trucks, and Glamis-bound desert UTVs share our highways.
CAR CON was created to give all of those worlds a flagship home. Inspired by major experiential showcases like the LA and Chicago Auto Shows—yet built with authentic, community-first Cars & Coffee soul—CAR CON pairs ~100 club & collector builds right alongside new vehicles from Imperial Valley Automotive Dealers and Off-Road UTVs from Coyne Powersports.
Dedicated club blocks celebrating cross-border builders and collectors—showcasing classic cruisers, hydraulic lowriders, muscle cars, custom widebody imports, restomods, and specialty show stoppers.
Walk around 2027 trucks, sedans, SUVs, and performance models brought by leading Imperial Valley dealerships—giving local auto shoppers hands-on access without showroom pressure.
Desert season lives here. Inspect built Side-by-Side UTVs, ATVs, motorcycles, and dune-ready accessories presented by El Centro's own Coyne Powersports.
Designed as an affordable, welcoming Saturday outing for the entire Imperial Valley family—complete with food vendors, interactive games, raffle prizes, music, and judged award categories.
CAR CON plans to share a defined portion of event proceeds with Reps 4 Vets (Veterans of Shared Experiences), subject to a written partnership agreement, supporting programs that directly benefit homeless veterans.
We believe community events earn trust through accountability. That is why CAR CON is structured from day one around documented financial clarity and public post-show reporting.
Disclosure: Donation percentage and eligible expenses will be defined in writing before charitable claims are made. Spectator ticket purchases and booth fees are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations.
Everything spectators, SoCal & Mexicali car clubs, and families need for Saturday, January 30th, 2027.
