Before the Grand Finale, we have one more familiar Saturday morning together.

Join us September 12 for the second-to-last Espresso & Exhaust at Vehicle Vault.

For more than 12 years, these mornings have been about far more than the cars. They’ve been about the people, the friendships and the community.

This isn’t the goodbye...not yet. It’s another chance to fill the parking lot, grab a coffee and enjoy the kind of morning that made Espresso & Exhaust so special.

Bring your car. Bring your family. Bring someone who has never experienced it while you can.

Saturday, September 12
Rain or shine
All makes and models welcome
$5 museum admission
MaHia Coffee Truck

Every car has a story. Over the last 12 years, thousands of you have added your own to Vehicle Vault.

Maybe it was your first Espresso & Exhaust. A car you never expected to see in person. A family afternoon inside the museum. An event you’ll never forget. Or a conversation with someone who became a friend.

As we celebrate Vehicle Vault’s final chapter, we want to hear the memories that made this place meaningful to you.

What is your favorite Vehicle Vault memory?

Tell us the story in the comments. If you have a photo or video from that moment, share it to your Story and tag . We’ll be sharing some of your memories as we approach the Grand Finale.

Thank you for being part of the story.

ONE LAST LOOK | 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

Some cars become icons over time. The 300 SL arrived as one.

Introduced in 1954, the production 300 SL brought Mercedes-Benz’s racing technology to the road. Its lightweight tubular spaceframe created unusually high door sills, making conventional doors impractical. The solution became one of the most recognizable designs in automotive history: doors that opened into the roof.

Under its long hood is a direct-injected 3.0-liter inline-six producing 215 horsepower. Depending on its gearing, the 300 SL was capable of speeds approaching 160 mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of its era.

Mercedes-Benz built 1,400 Gullwing coupés between 1954 and 1957. This first-year Vehicle Vault example is one of just 146 built in 1954. It has fewer than 4,500 original miles and remains remarkably original.

Now, it is preparing to leave Vehicle Vault. Come experience this extraordinary machine while you still can.

Share this with someone who needs to see the Gullwing in person!

109 years ago today, Lincoln was born.

On August 29, 1917, Henry Leland and his son Wilfred founded the Lincoln Motor Company in Detroit. Before Lincoln became synonymous with American luxury, the company’s earliest work was far different: building Liberty aircraft engines for the First World War.

After the war, Lincoln transitioned to automobiles, and in 1922 the company was purchased by Ford Motor Company.

Just three years later came the car pictured here, our very own 1925 Lincoln Model L Dual Windshield Phaeton.

Its raked windshield, wind wings, three-piece rear windshield, jump seats and rear luggage rack are reminders of an era when buying a luxury automobile often meant pairing an automaker’s chassis and engine with bespoke coachwork from a separate body builder.

More than a century after Lincoln’s founding, this Model L gives us a remarkably tangible look at the company’s earliest years.

History has a way of looking better in person, come see this car before it's gone!

Some cars are restored. Others are reimagined from the ground up.

Our 1933 Stutz Tomcat Roadster, created by Larry Burchett of B Rod or Custom, began as an idea in 2003: build something completely original, blending the elegance of 1930s Art Deco with the attitude of an American hot rod.

The result is a hand-sculpted, full-custom roadster with a 350-ci V8, custom leather and ostrich interior, and a lift-off hardtop.

Only three versions were built, and this one was shown at SEMA twice.

It may carry a 1933 title, but the Tomcat is really a modern interpretation of an era when automobiles were as much sculpture as transportation.

Come take a closer look at one of the most unusual cars inside Vehicle Vault.

This week in 1916, the Fisher brothers consolidated their growing coachbuilding operations into the Fisher Body Corporation, marking a new era for one of America’s most influential automotive names. In the decades that followed, “Body by Fisher” would appear on millions of vehicles and become synonymous with the craftsmanship, engineering, and design of the American automobile.

At Vehicle Vault, our collection spans more than 80 years of Fisher-connected automotive history. From the family’s early influence on Cadillac coachwork to the iconic Camaro, the Pontiac GTO Judge, and the Buick Grand National which carried the Fisher name for the last time.

Come see all of them for yourself this weekend and discover the story behind one of the most recognizable names in American automotive history.

After an incredible run, we’re announcing the Espresso & Exhaust Grand Finale.

For more than 12 years, Vehicle Vault has welcomed Colorado’s automotive community to gather, connect, and celebrate the cars and people that bring this community together. From early Saturday mornings with a packed parking lot, to unforgettable vehicles, new friendships, and countless stories, Espresso & Exhaust has become far more than a car meet.

On October 10, we invite you to join us one final time. For our Grand Finale, Vehicle Vault will be open to the public with free museum admission, along with special activities and experiences throughout the morning as we celebrate more than a decade of Espresso & Exhaust.

October 10 | 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
• Free Museum Admission
• Food Trucks
• Activities for the Kids
• Denver Mustang Club Community Highlight
• Special Activations
• And more

Whether you’ve been joining us for 12 years or have never attended before, we hope you’ll come spend one last morning with us. Thank you, Colorado, for 12 incredible years.

On National Nonprofit Day, we’re proud to recognize two organizations doing incredible work: the Jessi Combs Foundation and Make-A-Wish Colorado.

Both organizations are close to our hearts and continue to create meaningful impact in the lives of others. We’re grateful to celebrate the work they do in our community and beyond.

Thank you for everything you do!

Built at the crossroads of two eras, this 1951 Mercury captures the evolution of American hot-rodding.

This is a genuine Foose design and Boyd Coddington build, powered by a big-block 502 producing 502 horsepower. Lightly chopped and sectioned, it features a classic DeSoto grille, glove-leather interior, and unmistakable custom styling from an era that helped define the modern hot rod.

It’s the kind of car photographs never quite do justice. Come see the Mercury, and the rest of the Vehicle Vault collection, in person this weekend.

Meet Lola. She’s 19 feet long, has 500 horsepower, and she’s anything but subtle.

This one-of-a-kind 1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville is just one of the stories waiting inside Vehicle Vault.

Before the backpacks come out and the school-year routine begins, squeeze in one more summer adventure with the family. Come wander through automotive history, find your favorite car, and see if the kids can spot all the details that make Lola unlike any Cadillac they’ve seen before.

Summer isn’t over quite yet. Come spend an afternoon at Vehicle Vault. Tickets are available online, click the link in the profile.
