Middletown, Ohio – With temperatures dipping into the 30s around Summit Racing HQ near Akron and the OnAllCylinders Field Office outside of Cincinnati, we’re enjoying the last few weeks of cruising season here in parts of the Midwest.
So before the snow (and salt!) begins to fly, we made sure to take-in the regular Cars & Coffee event at Horsepower Farm—a local southwest Ohio car show hotspot. And we’re glad we did, because we caught some spectacular rides, ranging from a super rare military vehicle to a famous TV celebrity car.
Scroll the photos and see for yourself. And if your region is starting to get chilly, make some time to go out and enjoy the weather now…you’ll be thanking yourself in February.

The Sprint was, obviously, GMC’s El Camino, but the name was changed to Caballero with the A-Body redesign in 1978. The move was a marketing decision to better align it with the Spanish-derived El Camino name from its Chevy cousin. Learn about other famous Spanish car names here.

The “KR” stood for “King of the Road” and meant that you got the then-new Ford 428 Cobra Jet powerplant under the hood. (Image/OnAllCylinders)Look closely, and you’ll see this is one of the incredible ZL-1 Camaros hopped up by SLP, with a 750 horsepower 6.2L LSA engine under the hood.

Paul is the editor of OnAllCylinders. When he's not writing, you'll probably find him fixing oil leaks in a Jeep CJ-5 or roof leaks in an old Corvette ragtop. Thanks to a penchant for vintage Honda motorcycles, he spends the rest of his time fiddling with carburetors and cleaning chain lube off his left pant leg.
