Carbs & Carburetors is a monthly morning car gathering hosted by Leland Little Auctions in Hillsborough. The auction house’s event page says it happens every second Saturday of the month, with coffee, donuts and collector cars, and lists it as free. The current listing runs 9am to noon.
The host is the firm’s Estate and Collector Vehicles department. Its ticket listing bills the morning as car talk with Mark Terry, the department’s director.
When to arrive
Leland Little’s listing for Saturday 14 November 2026 gives 9am to noon. The auction house posts one date at a time on its events page, and the November date was the only one up when this guide was written. By its stated rule, the next gathering after that is Saturday 12 December 2026.
One other source gives a shorter morning. The Carolinas Region of the Porsche Club of America, whose Triangle chapter is the featured club in November, lists the meet in its September 2026 newsletter as the second Saturday, 9am to 11am. The host’s own hours are the ones used here.
Where to park
Go to the right building. Leland Little’s gallery is at 620 Cornerstone Court, and the ticket listing says these gatherings are held at the Collector Car Department, at 602 Cornerstone Court, Hillsborough, NC 27278. The listing says only that parking will be available, and adds “the more the merrier.”
Which cars come
Bring what you have. The host writes that vintage, custom or classic, all are welcome, and it invites visitors to bring a car they are proud of. A month can carry a featured club. For 14 November 2026 that is the Triangle chapter of the Porsche Club of America.
The coffee
Coffee and donuts are part of the event, per the host. The listing does not say whether they are free or who supplies them.
Before you go
The ticket listing says an RSVP is requested but not required. No rain rule and no house rules are published. The lot belongs to a working auction house, so park where directed and keep the loading areas clear. For the other monthly meets in the area, see Cars and Coffee in Raleigh-Durham.
