Only in South Orange, NJ

South Orange is playing host to the one of the largest Vintage German car owner gatherings on the East coast. GFest '13 marks the 4th year of GFest but the first year that the Village of South Orange and SOVCA will co-host with Guten Parts.   Levent Erhamza, owner of Guten Parts on Valley Road in South Orange will be the primary driver of this festival in cooperation with the Village and SOVCA.  

Last year, this event brought people from out of town, out of state and out of country.   Levent has documented that folks came from 5 countries and 12 different states to South Orange.  With over 400 cars and 600 individuals they represent a consumer base for downtown South Orange.  It is a family event with "kids of all ages" being present.

With the move of the event to downtown South Orange, the tag line of  GFest '13 is “It’s not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle”.  This from a branding perspective combines, cars, family, shopping, and pedestrian traffic with disposable income to benefit South Orange merchants.

This nostalgic tour of BMW cars of the 80’s will be showcased in various South Orange parking lots creating mini destinations in various parts of town.  For instance, rare convertibles in one location, race cars in another and so on. 

Registration and Tshirt Sales will be in Spiotta Park.
