The Auto Combine was originally founded by Noah Dellilo in 2010, quickly establishing itself as one of Florida’s standout grassroots automotive events. Known for its community-driven atmosphere, diverse builds, and raw energy, the show ran strong for several years — leaving a lasting impression on those who experienced it. After a successful run, the brand went quiet in 2016, but its name and spirit never truly faded from the scene.
Fast forward to 2024 — automotive enthusiast and event organizer Bash Ahmetaj, owner of Form & Function Crew, acquired full rights to The Auto Combine. Recognizing the strength of the original vision, Bash saw an opportunity to revive and evolve the brand for a new generation of car culture.
In a bold move, he officially retired the Form & Function name and merged its energy, network, and reputation into the rebirth of The Auto Combine. What started in Florida has now found new life in the Northeast, with plans to grow even bigger.
Now, The Auto Combine returns with fresh leadership, a renewed mission, and a commitment to high-quality, inclusive automotive events that bring people and passion together.
At The Auto Combine, we’re more than just a car show — we’re a culture, a platform, and a gathering ground for builders, dreamers, and true automotive enthusiasts.
Our mission is simple: celebrate creativity, diversity, and the authentic spirit of car culture. Whether it’s a carefully restored classic, a wild one-off build, or a daily driven passion project, every vehicle has a story — and we’re here to give it the spotlight it deserves.
We prioritize:
Quality over hype. Every event is curated to feature vehicles and vendors that represent true passion and craftsmanship.
Community over clout. We create spaces where everyone — from seasoned builders to first-time spectators — feels welcome and seen.
Innovation over imitation. Our goal is to push the culture forward by giving a platform to new ideas, unique builds, and underrepresented voices.
As we grow, our commitment remains rooted in creating meaningful automotive experiences — not just for show, but for the community that fuels it.
This isn’t just a revival. It’s a redefinition. Welcome to the new era of The Auto Combine.
