Events: Herb Chambers Cars and Coffee July 2014

Last October, I attended the Cars and Coffee event put on by local dealer mogul, Herb Chambers. The event was great as it drew lots of enthusiasts of all stripes and included lots of people who genuinely appreciate cars. The variety of both cars and people who attend is astounding and I had the good fortune to find one more opportunity to check out the event this year. This time, instead of Sharon, MA, the event was held at Flagship Motorcars, a Mercedes dealership in the Herb Chambers family located in Lynnfield. It is well situated on a side street off of a major highway, allowing, one again, for a spectacular show as drivers departed the event. What sets apart these Cars and Coffee events from the official one for the Boston area is the fact that the dealership has access to a huge selection of exotic cars that they are not afraid to trot out and put on display. This means that even if participants are not able to make it, at the very least there is plenty of eye candy for all to see.

Events: Boston Cars and Coffee October 2013

Back in May, I attended my first Cars and Coffee in the Boston area. As the fall foliage season comes into full swing, the car gathering season draws to a close up here in New England. Many of the cars we see at these events will get put away for the winter as the roads around here quickly become coated in salt when the temperatures start to drop. As a final hurrah for 2013, I took the K1200S to the final Boston Cars and Coffee scheduled for the year. It was a beautiful day and many people clearly had the same idea as attendance was good, with numerous cars out enjoying the good weather. Because of its location, on the grounds of the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum, there is not the usual chorus of high performance departures as there are at Cars and Coffee events in other parts of the country, but the idyllic setting and excellent company keep the enthusiasts coming back for more.

Events: Herb Chambers Cars and Coffee October 2013

Back in May, I attended my first Cars and Coffee in the Boston area. While the official Cars and Coffee event at the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum is a great setting, its location within the residential neighborhoods of Boston makes it a much quieter affair than the raucous party that is typical of the Cars and Coffee crowd. Luckily, one of the local dealership chains holds its own series of Cars and Coffee events, set at various dealership properties throughout the Greater Boston area. I attended the last one of the 2013 season, located at Herb Chambers Lexus in Sharon, MA, just outside of Boston. The crowd was quite sizable and because of its location in a primarily commercial part of town, it was possible for gathered crowd to cheer on the drivers as they gave us a show upon departing the event.

Events: Boston Cars and Coffee May 2013

Cars and Coffee started as a gathering for automotive enthusiasts of all stripes and got its start in Southern California and has since grown to cities all over the country and even internationally. Each area brings a different crowd with different cars: DC had a large number of extensively customized classic performance cars, Irvine tends to draw a serious supercar crowd, and now Boston brings a large selection of AWD performance. I had a chance to drop in on Boston Cars and Coffee at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA. Click on any of the photos after the jump to see the full album.
