Boston: a city synonymous with our founding fathers, tea party, world class education and world champion sports teams. Its weather and rough roads don’t make it an ideal place for car enthusiasts, but they do exist in New England. After all, not everyone in the region has to drive a Volvo wagon, Saab or Subaru.
Even though it rained the night before, New England’s diehard car enthusiasts came out in full force in Brookhaven, Massachusetts, for the monthly Cars & Coffee on the lawn.
Unlike most Cars & Coffee events which take place in parking lots, Boston's Cars & Coffee is held at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum where cars park on the lawn, creating a great backdrop and giving the event a Concours-like feel.
New England brought out an eclectic mix of British oddities such as a Jensen Interceptor, Morgan 3 Wheeler and Land Rover Defender Series I.
There were three generations of turbo 911s in attendance, from the 930 Turbo (aka “The Widowmaker”) to a 964 Turbo similar to the one Will Smith and Martin Lawrence drove in "Bad Boys."
There was also a rare and raw 997 GT2RS; it takes a brave soul to drive a rear-wheel-drive turbo 911 out in the wet.
For the new-school fans, Lexus was on hand with the beautiful new LC500 and a pre-production LS500.
True to any Cars & Coffee, walking through all of the vehicles is like taking a stroll through an automotive time capsule. It's a great way to compare styling trends throughout the generations, like these body lines pure to the '80s.
The Nissan Skyline and the Toyota Supra are some of the '90s' and '00s' finest.
The current generation of Porsches and BMWs are the perfect combination of traditional styles updated with new technology to serve as modern day dream cars.
Not often will you see an F-150 Lightning parked next to a JDM Nissan Figaro.
At most Cars & Coffee events, there are plenty of American muscle cars; in Boston, there were a lot of classic American cruisers, like this '58 Lincoln Continental Mark III.
This rare Vixen 21TD RV (one of less than 600) is how families used to go on road trips in style.
If you’re in the New England area, make sure to stop by and check out one of the most unique Cars & Coffee events, every second Saturday morning of the month at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.
