There's really no better of year to hit the road for a car show.

Among the dozens of car shows happening across New England this summer and early far are a few unique events at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, including monthly "cars and coffee" meet-ups.

"It's a really fun, informal event that brings a broad mix of cars [and people] together," Jennifer Corriveau, of the museum's marketing team, told Boston.com. "People come for the cars, but also the beautiful park with a great view of Boston at the top of the hill."

Excellent attendance is expected at many upcoming car-related events. Mark down one (or more!) dates based on this list of New England car shows in 2019.
