Herb Chambers Cars and Coffee Event Held Saturday

Local car enthusiasts turned out in force early Saturday morning for a special "Cars and Coffee" event at BMW of Sudbury, hosted by Herb Chambers.  

Starting at 7 a.m., a variety of hot rods, antiques, and pristine sports cars rolled onto the lot. Proud owners and wanna-be owners alike admired sparkling engines and painstaking renovation jobs, all against the backdrop of a perfect fall morning.  

Among the attendees were members of the Dominators Club, a long-standing hot rod enthusiasts group established in Watertown in 1957.

When asked what brought them out so early, member Bob Gamache laughed and said, "These guys," indicating a jovial band of fellow Dominators.  

"Some people own just one, but I get to have a whole collection!" joked Rodney Carkin Sr., a photographer who specializes in pictures of classic vehicles.  

The next generation of automobile fans also enjoyed the morning, as dads wandered among the cars on show pointing out special details to curious sons and daughters.  

The final "Cars and Coffee" event for 2010 will will be held Oct. 9 at Herb Chambers Lexus in Sharon.
