The Petersen Automotive Museum is located on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, California. The Museum Building is more than 300,000 square feet and features more than 150 rare and classic cars, trucks and motorcycles in it's exhibits and lifelike dioramas. I like to visit the museum whenever I'm in LA. They rotate the selection of cars in many of the areas so there's always something new to see in the Grand Salon. The parking is $6.00 and the entry fees are $10 for Adults, $5 for seniors, $3 Children (5-12) and Free for children under 5.

The Otis Chandler Gallery is dedicated to motorcycles. There's a nice selection from the turn of the century thru modern times.

This 1948 Vincent HRD is a great looking motorcycle and in perfect condition.

The Hollywood Gallery includes some very intrersting vehicles.

The Bat cycle looks very cool.

Kids will enjoy seeing Herbie "The Love Bug"

This is the one car in the Celebrity Gallery that I would want to drive.

Steve McQueen's 1964 Truimph TR6SC that he rode in the 1964 International Six Days Trial (ISDT) I really liked the Norton Manx parked next to Steve's Triumph.

One the first floor the vehicles are posed in period displays. This 1930's Richfield gas station is very nice. There is also a great collection of gas pumps from the originals thru current gas pumps.

This is just one of the Foose custom cars in the gallery display. Chip does excellent work and the attention to detail is incredible.

Here's one of the Hot Wheels Funny Cars on display. There is a very good selection of Hot Wheels die cast cars and there's even a series of molds that show how the cars are made.
