CLASSIC CARS

PETERSEN AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM

​The newly updated Petersen Automotive Museum opened on December 7, 2015.  It is a knockout, both for a fantastic display of cars from Europe and the US and a stunning building.  Located in Los Angeles very close to the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), it is a must-see museum for auto lovers as well as lovers of beauty and design.
 
The cars and motorcycles on display range from 1917 to 2009 and we have arranged the ones we have selected in chronological order, too.  The photos here are not all the cars on display. To see all these works of art and their evolution, you need to visit the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles.
