The Petersen is a neat place. It's not the most elaborate, but it does do a nice job.
They are consistantly changing the displays; they may do a 1 month special on something, then do a year long celebration for a marque (Rolls, during their anniversary comes to mind), or even a 4 month special. |

Man, you're lucky. It's very rare to get a chance to go to something like that.

Some captions and information:
During the early afternoon, there was a panel discussion with all the honorees. Scooter Patrick was due to attend, but didn't make it until dinner. Pics are by numbers. 116, Bob Bondurant and Doug Fehan 110, Dick Gulstrand and Tony DeLorenzo (at the ends, I don't remember the middle two) 109, John Fitch, Lou G. and Tim Considine. Tim was in My Three Sons back in the 1960s and is now a noted expert on auto racing history. Next up is a multitude of bad assed racing Vette's! Finally, Vic Edelbrock with Parnelli Jones. It was quite the night! www.petersen.org |
