Heading to the Peterson Automotive Museum today. I understand they've got some cars there.

Maybe a stop at Canter's deli for a pastrami will be in order...

That should be a great tour. I was tempted by that GTG myself, but things didn't work out. Enjoy!

I'm hoping so. I'm going to look into the details involved in scheduling one of these tours for the future, as it may be something our group would be interested in.

It's a beautiful day for a ride one way or the other.

SW corner of Wilshire & Fairfax, formerly an Orbachs Department Store. Founded and mostly funded by Robert E. Petersen of Petersen Publishing Co. (formerly owned Hot Rod, Motor Trend and etc).

Every car club I've been a member of, has been to this museum. The top floor was once used for parking, but some car clubs have used it for swap meets and car shows.

The first thing you see when you walk in...is an extensive gift shop.

Morning everyone,

I hope your having a blessed Sunday!

Lastnight was super cold at the North Pole (like breathing in ice cubes). All the elf kids did an awesome job! We froze our buns off, but it was worth it to see all the lil kids peeking out of the train windows at Santa & his elves. Their excitement kinda makes you feel all warm & fuzzy inside...makes Christmas even better!

Well, they've got themselves a pretty nice museum over there. Lots of cars The main exhibit is "The Car And The City In Southern California". For me, the historical aspect of it was every bit as enjoyable as the cars themselves, if not more so. The tour takes you chronologically from the turn of the 20th century up to the present, and there are a lot of old pictures and memorabilia to accompany the displays. I give it
