Trish and I are in Pacific Palisades, California, for several days visiting our friends, Tanis and Bill McGregor, where I have a party performance at their home on Saturday evening. On one of our days we took the car in for service, and, while that was being done, we went to a place I have wanted to go for some time: the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The building itself is something to behold. Red wrapped with silvery metal ribbons it is like nothing we have ever seen.

The Petersen collection is vast and the portion on display changes some from time to time. Right now the emphasis is on unique one-of-a-kind vehicles of all kinds and concept super cars. There are so many vehicles that you would never see anywhere else as they are hand built and totally unique.

| This gorgeous DeLahaye was the one Trish wanted. Beautiful paint and finish. |
What we saw ranged from 300 mph racers to historic and movie set vehicles. There was also such artistry in the ways they were displayed.

We loved the uniqueness of the museum and many historic inclusions we saw here. We wished we could have taken a tour down into the collection vault, but, alas, those tours were all sold out for the day. We will surely come back some day.
