How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!

1932 Ford - Ray Brown Roadster.

17 year old Ray built this car in 45-46. He sold it and then it went into storage for almost 40 years before being discovered and restored.

@vwdasher looks like something out of Joe 90.
@donkey it really had a spaceship kind of feel to it!
@vwdasher
One of the coolest cars of all time
@vwdasher Cool, especially the Benelli Sei and the Münch Mammoth.
@vwdasher which museum?
@tragiccommons This is the Petersen in LA! Check out the whole thread, lots of lovely cars!
@vwdasher I've been there several times (including the basement tour). Probably the best car museum in the world.
@tragiccommons it's spectacular! Will definitely visit again when I am next in LA.
@vwdasher I love the Calder Bimmer, I even put it on this educational poster I made for a class a few semesters ago, that's pretty neat you got to see it in person.
@jadesded it is a magnificent thing in the flesh! The colours really pop.
@jadesded a bonus photo for you :)
