Thanks to my sister I discovered the Petersen Automotive Museum located in the Wilshire District of Los Angeles. It's in the building that used to be home to an old favorite department store of mine, Orbach's. They have a wonderful collection of cars. I took these earlier this year and I think it's time for me to go back because they periodically have new exhibits.
One of the exhibits was a Hot Wheels exhibit. They had a huge collection of Hot Wheels and then the life sized one in the photo below.

No one should ever say there is nothing to do around Los Angeles. I'll be gladly showing more next week.

Those cars looked just fantastic! I think I will ride that violet retrocar in the second photo.

Now those are beauties. I love looking at these oldies but goodies.
Wonderful cars. I like the pink one best!
Those are pretty spiffy cars. I love that super-sleek curvy purple one in the second photo. Va-va-va-VROOM!
These look like concept cars - very cool! I would love to have the pink one.
And what 'little boy' wouldn't love that hot wheels one in real life.
Nice post.
Wow, these are really wonderful cars and you made them look on your photos still more attractive! Really nice post!
I just went over to your other blog and saw your picture of those lovely pigs again. I think this is the best picture of pigs I ever saw, no kidding! Sooo cute!
I think the picture reveals their real character!
And it makes you dislike roast pork...
Great automotive World.
What stunning cars! I have never seen anything like these! And the colours are extraordinary! Great shots!
Love the pink car. I bet it would be fun to go for a ride with my daughter in that one.
How fun! Love all the bright colors. :c)
Those are very sleek cars! I wonder how it feels to drive one.
Have a look of my world here. It was so great seeing your world!
These are some sharp & slick looking cars!
Too cool. I love the pink Rolls Royce. I could see myself in that on a sunny day.
The green car is too wild! I love the pink car (rolls).Of course I could get SHOT driving that in Los Angeles, because that is a "steal me color" if I ever seen one
That's some fancy cars there. We have a car museum here too, Batman's car was there don't know if it still there or not.
Oh man, that purple one is just the one for me...
T: What a neat look at the cars in the museum, the Hot Wheels car was cool. My grandson will love it.
Those were great cars... the purple one is my favorite!

That's interesting - woudldn't it be fun if you could take them out for a spin?
A fun post with the ostentation of yesteryear.
I love the purple and pink ones. Do these belong to former stars or are they from the movies or just someone's collection?
They certainly made a wonderful display and you got some great shots here. I will take the "Hot ones" one thank you!! :)
These old cars are just gorgeous and you have taken great photos of them. Every now and again we get classic car shows around here. I always fall in love witht he Model 'T' Ford and in my next life would actually like to have one :) Wonderful post, wish we had a car museum like this around here.
