I drive a 1930 Ford Model A, the opposite end of the spectrum from the Rolls Royce. It’s not quiet, though it does ride smoothly, but it’s rather cramped inside for a modern person. Anyway, lots of fun and you make friends everywhere you go.

Glad to see you replaced that 2 blade fan with a new 4 blade fan. Those old 2 blade fans have been known to break unexpectedly and damage your radiator.

What an amazing treasure Bob Gurr is...I just love his energy!

You said it: "one thing leads to antother". I think you should lease the original head on it - and maybe polish it out or sand it to restore it to it's orighinal sheen.

I would have welded a nut on that broken bolt. The extreme heat helps break the bond and then you can use lb blaster to cool it and it gets drawn down in there. If you have a couple days the soak it and walk away but if not then use a 1/4 drive or maybe 3/8 drive impact to loosen it up or at least vintage it enough to allow the PB blaster to work in there. If it comes loose then you're done. If not then use that 1/2 breaker very carefully. If still stubborn repeat some heat and PB cycles or pB blaster it and let it sit.

Did he ever try the rope technique to remove the head?

You should of used a left hand drill bit !!!!

A few years ago, some friends and I were at the Meadowbrook car show in Michigan. After the show, one of the staff couldn't put a Mullin Voisin into gear so to put it on a trailer. We had to push it on; the guy was grinding the hell out of the gears on that poor thing. It was a small black and white coupe with a roll-back roof.

I own a 1937 Citroen "Challenger" type Traction Avant 11BL that was in the collection and sold for $20,000.00 by Gooding. I bought it on Ebay last year from a dealer in West Palm Beach for $8,000.00. Somebody sure lost some money!

I wonder if Leno will acquire any of these.

Have to make room for a subdivision…😢

BUMMER.

did watch it, but had to turn the comments off

It was always fun to visit the museum, sad to see it go. Always appreciate how the museum showed art deco rooms, restoration process, art as well as the Bugatti Model 100 airplane which was exceptional

Am local, such sadness to lose this priceless collection. Also lost of late was the Murphy collection of more contemporary cars in Oxnard. Both will be truly missed. 😎

Who knew that out amongst fields of strawberries in Camarillo, CA would sit this wonderful museum? Feeling fortunate to have visited the Mullins collection not knowing that 14 months later it would be dissolved. Knowing very little of this era one automobile stood out as being simply stunning, the 1937 Bugatti Type 57 AS Cabriolet.

Only in money-crazed America would one dissolve such a fine collection instead of continue it as a Museum, for everybody to enjoy.

Thankyou. I need a steering box.

So so sad I visited this wonderful museum in 2017 with my family, the museum wasn’t open but I emailed them and wow they opened it just for the four of us , two hours of heaven . Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

in 1945 the French gvmt changed the rules to force the car manufacturers out of luxury cars and to go for people's car.... leaving the market to the germans..... Sooo stupid !!! Also, why is this beautiful museum not preserved ???

This is excellent! I was there before Peter died.

Like that... One man did so much for the people he lived among, and as soon as he died, people took his legacy to their garages.

Great work 👍

What a shame. Maybe those crusty old Bugattis should stay kind of crusty? That's part of their history. I do hope that their next custodians get them running, though.

Absolutely amazing collection. I just hope someone like Jay Leno acquires many of these classics as he will share them with the world.

Annoying pointless music.

what a waste of money these elites have and just throw it away .gross

This people is the best example of the way of EEUU’s way of thinking. If they don’t know where is in a map their own country, how could they talk about frenchs cars? They will talk about Hispano-Suiza (Spanish cars), Bugatti (Italian cars)… you dont know nothing about history or geography. See youuu

HISPANO-SUIZA esuna marca Española no francesa.

Anyone spot Jay Leno?!

What a mission this man had! A wonderful video. I live in Europe, and was was at the Schlumph museum over 20 years.

I had the opportunity to meet Mr. And Mrs. Mullin in Carmel, I didn't know who they were but I can say they were both very nice people who talked with me for about an hour about automobiles of course, and they were really down-to-earth! I wish I could have seen the museum

i regret never having visited the museum

I was really lucky to visit the museum after covid, back in January 2022. I was amazed to see the cars together, it’s a shame that the museum is not longer there. Hopefully the new owners of the cars keep showing them like they Mullin’s used to do in different fine car events.

I am heartbroken and angry at myself for never getting to this museum. I have been to the French national museum back in the late 70's but I was a kid and didn't have the appreciation for the beauty and engineering of all the cars like I do now.

When the car started it looked like a little exhaust leak between the manifold and the block. Have fun with your Model A.

Bobby is a great friend. I visited the Old Crow Garage several times. Fun stuff.

My absolute favourite car museum …… how sad that Peter passed and the museum is being split up and closed. Many thanks to Peter and his family for preserving all this beautiful car art and memorabilia.

So sad such a beautifully conceived and executed museum is gone. I am grateful that Mr Mullin paid such attention and tribute, to the Art Deco era and French Automobiles. Everyone is on about the Italians, the Germans and British and in consequence the sheer elegance of French Automobilia lies largely forgotten.

Hope some of them appear at the Pebble Beach Tour D'Elegance this year...

The upcoming caretaker would be so lucky

Shame the museum can't keep going. R.I.P Peter.

French don't anything good except fries, dressing and bread.

R I P, PETER, THEY GOT YOUR CARS

" CARETAKERS " LOL, LOL, THE NEW NAME FOR PRIVATE OWNERS WHO DON'T REALLY, BECAUSE SOME OTHE R GEEZER HAS HIS FUTURE EYES ON THE BOUNTY

Thanks to Peter Mullin for a life well lived. He was kind to share in all his achievements.

Good to see it back on the road. But I don't know about your timing system if you pointed the rotor towards number 4 spark plug instead of number one with the points starting to open.

Great video. Thank You.
