  • Today, we tour the Bugatti and french car collection of Peter W. Mullin. Petersen has had a lifelong romance with automobiles. He is a devoted supporter of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and other concours events around the globe. He has entered and driven his cars in vintage races and rallies for the last 25 years, both in the United States and abroad.
    Founded in 2010, the Mullin Automotive Museum strives to educate guests about 20th-century French automotive styling and design. The museum boasts nearly 47,000 square feet of exhibit space in an elegantly designed structure, which was previously owned by legendary newspaper publisher Otis Chandler. Peter Mullin is Board Member of the Petersen Automotive Museum, President of the American Bugatti Club, and an active participant and supporter of the Los Angeles Community.

    If you're staying in LA, this is only about an hour away and is an absolute must see museum. The collection is all French, and all fantastic. The docent led tours are thorough, informative - but when you are finished, the best part is that you can wander at will throughout the collection. There's also a fantastic art deco collection including what I'd call a gentlemen's club/bar area and some Carlo Bugatti furniture. The presentation of nearly everything is stunning and you should budget several hours to drink it all it. Highly recommended.

I'm particually fond of the polished metals under the hood, and that incredible sound the doors make when they latch lol, I don't kjnow why but it makes my ears happy!

  • @icegiant1000
    @icegiant1000 3 года назад +6

    These cars are just absolutely breath-taking. So beautiful, the fact they are functional is almost a trivial afterthought. However, when you consider the artistry of these cars, the age they were built (no computer, no printers, just slide rules and pencils), compared to something as childish as the Tesla Cybertruck, which looks like it was drawn by a 1st grader with a red crayon (because it will go faster with red), accentuates how remarkable the designers of these vehicles truly were. Fame and recognition, rarely denote the best.

    • @MachinecoMachines
      @MachinecoMachines Год назад +1

      Our automotive users group- (from Opel GT to 12-wheel Peterbilt) understands your POV! HOWever the Cybertruck is indeed a both departure from and leading well away and forward-thinking above all traditional "smooth and swoopy" lines conventions. AND it is above all a serious truck. (1.7 million reservations, more the entire production of all cars here) for that one model alone,
      speaks volumes about what is a true improvement. Indeed if one wishes to be swoopy, aerodynamic AND avant garde, the Solar Aptera can CURE the curse of energy waste on personal transportation, with everything any one or two people NEED in a car, vs everything the merely "Want", eg front and back cigarette ashtrays, as in some of these featured cars!
