The Petersen Automotive Museum just finished their changes to their vault, new cars, new lighting. It’s such a dope spot to wander and see all these driveable machines just parked as if they’re in a typical multistory garage. Here’s a few pics from my last tour down under.

More photos here!

I toured the vault when I was there in March, but photos were strictly prohibited.

A Land Rover in the apocalypse is a brave choice

They typically are, I just happened to do a tour with the legend Larry Chen. I had full unmonitored access to the vault for a few hours to just soak it all in. Even without the ability to take photos it’s a magical place.

Dude!

I arrived at the Petersen right after the last tour to the vault for the day so I missed out on this. Maybe I’ll go visit another time.

Very nice! Every day is better when you can see an AAR car. These Toyotas, for as dominant as they were, still don’t seem to get too much attention. somehow they feel under the radar.

Anyway, great pics. I really need to hit the vault if I ever get a chance to sneak a visit on another business trip out west!

Great shots. The Instagram link doesn’t work for me, maybe because Australia, who knows?

Anyway, there are 100 Ben Ellis’s on there, which are you?

Cheers.
