Invitation to Womens Day at the Petersen Museum, March 16th
Celebrate Women's History Month this year with a fun, friendly and intimidation-free dose of empowerment!
You don't have to be a 'car person' or a mechanic to feel confident about caring for your car. Together, we will work through the basics of car knowledge to leave you feeling confident and road ready.
You'll get hands on with tire care, learn to check your oil and water, and get to know your way around an engine, among other nifty tricks and tips. You'll be working in pairs or small groups on your own cars. Expect to get your hands and clothes dirty by the end of day!
Women's Day ($30 non-members/$25 members) includes a car care clinic, light refreshments, workshop certificate, car care goody bag, Museum admission and parking validation!
For more information, contact Lorianne Salazar at 323-964-6308 or lsalazar@petersen.org Pre-registration is required. Download the flyer here http://www.petersen.org/uploads/Womens_Day_2013_Registration_Flyer-2.pdf and sign-up now!

the Bruce Meyer collection at the Petersen Museum
Bruce was once the chairman of the Pete, and I think is still involved in it's operation.
Anyway, Bruce has been involved in restoring and reuniting the most iconic cars in So Cal racing history...
the Greer, Black, and Prudhomme dragster (which astonishingly raced 244 times and won 237 times)
the So Cal Special bellytanker,
the Pierson Brothers 2D coupe,
Doane Spenser duece roadster
the famous celebs cars like...
Steve McQueens 1958 Porsche Speedster
Clark Gable's 1956 Mercedes 300 Sc cabriolet
and race cars like the Indy 500 winning Agajanian Special,
and the Ken Miles 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa
From dragsters to Duesenburgs. http://www.forbes.com/2005/03/04/cz_ms_0304guide.html

now at the Petersen museum, this is the 1939 lakester named the Meteor, and handbuilt from 5 scrapped vehicles
when it was at the 2011 Del Mar Goodguys, I got photos of it from up close, inside and out.

While it is the museum and will get a lot more people to respect the enormous commitment the builder had, and the talent in making this car, the stantions and ropes will not allow museum guests to get as close and with the great lighting I had available at the 2011 Goodguys. Kudos to the museum for getting it on display!
