Petersen museum porsche displays

[dicklague]

I went to the new Petersen this week. If you have not been to the new museum with a reported $100 M remodel run don't walk.....it is fabulous!! And lots of stuff for Porsche people.

Charlie Nearburgh has 10 or so of his cars in the Motorsports exhibit including the 4 below.....he has excellent taste to say the least.

In the basement "Vault" I found this little gem.....a 901!

If you are in the LA area the new Petersen is really worth a visit. They have done an awesome job with the very extensive remodeling and upgrades. I was prepared to be impressed, but was just blown away with what they have done.

Full disclosure, I worked for Petersen Publishing for 25 years, running the motorcycle and action sports magazine division, so I was close to the museum in its first version. Both Pete and Margie Petersen are no longer with us and the new board took on the task of reinvigorating the museum. The results are spectacular. See it!
