On a recent trip to Southern California, I visited the Petersen Automotive Museum. It had the most impressive collection of cars that I have ever seen: three floors of everything from 19th-Century three-wheeled motorized buggies to up-to-the-minute multi-million-dollar supercars. There were prototypes from decades past, iconic Hollywood cars, clay mockups and more. If you want to pay an extra fee, you can see a separate underground “vault” containing even more special automobiles.
They had a special exhibit called “Best in Low: Icons of the Street & Show” that featured lowrider cars and motorcycles with truly stunning custom paint jobs and chrome work. This image is a detail of a 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible that was slightly elevated over a mirrored tile floor, allowing a view of the impressive customized undercarriage.
We just can't resist making this a double Parting Shot: here's a photo of the whole...incredible...car.
