Video: The world's greatest collection of cars | Petersen Museum | Goodwood Masters

If the Promised Land did exist, we think it would look like this. A near-endless collection of many of the world’s coolest, most valuable, most spectacular and rarest cars carefully curated by a collaboration of collectors.

We went for a visit to discover just how broad the collection at the Petersen Museum is, and we were astounded by what we found. A list of exhibits includes the original Ferrari, countless Porsches from the very earliest 356s to racing prototypes, and a fantastic collection of original cars from films like Batman, James Bond, Transformers and even Scooby Doo.

There is of course a whole section dedicated to Formula 1 cars, while the array of vintage models from the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bugatti is equally exciting.

They aren’t just for looking at though. In this video we learn that several of the exhibits are driven when they aren’t on display. A pre-production Dodge Viper for example had a day out drag-racing, while a very lucky Marketing Director, Luna Bondesan had the chance to test drive her dream car, a 2005 Ford GT.

If you ever get the chance to travel to California, you simply have to put the Petersen Museum on your list of destinations. It’s a veritable dreamland for car fans like us.
