[@andersjensen1499]

The fact that he was half danish makes me proud - being super interested in cars, this museum is one I have to visit one day.

[@johnbehneman1546]

Thank you so much!!!! It is time to visit The Petersen Automotive Museum again. Thanks for sharing.

[@danf321]

Been to to museum myself many times, then I brought my sons, and now they visit with their friends. My sons now share my passion for cars.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU, MR PETERSEN. SO INSPIRATIONAL WE NEED MORE PASSION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY TODAY.

I have had the pleasure of serving as a volunteer at the Petersen, the best automotive museum on Planet Earth!

[@PetersenMuseum]

Thank you Jeff!

[@elcheapo5302]

I spent an entire day at The Petersen a few years ago. Everything about it--the building, the cars, the displays, the people, everything--was just perfect. Hope to make it back some day@!

I had travelled from Canada to spend a week in L.A. by myself and my last day there I saw the Peterson Museum. Was an hour before closing. Told my predicament and they said go ahead enter at no charge, look around the museum at your leisure. We will close when your done. Don’t rush. I tell this story to everyone even now to help promote this museum as not only is there a fabulous collection but the people there impacted me to this day.

[@PetersenMuseum]

That's an incredible story! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

[@sltchevy4652]

Amazing story I enjoy everytime I go to the Petersen thank you so so much for what you do.

[@MikeBMW]

Fantastic history of the Petersen Automotive Museum! I am grateful to Robert and all who keep the history of cars alive at the Petersen Museum! :)

[@PetersenMuseum]

Glad you enjoyed it! We do our best to honor his legacy!

Illinois farm boy here. My very first trip to CA my top item was to visit the Peterson! I’d lived vicariously my whole life through the pages of Hot Rod. Now I had “arrived”! 👍 And……..I discovered that the Tar Pits were just up the street! Killer day for a farm kid!

[@Dave_Boyer]

I’ve been twice, and it feels like home to me. I grew up reading Hot Rod, and reading about the museum over the years. It was only a dream of mine to get there one day, and I can’t wait to go back!

[@DanMosqueda]

This is why I get an annual membership, even though I might only make it to the museum a few times a year - it’s the passion of the people.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@jordanmascarenhas7974]

Went there with my pregnant wife in 2018. It was everything people made it out to be and so much more! Can’t wait to go back and bring all my kids one fo these days!!!

[@missingremote4388]

So, I'm glad to have a piece of Robert Peterson's hot rod collection. The Hot rod magazine '95 suburban

[@N-Scale]

Went to Denver Automotive and diesel in 1971 but life got in the way so at 68 years old I now have a 2008 Mustang Bullitt and love the tinkering

[@gsmith207]

Just unbelievable that 1 human can influence millions of others to love a mechanical thing and start a whole culture that will last forever…

[@superr4368]

In addition to “Hot Rod” and “Motor Trend” magazines, what others did Mr. Peterson have his hand in creating/publishing?

[@GlenTheGuesser]

Bravo!!!

[@TheLambo123254]

[@PetersenMuseum]

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

[@dave5833]

Watch him race one of his Porsche’s at Riverside when you could actually drive on a road track back in the lat 60’s.
