The Pertersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has a fantastic array of vintage cars, motorcycles and also famous vehicles featured in Hollywood movies.
It also has exhibits featuring cars owned by Hollywood stars, take for example this 1956 Jaguar formerly owned by Steve McQueen.
I visited the museum on July 28, 2009 and photographed some of the marvelous autos on display including the Volkswagen Beetles featured in Disney's Herbie films.
I was also able to capture images of vehicles from the latest blockbusters like the Can-Am Spyder Roadster from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and classics like Raul Julia's Ferrari from The Gumball Rally, Jack Lemmon's Professor Fate Hannibal 8 car from The Great Race, Steve McQueen's Winton Flyer from The Reivers and even comic geniuses Laurel and Hardy's Ford Model T Touring car from Hog Wild.
More contemporary cars on show included the Batmobile from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns, the Mach 5 based on the animated 1967 cartoon Speed Racer and even the VW Transporter from the quirky comedy Little Miss Sunshine.
There are even cars like the 'Black Beauty' from TV series like The Green Hornet to discover.
Be sure to check them all out and also other vintage cars from America's history.
If you like these movie vehicles you may also like the racing cars from the Fast & Furious films.
