Petersen Automotive Museum

VW stands to alter the automotive landscape yet again by building only electric cars by 2026, an initiative that begins in earnest with the introduction of its electric “I.D.” model in 2019. Through experiences both physical and virtual, visitors will come to learn how MEB-based vehicles were conceived, the variety of models that will be built, the uniquely flexible nature of the platform, and how the cars will be assembled. The exhibition will explore what it takes to strategize, design, test, construct, and utilize the products of an electrified automotive future.

OFFICIAL BOND VEHICLE EXHIBIT

The exhibit celebrates the 60th anniversary of the 007 films, since Dr. No was released in 1962. With the publication of his first spy novel, Casino Royale (1953), author and former naval intelligence officer Ian Fleming introduced the world to the enchanting exploits of James Bond, a British officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6. In all, Fleming would produce twelve novels and two short stories, laying the foundation for what would become a global literary and cinematic legacy.

It was fascinating seeing this vast collection of autos including restored antiques, race cars & vehicles from famous movies.

This museum made me appreciate vehicles of all sorts in a way I would’ve never have thought of. It’s fascinating seeing the transition of design, aesthetics, shapes, and materials used over time.
