One of the more famous car culture attractions in Southern California is the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Founded by magazine publisher Robert E. Petersen and his wife Margie in 1994, it is one of the world’s largest automotive museums with more than 100 cars on display in its 25 galleries. The cars on display span more than 100 years of automotive history, featuring everything from a 1967 Ford GT40 Mark III, to the 1981 DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future and the 1989 Batmobile. Currently, a special exhibit about the rise of Porsche after World War II, called The Porsche Effect is on display now and runs through April 15.
