@@PetersenMuseum Love this quick behind the scenes tour. Just one small point, and if I didn’t, I would feel like I’m letting my Porsche soul down. MR. Meyer’s stated that the 911 Carrera RS was fitted with a 3.0L, when I think he meant to say 2.7L engine. The following model was the RSR and that had the 3.0L engine installed. Thank you again for sharing this fabulous array of rolling history. FYI.... I live on Biscayne Bay here in Miami Beach and I have seen similar pictures to the one on your wall, at the Miami History Museum.
@@777jones Interesting, IF you look it up on line it says he was born in 1957. That would make a lot more sense of he was born in 1943 but where did you find that info???
@@raymondkyruana118 I was confused too I did my research on wikipedia the source of the birthdate is a dead link ? but he was born in 1941 according to this interview and I dont think the man would lie about being older www.automobilemag.com/news/bruce-meyer-feature-profile-cars-life/ " In 1957, I turned 16 years old" 1957-16 = 1941
I'm 58 yrs old and have been hearing about you and your cars for what seems like most of my life, thank you so much for letting us see them and preserving the history of hot rodding for the younger generations.
Thank you Mr. Meyer and all the staff at Petersen for showing us your collections and giving us interesting content to watch. I hope we see each other soon at the museum in person.
Passed up a 246 in 83. Was 8k and needed 4 k of work. Luigi back then kicked my ass. Labour ended up at 10k. Luigi said for you it would of been 3. Ohh well back then I was into 2 wheels , Ducati's.. 74 750ss , and a full race honda 750 ss on a haris frame and yosh equipped. 6 speed no electric start. Moral is enjoy when ya can. And their will be regrets
I purchased my first “Hot Rod” magazine in 1957, in Australia. It was an annual publication in black & white in A5 size. Hot Roding as such had not taken off in OZ at that time and my 1937 Ford sedan with no side covers on the 38:Mercury V8 with triple Strongberg 97 carbies, sure drew some attention.
Thanks Bruce for being the enthusiast that you are,and for sharing your collection and knowledge with us. It’s enthusiasts like yourself that are keepers of the history of these cars and pass the history to those who may never see cars like those or are too far away ( I’m in Canada). As well to a younger generation that may just be learning about these cars. We all started somewhere. Thanks Again Be well.
Between Bruce, Jay Leno and Chip Foose I would love to sit at the coffee shop with these guys and just talk cars and automotive history all day. Thanks for the tour.
We were at Lime Rock Park a few years ago and spoke with Bruce for at least 20 minutes. He is one of the most down to earth people you could ever meet and a huge asset to the automotive industry.
These tour and special videos are one of the few good things that came out of this stupid virus pandemic. Thanks for taking the time to share. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Bruce Thank you for taking the time to let us view your amazing collection of significant vehicles. I have been fortunate enough to see many of them in person at the Peterson and other venues. Your building has character and is a great backdrop for the collection. Also, thank you for all you do for the hobby.
Now there is some walking knowledge of cars,. Thanks Mr. Meyers and Peterson. Would never have seen this collection if it wasn’t for you guys and willing to share it. No secret anymore! Love it!
Bruce Meyer, very popular guy at Concourse D' Elegance, Pebble Beach , Ca,. I was there, when Bruce, won the only car raffled that year..M.C. Jay Leno, can't make this up! So funny...
I just admire the collection of Bruce Meyer. I'm old enough and fortunate enough to have seen Bill Harrah's Collection when he hit 2000 cars and acquired the second Bugatti Royal. That will never be repeated. I visited Jay's collection when it wasn't much more than his two Miuras and a bunch of Vincents. Jay has greatly expanded the number, but it is Bruce's collection that I covet. All three are wonderful, genuine enthusiasts... but now that the Harrah Collection has been distributed to the wind... it's Bruce's collection that stirs my heart.
I visited the Peterson Museum in 2019. I was so impressed. For me the highlight that day was the XKSS Steve McQueen Jaguar plus 'The Vault' tour. Thank you for sharing this content. Very very unique and special for me and future petrol enthusiasts. Thank you...
Love these, thanks Bruce! I remember seeing you years ago driving the Testarossa in Beverly Hills (my wife was driving at the time and I was freaking out trying to get her to go back so I could get a better look. I never thought I'd see anything like that driving on public streets in LA!) Love that you drive these as well.
Thank you Bruce.(Ill save the obvious banter, we all follow Bruce and his cars) While the arena in which you play is something of a daydream for the rest of us; it is VERY clear that you are the right man to help foster these cars/stories into the future. Because of your notoriety and the provenance of the garage, the gut says this may be an intimidating environment for most folks....but BECAUSE of your passion, the heart says we could drink coffee,tour and chat like peers. The love of the machine is truly a beautiful thing. (Big thanks to Petersen Automotive Museum for EVERYTHING you folks do. These visits are as close as most of us will get to these people and their stories. Cheers all.)
Dave - thank you so much for the kind note. We hope to see you one day and we know Bruce would say the same. You perfectly summed up true car culture, it's about passion. It doesn't matter what you drive, if you have the passion you can bond over any cars!
Bruce, Thanks for your "personal tour". Your walk thru definitely adds depth and dimension to an already fantastic collection. It's really appreciated. Superb!
Bruce as an amazing collections of incredible cars, i see Bruce many times in the car world, but i remember one day coming back from Newport Beach on PCH Saturday morning and there is Bruce opposite direction of the road sitting at a red light in is 1962 Cobra, anyways it was lots of fun
@@gordythecreator They were the Whittington Brothers from here in Ft. Lauderdale. At the time of the restoration, it had been sitting in the Indy 500 museum for 30 years, they discovered a trap door in the frame. After they found the old team mechanic, it was revealed that the frame cut out was to hide the NOS. Apparently, during qualifying at big tracks like Daytona, they would open the nitrous and blast out one super qualifying lap.
I feel really fortunate to have been on your tour. I recognize each of those special cars, and understand how significant they are. Job well done!! And ....... Thanks!!!
Thanks Bruce...a truly great collection of cars, bikes and boats that speak to you. Fantastic collection, oh how I remember that Corvette at LeMans.,. good stuff.
Bruce what a amazing collection of cars and motorcycles just the perfect amount , I always said to my friends you and Ralph Lauren have the perfect collection . 😊
Thankyou very much for the tour, I was lucky enough to see some of your collection at the Peterson when it was on display, the best museum anywhere, can’t wait to get back there one day, it’s just a long trip from Australia
Hi Peter, I'm in league several levels below you. My 1st car '72 Morris Mini, affectionately known now to many as the "Mr Bean car". Followed by 2 Alpha's, a black 1.5 green clover leaf Sprint (with a Knigh Rider red strobe light on the front. 😂). Then I bought a standard 1.5 ti 85bhp engine.. It was ported for track racing, putting out now about 130bhp on the rolling road.. I had it put onto a sud chassy which I found in local breakers yard, got everything welded, bolted and reinforced, put on 4 x alleycat alloys with just about road legal (track tyres) + twin chrome webbers, twin asna exhaust tips, and a beautiful ferrari red respray. I only took it out at weekends when she was hungry. She liked ford XR3i's for breakfast + golf gti's for lunch & dinner 😂😂. With front wheel drive she cornered like on tracks. I bought and sold several cars since, but nothing compares or brings back memories like alpha's that broke down mechanically / rusted / electrically and left me stuck on the side of the road more times than a stubborn mule. 😉😎🌈
Being born and raised next to LAX in Westchester, I have always had that SoCal hot rod bug, motorcycles as well. Growing up the Paisano Brothers, I'm not sure which brother, lived only 3 blocks away and kept their dragsters in the garage and we'd get to see the car as they moved it in and out of the trailer. Their daughter Toni was friends of my sisters along with Cindy Halibrand the granddaughter of the famous racing wheel manufacturer Ted Halibrand. My mom knew the Iskendarian family and their shop in Culver City, another friend was the best custom header builder for Headman headers, Bob McGuy, one of my dad's best friends when I was a kid was one of the original Baja racers in the late 1960s and into the mid 70s, pre SCORE years Randy Bowyer. He raced against Parnelli Jones, James Garner, Malcom Smith, Mickey Thompson, Walker Evans and many more. Anyways, seeing your garage and the vehicles you own was incredible. The history you have is amazing. Thanks for sharing

Simply incredible! Bruce is such a gift to the enthusiast community
Yes he is Shawn!

What’s great about Bruce is that he will drive these gems to the local cars and coffee in LA where you can see and hear them in motion.
Bruce is the # 1 car enthusiast on this planet - THANK YOU for all you've done for our hobby, in your most selfless and generous yet humble way!
Randy, A huge thank you from Bruce!
Clearly, this man was born into cars I mean WHO buys a 300SL Gullwing as their first car!!!!??? LOL
he was 7 years old in 1964 so i'm a little confused

The best part of Bruce's collection is that all of LA gets to see these cars in person in public and ripping around the streets of LA. Thanks Bruce!
As Bruce says "Never Lift"!
Thank you Bruce, for making car museums come alive, we can not get enough of this stories. Please keep it up,
Thank you Mr. Meyer and all the staff at Petersen for showing us your collections and giving us interesting content to watch. I hope we see each other soon at the museum in person.
He clearly has taste and means but his heart is in the hot rods and the number 1 Cobra. Can't argue with that. Thanks Mr Meyer well done.
Bruce, thanks for sharing your wonderful collection, and for caring for them so well. A really enjoyable treat today.
Many thanks!
A cool guy with a spectacular garage.
Beautiful collection, I really enjoyed watching and listening to your tour. I also had a 275GTB-4 that I bought in 1971, I wish I didn't sell it.

Hi Peter, I'm in league several levels below you. My 1st car '72 Morris Mini, affectionately known now to many as the "Mr Bean car". Followed by 2 Alpha's, a black 1.5 green clover leaf Sprint (with a Knigh Rider red strobe light on the front. 😂). Then I bought a standard 1.5 ti 85bhp engine.. It was ported for track racing, putting out now about 130bhp on the rolling road.. I had it put onto a sud chassy which I found in local breakers yard, got everything welded, bolted and reinforced, put on 4 x alleycat alloys with just about road legal (track tyres) + twin chrome webbers, twin asna exhaust tips, and a beautiful ferrari red respray. I only took it out at weekends when she was hungry. She liked ford XR3i's for breakfast + golf gti's for lunch & dinner 😂😂. With front wheel drive she cornered like on tracks. I bought and sold several cars since, but nothing compares or brings back memories like alpha's that broke down mechanically / rusted / electrically and left me stuck on the side of the road more times than a stubborn mule. 😉😎🌈
I deliver cars to the Peterson Museum regularly (Intercity Lines) and the staff there are always a pleasure to work with. Absolutely top notch people.
