  • Today, we tour the Bugatti and french car collection of Peter W. Mullin. Petersen has had a lifelong romance with automobiles. He is a devoted supporter of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and other concours events around the globe. He has entered and driven his cars in vintage races and rallies for the last 25 years, both in the United States and abroad.
    Founded in 2010, the Mullin Automotive Museum strives to educate guests about 20th-century French automotive styling and design. The museum boasts nearly 47,000 square feet of exhibit space in an elegantly designed structure, which was previously owned by legendary newspaper publisher Otis Chandler. Peter Mullin is Board Member of the Petersen Automotive Museum, President of the American Bugatti Club, and an active participant and supporter of the Los Angeles Community.

    If you're staying in LA, this is only about an hour away and is an absolute must see museum. The collection is all French, and all fantastic. The docent led tours are thorough, informative - but when you are finished, the best part is that you can wander at will throughout the collection. There's also a fantastic art deco collection including what I'd call a gentlemen's club/bar area and some Carlo Bugatti furniture. The presentation of nearly everything is stunning and you should budget several hours to drink it all it. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately these are over restored "trailer queens" that don't get driven. At least Jay Leno drives his old Bugatti's and other classics. I hope to see these in person some day. This reminds me of the old adage, "They don't build them like they used to". Thank you.

    It would be nice if Peter Mullin could better pronounce the name "Voisin". I am French and it took me some time to understand the strange word he was saying until I saw "Voisin" and understood this was what he was trying to pronounce...
    So the main thing that would make "Voisin" understandable is that in French, the "V" letter is pronounced "V", like in "Vehicle", i.e. just like in English. Replacing the "V" with a kind of "H" to pronounce "Hoisin" makes it totally unrecognizable (for French people at least).
    Apart from this, what an incredible collection of beautiful hehicles!!!
