Garage Tour of Bruce Meyer’s Legendary Car Collection

The Petersen Museum continues to deliver outstanding content to the public despite the difficulties faced by the pandemic. A recent highlight provided by the Museum is a personal garage tour by Bruce Myer through his private car collection.

Meyer is internationally known for his passion and devotion to preserving hot rod history and historic motorsports. There is no more prominent advocate for the love of cars than Bruce Meyer. His energy for cars has influenced a whole generation of car enthusiasts.

Despite his breathtaking collection of cars, Bruce considers himself more of a car enthusiast rather than a collector of cars given his active involvement in the hobby for over 60 years now.

The below video, produced by the Petersen Museum, takes you through a virtual tour of Bruce Meyer’s marvelous collection of hotrods and unique cars.
