On any given day, the Petersen Automotive Museum is an incredible place to visit, boasting any number of amazing displays and exhibits that any automotive fan is sure to drool over. But this Father’s Day, the museum is doing something a little extra special for the car-loving dads out there – it’s hosting a special event that will give visitors the chance to peek under the hoods of over a dozen rare and unique vesicles from its expansive collection.
This special event will include a Pininfarina-designed 1947 Cisitalia 202 Coupe, the iconic 1989 Batmobile driven by Michael Keaton in Batman and Batman Returns, a 1952 Ferrari 212/225 Barchetta – the last Barchetta ever built and the last non-racing Ferrari bodied by Touring Superleggera, a 1956 Jaguar XKSS formerly owned by the king of cool – Steve McQueen, and Metallic singer James Hetfield‘s 1963 Lincoln Continental dubbed “The Dead Kennedy.”
In addition to these notable rides, the Petersen’s special Father’s Day under the hood event will also feature a number of iconic classics and modern classics including a 1913 Mercer Type 35-J Raceabout, 1923 Mercedes 28/95 Targa Florio, 1933 Duesenberg SJ Convertible Coupe by Murphy, Rick Dore and James Hetfield‘s 1953 Buick Skylark named “Skyscraper,” a 1967 Ford GT40 Mark III, 1969 Corwin Getaway, 1970 Fiat Shellette, and 1994 Bugatti EB110.
This amazing collection of cars will be on display on June 20, 2021, at the Petersen Automotive Museum from 10 am to 5 pm. However, because of current COVID-19 protocols, advanced tickets are required for those that want to experience this rare event. Those can be purchased by heading over here, which is also where prospective visitors can secure tickets to a host of other awesome Petersen exhibits, including the legendary “vault,” which features over 200 incredible cars, trucks, and motorcycles, as well as The RUF Gallery, which celebrates the iconic German automaker.
Since you probably bought your dad a pair of socks or a silly grilling apron for Father’s Day, why not treat him to what he really wants – a chance to check out some of the coolest machines on the planet, dive under their respective hoods, and geek out on some automotive history?
