None of these have any FI cars, but they are some of my favorite SoCal
automotive sights.
The Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire Blvd.

Roger Penske has a collection of his Indy Car/CART cars at his Longo Toyota
dealership in El Monte.

The NHRA has a big new museum near the site of the Winternationals in
Pomona:

There is a very cool American Muscle Car museum in Ventura which houses the
collection of Otis Chandler, onetime publisher of the LA Times and sponsor
of the Can Am races at Riverside International Raceway.
The Nethercut Collection in Sylmar has some very nice examples of
over-restoration with quite a few concours winners in the collection.
I heve seen some cars at vintage events from the Marconi Collection in
Tustin, California. I do not know if their collection is open to the public,
but the do take them out and race them. They have a number of ex-F1 cars, as
well as a few cars of lesser formula of some historical significance.

Hi Folks,
I know this is a bit off-topic, but I thought I'd ask anyway. My question:
are there any good venues to see F1 cars in the L.A. area (auto museums,
etc.)?

PS Pining away in Nashville, (where we do have a--ahem--NASCAR Cafe--a very
weird thing, I think.) Has a stockcar parked in front.
