Gayle Anderson reports the Petersen Automotive Museum, rated the number one automotive museum in the world, is more than a venue displaying fancy vehicles. The Petersen also has an educational element and a restoration department division.
Those divisions are teaching the public about C.R. Patterson & Sons the first Black-owned car company. The restoration department is teaching the public about The Corwin, a mid-engine sports car designed by Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper photographer Cliff Hall. The Corwin is on display in “The Vault” at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
