Last week I visited the new Peter Mullin Museum in Oxnard, California. The building is actually the same one previously used by Otis Chandler to house his vast collection of cars that ranged from Duesenbergs to Hemi 'Cudas.
The Mullin Museum houses a more focused collection of cars, mostly French automobiles from the 1920s through the 1940s. The star of the show, in my opinion, is the blood red 1939 Delahaye T165 pictured above.
The collection of Bugattis inside this Museum is probably the most impressive on the planet. You'll see not only vintage models like the orange 1924 T46, sitting on the round pedastal in this picture, but also an EB110, one of the 139 Bugatti supercars made in the early 1990s.
The Mullin Museum is only open one or two days a month, and you'll want to call several weeks in advance to reserve a space. We were able to get 12 slots a month in advance, but two weeks out from our date all spaces were sold out.
Cost is $10 a person, and the museum's collection (and interior features) will continue to evolve in the coming months.
