(05-23-2019) - Randy & Hot Rod Bob attend the LAPD VTAC Show in the Valley and catch up with owners of classic hearses and ambulances to find out why they collect those unusual vehicles. Then it's to the Automobile Driving Museum to chat with some of all female group that is rebuiklding a '55 GMC truck.

Move over, Detroit. Southern California is the automotive capital of the United States and the world. And among many other reasons, Southern California deserves this moniker because of its plethora of world-class automotive museums.  They range from life-size Hot Wheels collections to Bugatti and Ferrari exhibits and much more. iDriveSoCal's (opinionated) contributor Clinton "The Professor" Quan created a list of his top five favorites.  But there's more for sure.  So you can listen to the Professor and I debate his Top-5 and continue reading below for even more Southern California Automotive Museums. Top Five Southern California Automotive Museums The Marconi Automotive Museum - Tustin 1. Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin: Non-Profit Benefiting Kids The Marconi Automotive Museum is the only car museum in Orange County. It's open Monday through Friday, with some events on the weekends. Besides a yearly open house, this museum hosts fight nights and private events, and it donates profits to children's charities. The car collection includes several Ferraris, as well as other race cars. The Automobile Driving Museum - El Segundo 2. Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo: A Special Place For Generations The Automobile Driving Museum is one of the most unique Southern California museums. It was first located in West Los Angeles. It later moved to the South Bay in El Segundo, near LAX, because it outgrew its former location. This museum stands out because every Sunday, three different classic cars are brought out of the collection, and car enthusiasts can ride in them. The museum is located in a garage because all of the cars regularly take a turn for those weekend drives. There's a separate building where this museum hosts Hot Wheels weekend events, which includes real life-size versions of Mattel Hot Wheels cars. The Petersen Automotive Museum - Los Angeles 3. Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles: One of the Largest Southern California Automotive Museums The Petersen Automotive Museum showcases its collection of more than 300 cars in over 10,000 square feet of exhibit space in the heart of Los Angeles. It's one of the largest car museums in the United States. This museum is well known for its events and for its unique exhibits, such as the classic Japanese car collection or its low rider collection. The exhibits change often, so visitors never get bored. This museum is also developing programs to help attract children toward future jobs in the automotive industry. The Nethercutt Collection - Sylmar 4. The Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar: Elegant Cars and More The Nethercutt Collection is a hidden gem with more than 200 cars on display. This collection has won the Best of Show award at Pebble Beach more often than any other collection. All of the cars showcased here are Concours d'Elegance caliber.  This museum has two sets of buildings. One allows car fans to take self-guided tours, but the other building requires reservations and guided tours, and it's only open a few days per week. Besides vintage cars, this museum also displays musical instruments and furniture. Mullin Automotive Museum - Oxnard 5. Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard: The Professor's Favorite The Mullin Automotive Museum, which is located in Ventura County, features all French cars in its collection. The exhibits include Bugatti and Wago models, but the museum is only open to the general public two days a month. Car enthusiasts who want special showings on weekdays pay double the price. The museum is located in what was previously The Vintage Museum, founded by Los Angeles Times publisher Otis Chandler. It's since been renovated, with a floor plan that allows plenty of space for the cars on display. Honorable Mentions Because you cannot leave out a few other Southern California Automotive Museums here's the list continued.  Each with its own niche.

On June 9, 1909, as rained poured down on New York City, a young, poncho-cloaked woman got behind the wheel of a touring car that was a bit tricky to maneuver. Back then, paved roads were far and few between, and there was no air conditioning or roadside service to save the day. But these minor technicalities didn’t stop this fearless adventurer from making history. Before Amelia Earhart made her legendary flight across the Atlantic, before Naomi James sailed single-handedly around the world, at a time when society was still very much “driven” by men, one road-trippin’ housewife paved the way for women to hit the open road. Her trip would make her the first woman to drive across the United States from coast to coast. Have you ever heard of Alice Ramsey?

Whether you're a young kid or a kid-at-heart The Automobile Driving Museum is a guaranteed treat for every automotive enthusiast. It's one of the coolest museums in Southern California. It offers antique Model T's all the way up to a '95 Viper and 2000 Saleen. And not only is it okay to touch and sit in the cars but you can swing by on Sundays and go for a free ride! Hear the details from co-founder Stanley Zimmerman himself in this episode of the iDriveSoCal Podcast. ***Transcript*** Recorded March 14, 2018, in El Segundo, CA The Automobile Driving Museum - Like None Other! Stanley Zimmerman: We would go to car shows, generally, everybody else had a sign up saying, "Look but don't touch" their precious jewel. And we thought differently. We thought that we should invite the public, particularly, young children to sit in our cars. And go for a ride in them. They're not immobile. They are moving art and so to enjoy them, you have to use them. We bring out three or four cars from our collection, and people line up and get a ride. It's no charge; it's all free. Tom Smith: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Today is a pretty fun day for me, actually, already has been because I've been getting a tour through The Automobile Driving Museum here in El Segundo, California. Those of you from Southern California know that El Segundo is adjacent to LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. And sitting with me right now is the founder of the Automobile Driving Museum, Mr. Stanley Zimmerman, Stanley, thank you so much for joining us. Stanley Zimmerman: My pleasure to be here and talk with you. Tom Smith: So the Automobile Driving Museum, you're the founder. It was your vision long ago. Can you kind of start off with a high-level explanation, summary? "We bring out three or four cars from our collection, and people line up and get a ride. It's no charge; it's all free." Stanley Zimmerman: Correctly, I am a co-founder of it along with a man called Earl Rubenstein who's no longer active in the museum. He's busy with his profession as an architect. And we're both car collectors, primarily, and we would go to car shows and to car exhibits, concourses, and we would be there with our cars and, generally, everybody else had a sign up saying, "Look but don't touch" their precious jewel. And we thought differently. Driving Children's Interest at The Automobile Driving Museum We thought that we should invite the public, particularly, young children to sit in our cars. And so between us we had discussions and said someday, we'd like to have a museum for our cars where the public could come and sit in them, bring their children, and let their children sit in them and go for a ride in them. They're not immobile. They are moving art and so to enjoy them, you have to use them. Tom Smith: And how long ago did you actually execute on that dream that became a vision that became a reality? "We thought that we should invite the public, particularly, young children to sit in our cars. And go for a ride in them." Stanley Zimmerman: In the beginning, it was just car clubs coming and maybe bringing their families for meetings; it wasn't the general public. But in 2002, I was able to get the use of a large underground or semi-underground garage under a preschool, which they weren't using. And so we put our cars there and started with leaving a few cars out on the street with a sign on them, "There is a museum around the corner." In West Los Angeles it was. And so we'd get a few people coming in and then I decided that it would be worthwhile making it a public museum so that there are some tax benefits, but it also meant that the collection could go on. It wouldn't be limited by our lifetimes. And then we did that for, oh, three or four years before we had the opportunity to acquire this building in El Segundo,
