THE $9.99 SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET This buffet is to die for! Includes tender and juicy pork roast and $3.00 Mimosas. Dine in or on our sunny patio. Petersen Automotive Museum Continued from Page 19 e third floor is the Discovery Center – a chance for the kids to go wild. ey can sit on a CHP motorcycle, a Model T Ford or an Indy car and learn about mechanics and gears on some of the exhibits. With 200 cars in reserve as well as the 130 on display the exhibits change regularly, so each visit you’ll see some- thing different. Currently wowing visitors is “Supercars: When Too Much is Almost Enough”, highlighting the supermodels: Ferrari, Bugatti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche and many more – they’re all from different eras, and James Bond would look right at home behind the wheel of any of them. ere’s also Elvis Presley’s yellow De Tomaso Pantera.

If I could get a Miller racing car from the 1920s, that would be a dream. Harry Miller was a local guy, a genius.
