The Petersen's curator Leslie Kendall and his crew assembled an amazing selection of some of the world's most unique
automobiles. There are many contributors to the exhibit including several fine examples loaned from Bruce Weiner's Microcar
Museum in Georgia.

It was truly an international affair
with manufacturers that represented the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Czechoslovakia,
Ukraine and of course Japan. Model years ranged from 1914 to 2005.

Glenn
and Valerie Roberts' fantastic 1961 Mazda R360 Coupe was in attendance. Parked between it and the S600 was a 1958 Goggomobil Dart TS-300!

Far
be it from me to put my car on a pedestal but the folks at the Petersen did! I was flattered to be included in such a great collection.

Restored by Tim "Merciless" Mings, this award winning N600
is owned by Jon Foster. I dare say they didn't look this good fresh off the boat!
Above is a sweet Z600 owned by Bill Colford. You rarely
see these cars not to mention in this condition. It is a rare treat to behold!
Below is also a rare sight. A Tim Mings restored N600 engine on a factory
engine stand. I had never seen an engine so clean!
|
His "N" sports the unusual but correct blue exterior with
red interior. I only hope my N600 will look this good one day!
Bill's car is in the lobby so it is one of the first microcars
you see when you arrive.
