Cars, Music, and Movies

***Hear a brief summary of the Petersen’s history, as well as a description of some of its current cars, including those with music and movie connections!

***There is a brief mention of a monkey with multiple butts.

***This episode is not intended for children, due to both the ratings/content of the films discussed and some language.

***Big thanks to 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider owner, Andrew, for both your time and inspiration! Photos of this car will soon be available on the “Gallery” page of the website.

I was inspired to choose the Testarossa by Greg, a friend of mine, who happens to own a white, or “Bianco Avus” version of the car. Photos of this car are available on the “Gallery” page of the website.

I was inspired to perform brief instrumental and vocal excerpts from "Days Like These," originally perfomred by Matt Monro. I would like to recommend the 1969 film, The Italian Job, starring Michael Caine and a talented supporting cast, including a gorgeous Miura! The film’s soundtrack was produced by Quincy Jones and is on the MCA Records label. It is a fantastic score! You can view photos of the Miura, as described in this episode, on the “Gallery” page of this site. Thanks to the Petersen Automotive Museum, in Los Angeles, for providing the lovely 1968 Miura, which I photographed and posted on the “Gallery” page of this site. If you are in town, I urge you to go to the Petersen Automotive Museum and see it for yourself!

You can view photos of the DB11 described in this episode on the “Gallery” page of this site.
