Los Angeles — The Petersen Automotive Museum is hosting a new exhibit that embraces the essence of retro car culture, evoking the nostalgia of a bygone era.
The museums latest showcase, “Totally Awesome!”, takes visitors on a nostalgic ride through the bold and unforgettable cars of the 1980s and 90s.
This exhibit showcases the flamboyant designs and cultural significance of some of the most iconic vehicles of the past. It reflects a time when cars were not merely means of transportation but also embodied elements of individual identity, fashion, and progress.
“Totally Awesome!” delves into the fusion of automotive design with popular culture, shedding light on how the proliferation of cable television, blockbuster movies, and the emergence of the digital era revolutionized both the visual aesthetics of cars and the marketing strategies associated with them.
Each car on display tells a story about that era. From slick production models to legendary race cars and big-screen stars, the lineup is nothing short of epic.
Standout vehicles include the DeLorean from “Back to the Future,” the powerful Buick GNX, and the iconic Lamborghini Countach.
Whether youve lived through that time yourself or discovering the era for the first time, “Totally Awesome!” is your all-access pass to the raddest rides of the late 20th century.
