Petersen reopens with four new exhibits

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has reopened on a Wednesday through Sunday basis and offers free admission to healthcare workers, first responders and their guests throughout 2021.

The reopening showcases in-person viewing of three exhibits that opened in 2020 online: “Supercars: A century of Spectacle and Speed,” which showcases the evolution of the supercar; “Extreme Conditions,” which highlights 11 custom competition, recreational, and utilitarian off-roading vehicles; and “Redefining Performance” which features Porsche’s most innovative road and race vehicles.

Supercars

Porsches

Going to extremes

Also featured is “The Aesthetic of Motoring: 90 Years of Pininfarina,” an exhibition of four milestone examples of the evolution of the Italian design company’s styling. The cars are a 1931 Cadillac Model 452A boattail roadster, a 1947 Cisitalia 202 coupe, a 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta 206 GT prototype and a 2019 Automobili Pininfarina Battista. The Dino will be part of the display only briefly and will be replaced by a 1967 Ferari 365P Berlinetta Speciale “Tre Posti.”

“With its commitment to elegant, aerodynamic design and small-scale production, Pininfarina has created some of the most innovative and revered car designs in the history of the automobile,” Petersen executive director Terry Karges is quoted in the museum’s announcement. “The new exhibit will provide visitors with a behind-the-scenes look at the company’s design history while paying homage to its innovation through these four rarely-seen vehicles.”

Paolo Pininfarina, Pininfarina Group chairman, added, “The models on display perfectly represent our identity, which today is the same as in the 1930s: the centrality of design, an aesthetic sense capable of creating timeless beauty, the obsession with quality, the force of a tradition that combines industry, technology and stylistic research.”

Tickets must be purchased in advance through the museum website. Face masks will be required of all visitors and the museum will employ social distancing guidelines.

Greenwood Corvette at Hall of Fame

Joining the vehicles on display at the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America museum in Daytona Beach, Florida, is the “Spirit of Le Mans” Chevrolet Corvette raced by John Greenwood, who put the car on the IMSA-class pole and posted the fastest straightaway speed at the French race in 1976.

“Few cars say American motorsports louder and prouder than a big-block, ‘Stars and Stripes’ John Greenwood Corvette,” said museum president George Levy.

“Detroit brothers John and Burt Greenwood stunned the racing world with a succession of rapid Corvettes,” the museum noted in its news release. “In them, John won the 1970 and ’71 SCCA A Production national titles and took a class win with television star Dick Smothersat the 1972 12 Hours of Sebring. John also stood on the top step at the 1974 IMSA Championship Finals at Daytona International Speedway… and captured the 1975 SCCA Trans-Am title among a bevy of other wins, poles and fastest laps.”

The “Stars and Stripes” Corvette, wearing race number 76 during the American bicentennial year, has a unique wide-body fabrication, generated more than 1,000 pounds of downforce and had a 467cid all-aluminum V8 rated at up to 725 horsepower.

New British car museum

After being delayed in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Great British Car Journey museum plans to open in late May in the former Wire Works site in Ambergate, Derbyshire, UK. A 150-car collection is being set up as an interactive, table-led trip through the story of the British auto industry and its role in the global transportation revolution.

“The enforced break, through both ill health and the pandemic, means Great British Car Journey is coming back stronger having given us the opportunity to acquire even more fantastic British made and designed classic cars,” according to co-founder Richard Usher, former owner of Auto Windscreens and of the Blyton Park racing circuit.

In addition to the cars, the museum will offer a “Drive Dad’s Car” experience featuring more than 30 British vehicles, from an Austin Seven to a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, that can be driven with an instructor on an on-site driving route.

For more information, visit the museum’s website.

AACA Museum pioneer passes

The AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania, has announced the death of Richard Taylor, one of the museum’s “founding fathers,” after a lengthy illness.

Taylor, of Mansfield, Ohio, not only was among those pushing for the establishment of the Antique Automobile Club of America’s museum, he was its first president and used his expertise from Taylor Brothers Construction to make the best use of its resources. The museum also was one of the first museums in the US to employ geothermal climate control.

The “Driven to Win” exhibition opens March 26 at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan.

Classic Race Cars Were the Best Part of This Year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona

The window-rattling thunder from this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona has long since subsided, but we can’t shake flashes of that incredible race from our minds. Of course, the on-track action inspires plenty of reminiscing, but it’s what was in the infield that has us daydreaming the most. As is customary, a section of the infield spectator area played parking lot to classic race cars of Daytonas past.

Sandwiched between a sprawling beer pavilion and the primary team garage area, this field of Daytona classic race cars is knee-buckling in breadth and significance. There’s a little bit for every enthusiast; Detroit iron had ample representation at this year’s display with a smattering of Mustangs, Camaros, and a trio of musclebound Greenwood Corvettes. Predictably, Porsche was out in full force with the enigmatic Gunnar G99-001, 962-14B, a 914-6, and a handful of 911s. From the other side of the world, a flame-spitting Mazda RX-8 and a Skyline GT-R gave JDM fans an earful of screaming rotary and howling inline six, respectively.

We’ve highlighted a few of our favorites below, but make sure to hit the full gallery for the entire field of Daytona classics.

Greenwood Corvettes

Thanks to the many successes of the Corvette Racing team, it’s hard to imagine endurance racing without at least one Corvette on the grid. Prior to the debut and subsequent domination of the Corvette C5-R in 1999, General Motors rarely backed Corvette race teams in any serious capacity, instead focusing on the competition careers of the Camaro and Monza.

That didn’t stop privateers from modifying their own Corvettes and hitting the race circuit in search of glory. Of the many solo ‘Vette outings over the years, none made as strong an impact as John Greenwood and his Stingrays. The racer and car fabricator turned a handful of C3-generation Corvettes into swollen, star-spangled endurance racing juggernauts, blowing eardrums and burning rubber at Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans.

Even by modern standards, these are terrifying machines. Monster 10.8-liter (660 ci) V-8s spit out around 1,000 hp, routed to the massive rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission. Of course, this made these ‘Murica-mobiles unbelievably fast, shattering both lap and speed records with abandon. Despite three unsuccessful runs at Daytona in 1976, 1977, and 1978, the Greenwood Corvette holds the likely unbeatable title of fastest top speed recorded on the Daytona banking – 236 mph.

Gunnar G-99

Ce n’est pas une 911 GT1. Yes, despite sharing an identical silhouette, Porsche 911 GT3 drivetrain, and Porsche script scattered around the exterior, this isn’t an actual Porsche 911 GT1. This is a Gunnar-Porsche G99, a race prototype built from the ground up on a custom chassis for use by Champion Racing, though the team decided to campaign a Lola for the 2000 season. The G-99 returned for the 2003 Rolex Sports Car Series, but was quickly banned following a switch to Daytona Prototypes later that year.

2011 BMW M3 GT

In honor of BMW taking the GTLM class win at this year’s race, we had to feature this legendary E92 M3 GT that took the ALMS Driver, Team, and Manufacturer championships in 2011—along with back-to-back class wins at Sebring in 2011 and 2012. What a way to send the first—and last—V-8-powered M3 out with a bang.
