Wow, I was just at the Petersen Museum yesterday while on a layover in Los Angeles.

One of my favorite exhibits at the Petersen was this 1960s suburban California garage, removed and relocated to the museum. This one froze me for 10 minutes as I flashed-back to my parents' house in the SF bay area where I grew up. Any of us near or over 40 can identify with this one. My mom drove a blue '66 Falcon and dad had a blue '67 Healey, both with black plates just like these.
