This is a “look but don’t touch” type of situation, minus the frustration that usually goes with it. Car enthusiasts and future owners of the new Ford Bronco now have a chance to see it in person before it even arrives in showrooms. 9 photos
It isn’t the first time that the iconic Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California, offers a first visual treat to car enthusiasts before the official production version of a vehicle is even out. In June last year, the Tesla electric truck, Cybertruck, went on display in the museum’s lobby. It was the first time anyone had the chance to properly see it in person and up close, not counting the many sightings across Los Angeles with Elon Musk at the wheel.

The story of the Snortin’ Nortin Chevy Nova starts with Larry Tunnel and Mick Newton, who sought to enter the rough-and-tumble world of off-road racing with something a little out of the ordinary. Rather than build a pickup or buggy, Tunnel and Newton decided to break from tradition and adapt a 1971 Chevy Nova coupe for SCORE Class 6 competition.

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has reopened, offering fans a cornucopia of top-shelf GM models to ogle. Among the precious metal on display is a number of custom rides belonging to Metallica frontman James Hetfield, headlined by this gorgeous 1953 Buick Skylark.
Nicknamed “Skyscraper,” Hetfield’s Buick Skylark takes inspiration from the factory customization process that set the original model apart from the 1952 Buick Roadmaster upon which it was based, extending the bespoke aesthetic to foster a more radical visual presentation.
To create Skyscraper, Hetfield employed the talents of Rick Dore Kustoms in California. The project was so successful, Hetfield turned to Rick Dore Kustoms for several additional builds in the years to follow.
