Petersen museum cars will drive streets of L.A. in President’s Day parade

The Petersen Automotive Museum is kicking off its 25th anniversary celebration by taking to the streets of Los Angeles on President's Day, Feb. 18, for a parade of historic automobiles that tie in with Hollywood and the city's love of cars. It's billed as a way to thank the city for its support over the Petersen's first quarter-century. The parade will drive eight historic or iconic Hollywood automobiles past some of the city's most famous landmarks, led by a Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton that was used by Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon and dignitaries including the Apollo 11 astronauts after their return to Earth.
