New Mullin Automotive Museum Features Many Rare Cars Huffington Post (blog)

07.05.10

The Mullin Automotive Museum - the most exciting new museum in my world - is just a one-hour drive from Los Angeles.

There are supposedly Eight Wonders of the World... things like The Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt. But now there is a Ninth! And I am privileged to tell you about it here.

To start at the beginning... some years ago I met a fascinating couple, Peter and Merle Mullin. A successful insurance executive, he was a daredevil race car driver, skier and devilishly-handsome all-around bon vivant. She was and is a beautiful, charming and astute art collector with a highly-refined visual sense. When he heard that I was a devoted fan of old classic cars, he smiled and said, "Come by our house tomorrow." When I did, he took me down a flight of stairs into his enormous basement... and at that moment my life changed... much for the better. There, in that downstairs space, were eight of the most beautiful older automobiles I had ever seen in my life! Several Delahayes from France in the late 30s, and a trio of Bugattis, the rarest, most expensive cars in the world.
