"A visit to the Petersen Automotive Museum Vault is a MUST … We were overwhelmed with the large number of priceless automobiles in the collection."

"A must‑see for anyone interested in cars or history … The cars in the regular museum are great but the vault is just a whole different level of automotive history."

— Susan96734 on Tripadvisor

"...some really spectacular autos that are just works of art. We did the vault and that is worth it, the volume of cars they pack in there is crazy, a really good selection."
