Then Peterson's Auto Museum, where I spent my time in looking at the James Bond cars! This was an exhibit titled "Bond in Motion," A review of the vehicle used over the history of Bond movies.
The interior of Pann's. We ordered from their "50's" menu: Hot chocolate, French toast, strawberries, bacon, a loaded "dream burger" with cheese and all the trimmings- lettuce, tomato, sauce, and a side of potato salad!
Photos of movie star clientele covered the walls. But the stars of the show were the wonderful, attentive staff!
Then it was off to Peterson's Auto Museum, where I spent most of my time looking at the
James Bond cars! Their exhibit titled "Bond in Motion" was a review
of the vehicles used over the history of Bond movies.
But there was plenty more to see, too, like this 1939 Bugatti! Such a lovely car!
Looking through the right door, we could see everything!
Great historical write ups on the placards!
One of the earliest motorcycles made. We studied it, and couldn't find the brakes. Guess what: There AREN'T any! A docent told us no one had ever asked him that question before.
Turns out, many of the first cars and motorcycles used the THROTTLE to slow down and shut off the motor. He added that despite the slower speeds, there were many, many accidents. Also note the many levers that had to be manipulated while the vehicle was in motion.
Steering one-handed with no brakes-- Yikes!
