The Petersen Automotive Museum raised a record net $1.2 million at its virtual 26th Annual Gala Celebration on Sept. 26. During the festivities, the museum teased three new exhibits set to launch this month, including a new supercar display with more than 30 cars, chronicling the rise of the supercar across automotive history.
The event also featured a live auction in which a 1961 MGA Outlaw restored by the museum broke records and became the highest-selling MGA in history. The proceeds generated from the sale of this vehicle and the other auction lots benefit its exhibits and the Hammertime education programs, which includes The Bruce Meyer Automotive Scholarship, which supports vocational training and internships.
