In this episode of Car Stories, hosts Dan and Bea sit down with Petersen insiders Autumn and Jonee to go behind the scenes of the museum’s latest exhibit, Totally Awesome. Celebrating the bold design, analog thrills, and pop culture flair of the 1980s and 1990s, the exhibit explores everything from rad supercars to era-defining trends.

Learn how the idea came to life, which cars made the final cut, and why this era still resonates with car lovers today. Whether you’re a child of the 80s or discovering the magic for the first time, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

The exhibit will be open until April 2026 and you can secure your tickets at www.petersen.org or check out our YouTube channel if you are unable to visit: (1) Petersen Automotive Museum - YouTube
