Acts of generosity like this don't just fix cars—they restore dignity, hope, and the belief that a better future is possible."The Petersen Automotive Museum, a world-renowned institution dedicated to exploring the automobile's impact on global life and culture, will provide the event venue, staffing assistance and logistical support."In a city where having a car is almost essential to daily life, we recognize the importance of dependable transportation, especially for those impacted by the recent Southern California wildfires and other hardships," states Terry L. Karges, Executive Director of the Petersen Automotive Museum.
