Bruce Meyer is a real estate investor and a car collector who is based in Los Angeles. He is the founding chairman of The Petersen Automotive Museum. Meyer is considered to an automotive enthusiast and has spent decades to build a collection of truly exceptional vehicles. He does not call himself a car collector, he thinks himself an "enthusiast". The garage he is having his car collection in was used to be a shoe store but the expert team fabricated the whole place with exceptional skills. Once the garage was ready, Meyer himself drove all the cars one by one to the garage. Raylene Meyer, the wife of Bruce Mayer says she loves her husband's car hobby and he is the one who infused the love of cars in her. She suggested Meyer use the space behind his office for a car museum as he ran out of space in his garage. When Bruce was two years old, his mother wrote in his baby book, it said: "Bruce love everything with the wheels" and this museum with vintage cars proved it right. His collection includes five Le Mans 24 hours' winners along with historic entries such as Bizzarrini. The Petersen Automotive Museum is just 50 feet from Meyer's office where he keeps his books, cars, lots of memories. He cherishes the moments when his family and friends visit the place. Bruce Meyer's son Evan Meyers recollects his childhood memories and says that he remembers the days when he attended car shows and events with his father and maybe he inherited the passion of cars from him. Bruce Meyer is indeed a role model for everyone who loves cars. His garage is like an art gallery filled with an exotic collection of cars. The board out his museum says "used cars". Everything he has in there is driven, raced or rallied.
