California, U.S.A is a great place to be if you’re a classic car fan there’s the annual festivities in Monterey, the world-class concours in Palm Springs, and car museums like the Petersen and Nethercutt Collections. Now, another large classics collection is being prepared to be opened to the public next month. Opening on April 15 in Oxnard, California, the Mullin Automotive Museum is ready to show the vehicles of Pebble Beach-winner and Monterey Historics racer Peter Mullin, and could be a must-see attraction if you find yourself in the area.

Apparently the Mullin Automotive Museum will pay homage to the art deco and machine age design eras (1918-1941). The musuem centerpiece will be a huge collection of unrestored Bugattis, but  other iconic old school brands like Delahaye, Delage, Talbot-Lago, Voisin and Hispano-Suiza should feature. There will also be French cars with coachwork by masters like Chapron, Figoni et Falaschi, Gangloff, Vanvooren, Labourdette, Letourneur et Marchand and Saoutchik among others.

The museum will also show art and furniture from the same era and will have an entire floor devoted to “Club Bugatti.” The Mullin will provide a home to 100 gorgeous vehicles of the era and also some less beautiful but still significant vehicles including 30 unrestored cars and a collection of Grand Prix and Le Mans cars. So if your travels ever take you to Oxnard, California be sure to check it out.
