La

HAMBERS,
I am heading to LA shortly with the wife, she has a conference and I am going to play. What places, shops, etc. do I need to see? Help me out.

 

Knowing when might help us...

 

Try this:

One street, 3 shops- Dave Martinez, Old Crow, Hollywood Hot Rods
Palm Avenue
Burbank, CA

 

If you're in L.A., go to the Petersen Automotive Museum. Can't be missed. And ditto with ELD

 

Definetely go to the Nethercutt museum in Sylmar. Do the San Sylmar tour if you can. Phone first.

 

Same question as other poster, WHEN? Also what interests does your wife have so you can entertain her when she is not at the conference? Do you have any interests other than cars? What type of cars, stockers, hot rods, Fords, non-Ford (specify)?

Ill be out in LA in the fall, and again next spring. When I was in San Diego last year I hit Foose, Poor Boys, NHRA Museum in Pomona, So Cal Speed Shop and West Coast Choppers. Hollywood Hot Rods is Tops on my list for the Fall. Keep the suggestions coming

 

Come in the right part of Fall and hit the Calif Hot Rod Reunion. One of the best gigs, EVER.

 

Try to get to the Justice Brothers Museum.
Easy to get to, free admission, awesome displays....
Lots of history in 2 large buildings... and usually overlooked.

Definitely stop at Tommy's and have a chili burger.

 

Be sure to go to the REAL Tommy's on Beverly & Rampart.

La Brea Tap Pits, down the street from The Petersen Collection.

 

Mardi Gras comes to mind, if you go to LA in the spring.
