Story and photos by Joseph Duray

Peter Mullin was a world-class collector of French cars from mainly the pre-war era. His collection was magnificently housed in warehouse that was recreated to represent a car show from the late nineteen thirties, with all the appropriate art deco architectural details. This museum was open to the public. Located in Oxnard, California it was a one and a half hour drive north of Los Angeles, but it was worth traveling to it. Once you entered the museum, it felt as if you were sent back in time to view the car displays of Bugattis, Delahayes, Delages, Voisins and Citroens, each with large advertising banners.
