The TC Motoring Guild and the Vintage MG Club got together for a combined tour of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Dick Messer, new member to both clubs, is the museum Director and he gave us a behind the scenes tour of the basement where all the cars not on display are kept and worked on. And Dick had a story to tell about each one - absolutely amazing. Thank you to Dick Messer for taking us on such a special tour and also to Gordon & Mimi Glass for getting the two clubs together and making the arrangements.
