And I was lucky enough to get invited to the media preview.\\n\\nWalk into the lobby at Petersen between now and the exhibit\\u0026#8217;s conclusion on Jan. 27, 2019 and you\\u0026#8217;ll be greeted by a 1967 Porsche 910 (pictured above), a 1964 904 Carrera GTS, a 1997 GT1 and a 1998 GT1 Strassenversion. Lobby game strong.\\n\\nGo to the main showroom and everything gets turned up to eleven. Walking in, you\\u2019re immediately confronted with the business end of a sinister-looking 1939 Type 64 60K10, one of only four ever built and the genesis of all Porsches (had our guide said it was Hitler\\u2019s getaway car, I would\\u2019ve 100% believed him). Continue on and you\\u2019ll see a first gen Turbo which, between the yellow paint job and turbo graphics, oozes so much \\u201870s you half expect the interior carpeting to be shag. Other highlights include the most original 550 Spyder known to exist, the Dakar-winning Rothmans 959 (desert dust included) and a 1979 935 Kremer K3 \\u0026#8211; the overall winner at Le Mans that year.\\n\\nThe final leg of the exhibit is down in the museum\\u2019s vault (otherwise known as a garage) where they had, among other things, Singer Vehicle Design Founder Rob Dickinson\\u2019s 1969 911E \\u201cBrown Bomber,\\u201d the origin of all Singer cars; a 1964 356 \\u201cEmory Special,\\u201d arguably Rod Emory\\u2019s most recognizable car; a 1996 993 RS; and Alain Prost\\u2019s 1987 McLaren TAG Porsche F1 car.\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re a fan of Porsche, or of auto history in general, do yourself a favor and get down to the Petersen Automotive Museum.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/2-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;48857&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;1964 904 Carrera GTS&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;The Porsche Effect&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/3-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;48858&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Right: 1998 GT1 Strassenversion;
