Drool over classic cars
Pink Cadillacs, cherry red Mustangs, fins and grills and bells and whistles: Classic cars are a huge part of American pop culture, so it makes sense that many cities have museums dedicated to the country's sexiest hunks of steel. The Peterson Automotive Museum pays homage to vehicles spanning the history of the automobile, from an 1897 Anthony (pretty much a wooden cart on wheels) to the BMW i8 concept car used in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (pretty much sex on wheels). Also on display are a great collection of motorcycles (it doesn't get more American than Harley Davidson) and Hot Wheels, our country's favorite childhood toy.
