Disney Pixar Cars Exhibit at Petersen Automotive Museum

Mattel Exhibit featuring Disney Pixar Cars Die-Cast Vehicles Speeds Into Petersen Automotive Museum

Can't wait until Cars Land opens on June 15th? 

Need your Disney Pixar Cars fix now?

No matter if you are a Car Collector, Toy Collector, or just a fan of Disney Pixar Cars . . . There is a fantastic exhibit going on until the end of the month (last day is April 30th) at the Petersen Automotive Museum. We attended the opening day of the exhibit, so we know first hand how cool it is. What a beautifully detailed display featuring characters from the Disney films CARS and CARS 2. It showcases the history of Mattel's Cars die-cast collection. You can even take your photo with Lightning McQueen. Ka-Chow!

Cars 2: The Fast and the Hilarious

We've been known to hang out with Lightning McQueen at parties.

He's let us touch his stickers once or twice.

Tow Mater calls us close personal friends of his.

We've even been known to hang out a Flo's V8 Cafe!

We are big Pixar fans, and have loved CARS since the first movie came out. Actually we have loved every movie they have made. (Ahem - Especially Wall-E & Up)

The new movie CARS 2 recently came out on Disney Blu-Ray and DVD. (Go get it!)

We think it would make the perfect gift for the Lightning McQueen fan in your house.

It's twice the action, twice the funny, and twice the Mater. 

Because really, everyone needs some more Mater in their life.

Coming soon to Disneyland is CARS LAND in the summer of 2012 and we couldn't be more excited!
