- Опубліковано 2 тра 2023
- Legendary car collector and Chairman of the Petersen, Bruce Meyer, takes us through the evolution of his endless passion for Porsche, which started in 1960 when he purchased his very first car. Since then, he's never lived without a Porsche and built his collection around race cars with a pedigree, celebrity owned cars and street cars that speak to his heart of lifelong enthusiast.
The We Are Porsche exhibit is now open at the Petersen Automotive Museum: with over 40 vehicles on display spacing from prototypes, to infamous race and movie cars, we celebrate the vehicles, the people and stories that made Porsche what it is today.

What a story!😅 Had me going for sure ..
I think the guys really had fun with this one!
You’re awesome Bruce
You're awesome Mike. When is your 911 on the road?
@@eljimberinoq5518 Hey Jim! Going through insurance and registration at the moment.. soon as I have some credentials she's ready!
I wonder what he does/did for a living.
@@KutWrite I believe he was involved in high end real estate sales in the Beverly Hills /LA area
I met Bruce in 2019 at Palm Beach Cars and Coffee. He is a friendly and funny guy. Stories about Goofing off with Bruce Canepa was hilarious ...........!!
Just one of the coolest guys in the car hobby who is known and respected by all his contemporaries.
Couldn't agree more!
I've had the pleasure of meeting Bruce a few times - he and Bill Warner are two of the nicest guys in the automotive world and real enthusiasts.
Oh my god. Bruce I LOVED your story of changing your mind from the hot Chevy to the little nimble import. Than the great prank by your buddies. What a treat it was to watch this. Many thanks.
One of the great LA guys I admire. Smart, successful, and down to earth. Thanks Bruce for your contributions for our love of cars.
Bruce Meyer is truly one in a million - one of the kindest, most charismatic people on the planet. The type of person whose name you cant utter without somebody in your vicinity saying "oh, I love that guy"!
Love Bruce Meyer. And that was one of the best gags every pulled on someone!! Canepa for the WIN!
I appreciate how he says we own this car or we took it here or there. Great job alluding to a team that is needed to keep a car collection going!
Really cool story, what a great life, congrats!
Great story, great car, great car guy!
I have so many connections to this great brand and story from my Grandmother Barbara Knight who was close friends with the Petersens and invited me as her date to the opening of the Museum, to my first job out of college with Fred Baker Porsche Racing NA and having that Porsche Win Poster in this video of the Whittingtons' 935 up on my Bedroom wall.
Fabulous story ! And great sepia ‘Kodak’ moments. Thanks for sharing.
Bruce's story about his love of muscle cars but a curiosity about the Porsche brand parallels my story as well. Loved V8 muscle cars but what's up with these little sports cars? Still love a muscle car but I've been hooked by the Porsche brand and what they have achieved since I was a young boy. Couldn't afford any Porsche for my first car but I got as close as I could with a GTI.
Great story Bruce!
A true, first class, shall we say winning numbers, ambassador of automotive history. As well as one hell of a nice guy. Great video!
I always enjoy watching your interviews and presentations. You have a great sense of humor and I absolutely love your passion and particular collection of cars.
Bruce is the best!
Well done Bruce as the 935 along with its story including your sojourn with it, are simply top shelf parts of life lived well! Good to be part of CARpuccino with you! Cheers
Bruce you are every car guy's hero, including mine! Great story!!!!
Bruce has one of the most amazing car collections.
Thanks for everything Bruce, you're such a cool dude. What a great story of your life with Porcshe and that special car. I visited your incredible museum in December 2018 with my friend Rob. I plan to visit again soon.
You pranked ME with that story! I was seething!
What a story!!!!
Thats a great story, being able to drive a nice Porsche as your first car and what a price!
The Quintessential Car Guy.
I remember when the prank happened. I wonder if Bruce Meyer has ever gotten back at Bruce Canepa.😁
Check the license plate of the black Suburban
That was one classic prank to end all pranks
NEVER LIFT!!
Especially in a Porsche!
...LOL. Bastards do have some fun! #e46DinanTouringXdrive->
Yep - that's a doozie of a story
Dude he he's in his early 80s? He doesn't look a day over 65!
Adjusted for inflation that $2700 new Porsche would be about $27000 in todays dollars, the cheapest new Porsche (car) is a 718 Cayman at 63k ish. The total cost of that 356 in 1960 wouldn't even be a down payment today. Sad.
The singalong music is asinine but the DEA tale is very funny.
"Everybody loves a Porsche."
Yes, that's true, but not everyone can AFFORD a Porsche.
It's not Porcher!
another born rich jew whose first car was a brand new porsche out of highschool..... I am 50 and never been in one. My dream is a gt3 touring with pdk in champagne color or lava orange or gemini blue. out of my budget as a disabled veteran. let alone being able to afford to live in southern california.
Lance Reventlow was born the richest infant in history. He said “you have brown eyes, I have money. It makes life convenient.” It’s fitting that you dream of having the same car as a ‘born rich Jew’.
