LOS ANGELES — Dust off your Walkman and head to the Petersen Automotive Museum, which is hosting a new retro exhibit showcasing classic car culture.

The museums latest showcase, “Totally Awesome!”, takes visitors on a nostalgic ride through the bold and unforgettable cars of the 1980s and 90s.

The exhibit enthusiastically honors the dynamic designs and societal influence of the era’s most notable cars—vehicles that served as more than mere transportation, embodying identity, fashion, and creativity.

“Totally Awesome!” delves into how automotive design intersected with pop culture, focusing on the impact of cable TV, hit movies, and the advent of the digital age on car aesthetics and marketing strategies.

Each car on display tells a story about that era. From slick production models to legendary race cars and big-screen stars, the lineup is nothing short of epic.

Standout vehicles include the DeLorean from “Back to the Future,” the powerful Buick GNX, and the iconic Lamborghini Countach.

Whether youve lived through that time yourself or discovering the era for the first time, “Totally Awesome!” is your all-access pass to the raddest rides of the late 20th century.
