On Saturday, October 5th, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the Petersen Automotive Museum invites you to a full afternoon of cars, culture, and community during the Los Angeles Diecast Club Cruise-In and Larry Chen Book Release. This one-of-a-kind event brings together automotive fans of all ages.

Los Angeles Diecast Club will host a cruise-in featuring an incredible lineup of cars—from rare classics to modern favorites. Inside, you’ll discover the Petersen’s world-renowned exhibitions that celebrate the artistry, history, and innovation of the automobile.

The day also marks the debut of a brand-new Kaido House LTDEDN diecast release. Collectors can secure the opportunity to purchase this limited piece through exclusive vouchers available at the event—making the Petersen the place to get your hands on it. Diecast Talk and Rittter Goods will also be launching exclusive products, and a few special Mini GT items will also be for sale.

We’re also thrilled to welcome acclaimed automotive photographer Larry Chen, who will be onsite releasing his latest book. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Larry in person, pick up a signed copy, and celebrate his incredible contributions to the car community. Delicious bites will be available from food vendors on-site, so come hungry and make a day of it. Whether you’re here to add to your collection, see stunning cars, explore the museum, or simply enjoy the energy of Los Angeles car culture, there’s something for everyone.
