The Petersen hosts a themed cruise-in the last Sunday of every month.

All American cars are welcome, but special parking will be provided for Shelby vehicles.<\/p>\n
After the cruise-in, spectators are invited to attend a Panel discussion moderated by Petersen Founding Chairman Bruce Meyer. The Panel will feature several Shelby American VIPs who will discuss the film\u2019s portrayal of the real-life events leading up to the team\u2019s unprecedented victory at Le Mans. Featured panelists will include designer Peter Brock; Peter Miles, son of racing driver Ken Miles; crew chief Charlie Agapiou; Carroll Shelby\u2019s grandson Aaron Shelby; driver Allen Grant; film producer Lenny Shabes; and A.J. Baime, whose book \u201cGo Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans\u201d inspired the film itself.<\/p>\n
