CALIFORNIA CLASSICS
Bruce Meyer, left, is one of the most prolific car collectors in the country and a powerful force in the Southern California collecting and racing culture. Several of his cars are displayed in the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, and he was integral in arranging for hot rods and some other customs to appear in their own class at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the world's greatest classic car show. With him is Don Kent of KTLA/TV5 in Los Angeles, the oldest TV station station west of the Mississippi. Kent's been with the station over 30 years.
