Robert Petersen's widow gives big donation to car museum

We're talking about $100 million in buildings, land, cars, and cash. The cash portion of Margie Petersen's gift amounts to "many, many, many millions of dollars," says the Petersen Automotive Museum's executive director, Buddy Pepp. Her donation will be used to refurbish the place and make the outside stand out a bit more (it's across the street from LACMA). Here's the LAT story, and below is a clip of Robert Petersen's start in the auto publishing business. He died in 2007.
