While co-host Bruce Aldrich remains on assignment, I talk with Felderstein about his varied collection of vehicles and about the museum. The museum's largest event of the year, the California CruiseFeast, will be held Oct. 8 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Proceeds of the event benefit the California Vehicle Foundation - a 501c3 charitable organization. With several prominent streets closed, hundreds of cars of all makes and models and thousands of spectators will take in the varied history of the automobile. Food trucks, music and beer garden are all included in the 11th annual event. Besides its collection of vehicles, the California Automobile Museum has vehicles for sale. Felderstein, who rotates through his collection of vintage cars to complement his daily drivers, discusses his interest in mechanics, the history of cars and his work at the California Automobile Museum.
