On Spotlight: Petersen Automotive Museum

Instagram Account: @petersenmuseum
Follower count: 20.9k

Now, here in Gram Cars, we don't just go and look for the automotive blogs with the most followers. Setting up that list is pretty easy. What we are looking for are Instagram accounts that really showcase a car lover's enthusiasm for cars. We are looking for accounts that are a car connoisseur's dream. And we all know it's not all about the number of followers and likes but the content itself. One good example of such accounts is the Petersen Automotive Museum Instagram account. Now, it only has 20.9k followers but don't let the follower count fool you. It is one of the best automotive museum accounts out there. So if you are a fan of older but definitely sexier cars, @petersenmuseum will definitely be a treat for you.

Petersen Automotive Museum is unlike other automotive blogs that are prolific in Instagram these days. You won't see the latest cars or the sexiest models in their account. Instead, you are given a slew of the industry's rarest and most exotic cars. It doesn't matter if it is hanging from a crane, in the garage while being restored, or in the showroom, these cars just go to show that the best cars are not necessarily the new ones.

Oh and one other thing about @petersonmuseum is that they like making jokes. No, I am not talking about your a priest and a rabbi walks into a bar kind of jokes. Just go and check out their uploads and read their captions and you will know what I am talking about.

Talk about a wonderful behind! From @petersenmuseum
Oh yes. You can stare back at me all night! From @petersenmuseum

So if you are the car lover who is into the oldies but definitely goodies, head over to @petersenmuseum.
