When you think of SoCal and automotive museums, Oxnard, California might not be the first location that springs to mind.

But iDSC Podcast resident automotive expert/historian, the good Professor, Clinton Quan knows otherwise. He’s dialed into all things automotive in Southern California – and everywhere else on the planet too.

Oxnard is home to the Mullin Automotive Museum, which is the Professor’s number one top pick of all auto museums in SoCal.

A quick five-minute drive from the Mullin Museum is the Murphy Automotive Museum. Both of these are special places for automotive enthusiasts – so special that they’re not even open all the time. In fact, these museums are rarely open.

Of course Professor Quan always knows when the automotive stars are aligned. He recently found a day when both car-hot-spots were not only open, but each had special events underway as well!

Hit play for an earful of details on what car-lovers' museum dreams are made of in this iDriveSoCal Podcast. And enjoy the pics in the gallery below whilst you do so.
