Patrick Dempsey, Jeff Beck Honored at Petersen Automotive Museum Gala
Car enthusiasts Patrick Dempsey, Jeff Beck and Ken Block were honored at the Petersen Automotive Museum‘s “Race, Rock ‘n Rally” gala.
The diverse trifecta — actor Dempsey, guitarist Beck and World Rally Championship driver Block — were feted for their love of cars.
Dempsey received the Petersen Automotive Enthusiast Award for his racing career, Block with the Petersen Automotive Inspiration Award for inspiring a younger audience of enthusiasts and Beck with the Petersen Automotive Artisan Award for his work as a hot rod collector and builder.
The gala evening on Oct. 24 began with a cocktail hour, followed by a charity auction and dinner.
Highlight auction items included a wheel from Block’s “Gymkhana 4” video, two Fender guitars signed by Beck and a race suit worn by Dempsey.
Money raised will support the educational programming at the Petersen: every year the museum hosts 15,000 children on field trips and the Robert E. Petersen Free School Bus Program pays for the buses for underserved schools.
The evening closed with a performance by Beck, his violinist Lizzie Ball and guitarist Nicholas Meier.
