2012 Grand Marshals, Peter & Merle Mullin

Merle and Peter Mullin, Grand Marshals

Peter Mullin’s great love of 1930’s French cars with their curvaceous, custom built bodies started as a grand passion. After his first sighting of a Delahaye, he was smitten. He began to collect, restore, show and even race some of these great French “beauties.” His passion soon gave way to a cause - the preservation of the classic French automobile. The Mullin Automotive Museum will serve as a legacy - one that captures and preserves a historic movement embodying both sublime style and superb engineering.

Peter Mullin is Chairman Emeritus of MullinTBG and founder and chairman of M Financial. He serves on the boards of Avery Dennison, Gene Autry Heritage Museum, Occidental College, St. John’s Foundation, Hospital of the Good Samaritan and the UCLA Foundation Board of Trustees. He is Chairman of the Music Center Foundation, as well as past Chairman of the Board of Visitors of the Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA. He is past president of the American Bugatti Club and a member of the Bugatti Trust.
