(“Losing another piece of L.A.’s soul,” Opinion, Aug. 12)I was so impressed with what I saw at the newly renovated Petersen Automotive Museum that I took another friend days later, and had just as much fun. The new museum introduced me to an array of one-of-a- kind cars that I’ve only seen in pictures. Bob Schmitt, Burbank..To the editor: I’m a charter docent at the Petersen Automotive Museum, 21 years and counting. I spent a long afternoon at the Petersen, and that was even with skipping the “extra” of visiting the vault. I also remember when the Petersen was, in another lifetime, Seibu, the U.S. branch of the Japanese department store chain.
