Tony Stark's F1 race car from Iron Man 2 on display...

Being a life-long Marvel Comics fan, one of the best thing about Disney buying Marvel a few years ago was that I now get to enjoy a taste of comic book goodness whenever I attend exhibitions like the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives at The Reagan Library.

Photographed on display with a life-size Iron Man 2 statuette on July 17, 2012, this F1 race car is driven by Robert Downey Jr. in the movie as the playboy billionaire inventor 'Tony Stark'. The Formula One racing action takes place at the Circuit de Monaco in France, where he's attacked by an energy-whip wielding 'Ivan Vanko' (Mickey Rourke).

I have to say, my fanboy heart skipped a beat when I saw this Stark race car on display.

If you're a fan, be sure to also check out the Iron Man 2 suit statuette in more detail and stay tuned for more Marvel movie goodies in the days to come.
