Simeone Museum in Philadelphia-1st class racing museum opening June 17th

An old saying goes, “Auto racing was born the day the second automobile was built.” The Simeone Foundation Museum celebrates this Spirit of Competition with a world-class collection of some of the rarest and most significant race cars ever built.

Rather than being static displays of cars, the Simeone Foundation Museum transports visitors back into significant road racing venues and tells the story of how competition improves both car and driver.

Appealing to men and women, old and young, the Simeone Foundation Museum lets viewers experience the wide diversity in cars that have raced, the tracks they have run on and the drivers whose competitive spirit makes the sport what we know it today.

Please explore our Web site which has information on all the cars in the collection and why they are significant in the development of today’s modern racing sports car.

We hope you will take the time to come visit our collection in person.

They have the 1970 PORSCHE 917LH Hippie car on display.
