Simeone Foundation Auto Museum

[RobR]

Took a ride today to the Simeone Foundation Auto Museum in Philadelphia.
I try to get down there at least once a year and take someone who has never been there before. I have a machinist friend,Jeff, who asked if it was worthwhile
to take a day and go down there. He wasn’t disappointed.

It happened to be a demonstration day where they take a couple of cars from inside out behind the museum and enthusiastically drive them.
The one car was a tube chassis drum brake 1951 Jaguar C-type, The other a 1956 D-type Jaguar with disc brakes and monocoque chassis.

If you’re in the Philadelphia area and a fan of racing sports cars visiting this museum is a must.
While some of these cars here are restored Dr. Simeone is a big proponent of preservation, he even wrote a book on the importance of preserving cars rather than complete restorations.
I took quite a few photos, I’ll post some tonight and more tomorrow.
