(not far from Philadelphia Airport)

60 rare (and mechanically restored) cars ranging from the early 1900's until today.


I'm turning 40 in a week and a half and I plan on going there that day (the rest of my day is not planned) - I have this urge to meet a 1964 Shelby Daytona in real life. (#1 of 6)

I'm debating on having an actual meet-up; or just saying 'Hey, I will be here during these hours if anyone wants to join me' - so depending on level of interest, I will decide which way to go with this.


"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.
The Museum transports visitors back in time to significant road racing venues and tells the story of how competition improves both car and driver.

"The Simeone Foundation Museum is conveniently located just minutes off Interstate 95 in Philadelphia, close to Center City and the Philadelphia International Airport.

got my schedule for next week.. picked up an extra weekday and took saturday off.. so ill be there.. too bad the lady friend will be in houston though

funny i lived like 1 mile away from there for 2-1/2 years and never had a clue it existed

Evidently, it only opened up like the last week in June or something...

Cool thing is, I now know of 2 people who have connections to Dr Simeone (as patients)...


So far it looks like I got about 4 definites for the museum, and a couple maybes. And I still have some people to contact yet ...

Sage cant make it down from Princeton until after work, so that is going to be 5 or so before she can even get down here. She wanted to go to the museum with me but they close at 4.

I still need to come up with 'where to go for dinner afterwards' ... I was kinda thinking Famous Dave's in Springfield ... (brings us closer to Media for the last part of the day) But I just had that this past Sunday. There is really nothing 'good' in that area...

Thoughts?
