Tommy Kortman Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Just wanted to spread the word about a wonderful Museum that we have here in the City of Brotherly Love. (or was that random gunfire...I cant remember) It's called the Simeone Automotive Foundation Museum. It has got some of the most amazing and significant race cars in un-restored condition. The place is wonderful. I took these photos there about 3 months or so ago. Since that time they have added the Wintersteen Corvette Grand Sport. The best part is that if you go on the last weekend of the month, they actually take some of the cars out on their 3 acre lot out back, and drive them. Here's the link to my photos. Simeone Museum Here's a link to the museum. Simeone Foundation Museum Please Enjoy.
Modelmartin Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Thanks for sharing that. I got to see the collection in 1991 when it was housed in an older building in Philly (I couldn't tell you where) and was so thoroughly impressed with this collection. Fred is a true connoisseur of sporting automobiles and I thought he was a heck of a nice guy. I would love to see the museum, now. Edited March 7, 2010 by Modelmartin
Harry P. Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Your location is listed as New Jersey, not Pennsylvania... Did they move Philadelphia when I wasn't looking?

Tommy Kortman Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 Actually Andy, Harry is correct in this instance...sort of. I guess i need to update my profile I have been able to escape the Peoples Repulic of NJ, and I am currently in exile here in the City of Brotherly Love. However if you listen to the news around here they seem to refer to everything from the Poconos to the Jersey Shore as the Greater Philadelphia Area. I guess the bottom line is that the Museum collection is amazing to see.
Harry P. Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I guess i need to update my profile ... There you go, that's better! ( I knew Philadelphia wasn't in New Jersey!!!)
Railfreak78 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Cool link and thanks for sharing it. Nice mix of cars, a little for everyone!
Modelmartin Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 However if you listen to the news around here they seem to refer to everything from the Poconos to the Jersey Shore as the Greater Philadelphia Area. That's similar to the GSLIMCC out in Utah. The Greater Salt Lake INTERNATIONAL Model Car Contest meaning , of course, the whole wide world!!!!
