Simeone Auto Racing Museum & American Helicopter Museum
Located in Philadelphia, PA, the Simeone Auto Racing Museum is one of the world’s greatest collections of racing sports cars. Through the theme, “The Spirit of Competition”, they celebrate the history and evolution of these magnificent machines.
At the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, you can see, hear and smell history come to life through these magnificent machines. Our Demo Day events are typically held twice a month on Saturdays from around 11am through 2 pm. After a static display of cars inside the museum, where you can get an up close view of great racing cars, and a presentation about the cars and their racing history, museum staff will drive the cars outside to the parking lot so you get to see, hear, and smell the cars in action. And a few lucky people can win a raffle to ride along in one of the cars,
On this day, the museum will feature American Muscle, the American interpretation of the sports car: "There's no substitute for cubic inches." Featured cars include the 1912 National Model 40, the 1933 Auburn 12-165 Speedster, the 1966 Corvette Stingray 427, and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird.
After the demonstration, we'll take time to tour the rest of the museum collection, and then head out for a late lunch / early dinner before cruising back home. And, for those interested, a visit to the American Helicopter Museum. The American Helicopter Museum & Education Center’s mission is to preserve rotary-wing aviation history, educate society on helicopters and their missions & inspire future generations. They collect, preserve, research, publish and exhibit the more than 35 aircraft in the collection and artifacts and documents relating to the origins and development of rotary-wing aircraft.
We'll meet up early in the morning and cruise up I-95 with a stop at one of the rest stops for a late (and quick) breakfast (since we'll be having a late lunch). Please click the "I'm interested" button to indicate your interest in attending, and we'll contact you closer to the event to firm up plans. Please register only once per membership.
