Recently honored three times by the International Historic Motoring Awards in London, the Academy Awards of the automobile history community, The Simeone Foundation Museum enjoys popularity because of a selection of special sports racing automobiles set in dioramas reliving the race tracks. Regularly, these cars are taken out on a small track at the South West Philadelphia Museum and demonstrated for the public in a historical context. Regular educational lectures and young driver safety programs are part of the mission of the charitable foundation.
The museum’s underlying inspirational theme, the spirit of competition, is demonstrated by the serial, chronological display of the world’s most important race cars and how they evolved stimulated by the desire to win.
Once described as "having more Mona Lisa type cars than any other automobile Museum", more information about the five-acre Museum facility located near the Philadelphia International Airport can be found at www.simeonemuseum.org.
