Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum

This guide to the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia follows Frederick Simeone, a neurosurgeon who spent his career dashing between operating rooms and car auctions. It traces how an inheritance of eight thousand dollars and four old cars from his father in 1972 led him to set strict rules for his growing collection, prizing race-proven engineering over polish or paint. You'll hear the four conditions a car had to meet before joining his garage, and why a genuine racing record mattered more than chrome. Look closely at the machines around you for the marks a real track leaves on a car.
