Actually, you’re kinda wrong. The Simeone Museum is very public friendly, with bi-weekly demo days that allows spectators to get as close as he’s getting to a rotating selection of cars, before and after said cars do a handful of laps in the backlot. It’s a truly unique and remarkable experience.

Welcome to Philadelphia Tim home of the greatest historical automobile museum in the world. That is a title that is almost impossible to live up to but as you now see is truly deserved. You have reached the top now so from here on out you will be comparing everything else to this museum. I've visited many times and learn new things with each visit. So glad you were able to bring these cars and their history to your viewers. Each car deserves its own video so I hope you stop back again to highlight a different car. The demo days are a must!

I recently moved to Philadelphia and went to the museum last year. It was incredible and yes, they do demo days throughout the year and give people rides in each one. I attended the "Ford vs. Ferrari" day where they drove the GT40, the Shelby Daytona, and the Ferrari 250. Special stuff. Sadly, Dr. Simeone passed away last year, but the Spirit of Competition lives on!!

I guess it was about 15 years ago, I scheduled a tour of the Simione for a group of Miata owners. Dr. Simione was there and personally gave us a tour, just taking his time and giving us his personal history with each car, his overall history as an enthusiast, etc. We were all just completely mesmerized, it was like we stepped into car-guy heaven. He was so down to earth and generous with his time, and was just shooting the breeze with a bunch of car guys. What a day. He even mentioned how at the time more Miatas were roadraced than any other model. He leaves quite a legacy.
