A Visit to Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum

A Visit to Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum

While traveling to Philadelphia I came upon a very nice automotive museum, Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum. Founded by Dr. Fredrick Simeone who focused on “The Spirit of Competition,” as he put it.

Dr. Simeone has assembled an incredible collection of racing cars. For more than 50 years his collection has grown to over 75 historically significant cars, dating from 1908 through 1970.

A highlight of the museum is the Winner’s Circle exhibit with 5 winning cars from the USA, Italy, France, England, and Germany, spanning races from 1927 to 1958. In addition, the museum hosts several rotating exhibits that blend very well with his focus on racing and the history of racing worldwide.

Not only are there car exhibits to enjoy, but they also host many special events such as “Demo Day,” where they regularly take cars out to their 3-acre lot in back and drive them for the public to enjoy and experience the thrill of racing. It is an unforgettable experience seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling the rumble of these cars.

As I walked around the museum, I would put myself in the shoes of those who drove these cars to victory and defeat. This tribute to automotive racing is a must-see. The displays that each car rests in are as incredible as the car itself, depicting the era and surroundings of times gone by. This created a roadway that sent my imagination wild.

The museum also has a fabulous automotive art exhibit with paintings by Alfredo De La Maria and sculptures by J. Paul Nesse, Stanley Wanlass, and Dennis Hoyt. I might add that the museum is staffed with some very informative and
knowledgeable volunteers. I was greeted by several who were more than willing to engage in wonderful conversation.

Louwman Museum

The Louwman Museum houses the world’s oldest private collection of automobiles, brought together by two generations of the Louwman family.

The aim of the Museum is to give a comprehensive overview of what the automobile industry has produced since 1887. Without a doubt, the automobile has completely transformed our lives. It has become an icon of modern life. It is one of the most important inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Over 80 years ago the Louwman family recognized the importance of the motor car and decided to keep the highlights of motoring history so far for future generations. The Louwman Museum in fact dates back to 1934. Since then the Louwman Museum has regularly added vehicles and over the years has gradually refined the collection. Today there are over 275 historic and classic motor cars in our museum.

The Louwman Museum was opened by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix on 2 July 2010.
