New Race Car Museum Opens In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― Philadelphia has a new museum featuring cars from famous races and historic tracks around the world.

The Simeone Foundation Museum showcases racing cars going all the way back from before World War I, right up to a 21st century NASCAR model. Many of the museum's cars are displayed in dioramas that consist of blown-up photos of the places and races where the vehicles competed. The collection includes cars from Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, Italy's 1,000-mile Mille Miglia, the French Le Mans 24-hour endurance competition, and Watkins Glen, N.Y., the Finger Lakes town that helped revive sports car racing in the U.S. after World War II.

The museum, at 6825-31 Norwitch Drive, is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Admission is $12,with children under 8 free with an adult. It is located about five minutes off Interstate 95 near the Philadelphia airport Automall. Details at http://www.simeonefoundation.org.
