More Pictures of cars in PA, Not Carlisle, but Philidelphia

I almost forgot about these pictures from the Simeone Foundation Museum in Philly PA. I was battling a dying point and shoot camera and poor lighting but a few of them came out good enough to share.

I’ll come back threw and add some captions later.

I’m pissed these got posted in reverse order, but nothing I can do about it now.


Old school baller


My favorite car hidden in the museum’s repair shop


Shot of the car didn’t come out, but I thought this racing jack was interesting.


The suspension really didn’t make any sense to me. It looked like both ends of the shock were hard mounted


Gotta love the red heads


Leather exhaust cover




Tiny wheels on the alfa


This was literally the size of a go-cart. about knee high.


Back in the day before race car steering wheels had 60 toggles and switches on the wheel


Good height comparison. That mirror is fantastic.




All business underneath



No W16 quad turbo here






Plaque below says it all


Supercharged Bentley that was on “Chasing Classic Cars”






































Wood wheels, no front brakes, leaf springs, friction dampers, no speedo.

Man that Alfa is badass…

i wan to go there badly now…

Its well worth the time. Lots of cars in one place is always worth it. I think they had 3 different Benz gullwings there. There was also a side “stock car” room I didn’t get many pictures of which basically was the history of sports cars. probably 50 cars in that room alone.

wow, nice pics.

cars looked so funny back then

swoon

I jizzed myself at the Daytona Super Coupe and GT40. My 2 favorite cars ever

there is a sports car museum near Hershey that I went to, unfortunately I forgot the camera. They had a Daytona coupe in Le mans trim rather than this one setup for the salt flats. I think the other one was much more impressive to see all the aerodynamic details on it like the clear wind deflectors that go over the A pillers. You would probably like a lot of the cars at that museum more, really nice original vettes, mustangs, thunderbird along with import sports cars and antiques.
