PHOTOS: SIMEONE AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM HISTORIC VEHICLE ASSOCIATION AN UPDATE FROM THE HVA
Four reasons why the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum is the world’s premier vintage race car collection
DID YOU KNOW?
In 2011, the International Historic Motoring Awards recognized the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum as its Museum of the Year. “No other collection tells the history of racing sports cars and how ‘the spirit of competition’ impacted the production automo- biles,” says Harry Hurst, SFAM’s Director of Communications. The roughly 60 cars — each in period- specific dioramas — provide 60 reasons to visit this museum. Here are four:
1921 Duesenberg French GP: The only car in the collection that is not a sports car, this is one of three factory-entered Duesenbergs that competed in the Grand Prix at Le Mans in 1921.
1937 Bugatti 57G “Tank”: The Mona Lisa of the Simeone collection, one of only three ever made and the only one that remains.
1970 Porsche 917LH: The famous “Hippie” 917 (nicknamed for its psy- chedelic paint scheme) that came in 2nd at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans.
1963 Corvette Grand Sport: The most original of the five Grand Sports built to battle Ford’s Cobra.
