Walter-- Thanks for the heads up about this local museum. I live about 4 miles from there but had no idea the place existed. I enjoyed your photos; will definately have to check it out.

That was spot on! Went for a visit today, had a great time, lost several hours just wandering through.

This place is really worth a visit, they have many rare cars, the displays ar great. Linky: http://www.simeonefoundation.org/

They have a 917 , I remember when these were running the Lemans back in the 70's. Never saw one in person (always wanted to) - what a beautiful piece of history.

They had a display of about 30 bikes there for a month last Aug/Sept. I would think they would do it again because it brought out quite a few riders when I was there. It needed to be marketed a little better because a few of my really hardcore antique guys missed it. I went for the bikes but left in awe of the cars. They were all sports cars meaning street legal. My favorite was the white Ferrari 3 seater with the steering wheel in the middle.
For anyone picking up someone from Philly airport, this would be a great stop to get there early, beat some traffic, and wait for your arrival to call.
