If you have time to kill in Philly, no bikes but cars, if you don't go to the Simeone Foundation Museum, you'll regret it. SIMEONE

Sorry your visit seems to have been so short.
I had no idea that there was this rich a collecting hiding in Philadelphia. I thought I would have to go the Alfa Romeo museum to see the this many early and iconic Alfa's. And that would just be Alfa's. The the Renault Vanderbilt Cup car! And this is the tip of the iceberg. This is an outstanding collection of early race cars and even a few late century cars. Strong emphasis on racing and performance cars. Incredible!
