Simone Car Collection Photos

I recently visited the Simone Car Collection in Philadelphia while visiting NYC.

They house un-restored cars with racing heritage. I only photographed about half of the collection. Lighting was poor, and the cars were parked awkwardly in many cases. My pictures include: The first Bugatti, the first Shelby Daytona, Porsche 917 that holds the current fastest lap time at Le Mans (Old Le Sarthe I'd imagine), and many more.

Here is a link to the collection if anyone has interest:

Some pictures I took:


















































I couldn't get any good pictures of the 917. I do have a video though that I will post later.

Great stuff Connor! Must've been great to see so much incredible racing history in one spot. That's my all-time favorite 917, btw.
