Post by: mark p on March 14, 2026, 11:31:15 AM
The Simeone Foundation Museum in Philly continues their celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the USA with a special exhibit (4-10 thru 4-26-26) and Demonstration Day (4-11-26).
See Dan's preliminary post at:

I copied and pasted other details from the Museum below.
Details for the Demonstration Day (nominally 11 AM to 2 PM)
"Carroll Shelby and the Rise of Professional Racing in America - Carroll Shelby carried America's ambition on his shoulders, proving that one determined dreamer could topple giants and redefine an era. Cars from the Museum's Collection to be highlighted include: 1950 Allard J2 (Caddy powered); 1954 Austin Healey 100; 1954 Ferrari 375 MM Pinin Farina Spyder; 1958 Aston Martin DBR 1; and THE 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe (CSX2287)"
The Museum folks note that "Shelby Events" always bring out a great crowd.
