(I guess a few folks might recognize this car from SAAC49, the 2014 NorthEast Regional meet, or other Simeone events)
The Simeone Foundation Museum (Philly) is focusing all of the special Exhibits and Demonstration Days this year on the USA in recognition of America 250.
A new exhibit opens this week - called "American Dream".
This allows a little wiggle room past the Museum's regular "Sports Racing Cars".
When they asked for folks to submit their cars and why it fits the theme - I thought - what could be more American Dreamy than a T-bird?
I submitted an application and was excited to be accepted.
We took the 'Bird over this afternoon, was the last of the first-day arrivals. Other cars will join in thru this week... can't wait to see what else will be there.

The "Official Opening" of the Exhibit coincides with the "Salt Flats" Demonstration Day on Saturday 8/11... should be a good time. The Daytona Coupe will - of course - be part of the Festivities.

Cool, a bird in Emberglow.  I didn't even know they put Emberglow on birds in 66 and I certainly have never seen one in my daily travels.
