Museum Founder Simeone Wins Lee Iacocca Award In a presentation at the inaugural The Elegance at Hershey, Dr. Frederick A. Simeone was presented with the prestigious Lee Iacocca Award, which recognizes outstanding classic-car enthusiasts.
the cars are used to tell a story: that competition and racing improves the breed. The central theme of the Simeone Foundation collection is “the spirit of competition.”
Dr. Simeone has assembled one of the world’s great collections of racing sports cars over a span of 50 years, and in 2008 opened a museum in Philadelphia to display the collection.
The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, located in the Airport Auto Mall, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and includes many of the most significant racing sports cars ever built. For more information call (215) 365- 7233, or visit the website at: www.simeonemuseum.org. The Museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $12 adults, $10 seniors, $8 for students. Children under 8 are admitted free.
In making the award, Iacocca noted, “The Award is presented to the person who has shown excellence in dedication to the preservation of an American automotive tradition. I would say your museum more than qualifies you in that area along with your efforts to serve unselfishly in so many nonprofit organizations.” Lee Iacocca’s contribution to the automotive industry spans 50 years. The prestigious Lee Iacocca Award is given for Dedication To Excellence In Perpetuating An American Automotive Tradition. A native Philadelphian, Dr. Simeone began his passionate interest in cars when he was a teenager, following in the footsteps of his father, also a doctor, who was one of the early collectors of classic cars in the 1950s. For more than five decades, Simeone has assembled what many automotive authorities agree is one of the world’s great collections of racing sports cars.
