Any thoughts on the new location. I am planning on bringing the Tudor over from NJ. Will have to wind my way thru the streets of Philly to get there since the stock banger is not up to I95 speeds.
http://www.simeonefoundation.org/ I have been planning to see this place. I hear it has an amazing collection. Slim
Agree. the musuem has been on my to do list for a while. I am wondering how much area they will have for the show. I think that area is pretty industrial/commercial, not sure how much parking/show they have.
I hear ya, but I just passed along the email of the show info. Maybe call the museum. Phiily is a cool town. See ya guys there. Slim
Found this extra info. Hope it helps. The web sites are a little confusing though.

Took a look at the Simeone web site. Looks like they have a 3 acre paved lot that they use for car shows. i guesstimate that should handle 300-400 cars?? Hope to see you there!!
Ben there , done that, love it!!!!!!!!! Just a couple of pictures to share, been three years in a row, and going this year also with all my friends from the EASTCOAST GASSHOLZ'S...I'm 68, don't have time to be messing around. Take care ( A VET ) Ken
For anyone into Kustom bikes (bicycles), the show promoters were kind enough to invite us in and showcase our kustom builds on Saturday. I'm doing a one-off trophy for the Best of Show bike, to be judged by the show's officials. Anyone with vintage bikes (Sting-Rays, ballooners, Kustoms, pre-'75 whatver) are encouraged to bring 'em down. Spin
Just got 'er done for next week's Hoedown in Phillytown. The best bike (non-motorized) as chosen by the Hoedown officiials gets dis:
Ya matt plan on leaving after work saturday morning about 6 or so are you and the misses driving the hotrod or your truck call me
for the first time in years it looks like we're gonna have decent weather for the Hoedown. my info says 80, which is perfect. It's been over 90 for the past couple years and my sweaty Italian ass is more than happy to see the cooler weather.
"....and my sweaty Italian ass is more than happy to see the cooler weather.....' you and me both, my goomba.
