Simeone Automotive Museum, "The Best of Italy" -- May 2013

The Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia held its second "Best of Italy" exhibit from May 25 to April 9, 2013. I viewed and photographed the show on May 31. Included here are some of Fred Simeone's Italian cars that are on permanent display at the museum and two 2012 cars from dealer Maserati of the Main Line.
