Entry No. 5 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: single-collector museum

Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum

Neurosurgeon Dr. Frederick Simeone spent five decades assembling roughly 75 of the world's most significant racing sports cars — pre-WWI machines through a Le Mans-winning Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, staged in dioramas by the racetrack they competed at — and on 'Demo Days' curators actually fire them up and drive them in the lot.

The move: Time a visit to a Demo Day (held twice monthly) to hear and watch decades-old race cars actually run, not just sit roped off — genuinely rare in car museums.
