Dr. Simeone is one of the most important and skillful collectors of our time in my opinion. How lucky we are as car enthusiasts to have such a dedicated, intelligent, skillful, educated and passionate collector like Dr. Simeone to put this extremely rare and amazing collection of cars together and let the public view and learn about them. Thank you.

[@RoyCousins]

Dr Simeone was not only a true car enthusiast with great taste, but also a pioneering neurosurgeon. R.I.P. Dr Fred.

[@Sprocketboy1956]

I have been to the Simeone Museum twice and highly recommend it: an outstanding collection. The special events are really worthwhile.

[@dkmorris713]

Oh man. That 300s is spectacular

[@robertp9560]

It's an amazing museum. The displays are fantastic!

[@aaardvarkkk]

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" Alfa is RIGHT! There were 3 or 4 Alfa's in there to die for. Absolute works of art, and they are RACE CARS!

[@scottmeeker9971]

I stayed at a fine hotel in downtown Philadelphia. When I asked the staff directions to the Simeone museum, nobody had a clue. I asked a dozen cab drivers and finally found one to take me there.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

It's in a really weird place, but it's definitely worth the search!

[@luisestebanr6311]

I can't believe this video has only 500 likes! what a nice gentlement, what an amazing collection! Nice material!

[@driverjamescopeland]

I'm glad to see someone who observes the "Mark IV" (not really, but that's the title it carried later)... which was actually the most successful GT40 ever built... gathering more wins than any other iteration.

[@yumnjame546]

I love that he drives all these as well. It's idiotic to keep the beast chained in the name of preservation, and this is in my words true preservation.

[@alanladdseinekatze859]

This might be the most important, non profit car collection there is today. But Dennis: Nürburg and the Nürburgring with the most perfect race track of all and ever, the Nordschleife should not be confused with the city of Nürnberg, especially known for its world famous Lebkuchen and the post WWII Nazi trials. Maybe you should consider going to the world's greatest race track yourself, it'll truly be worth the trip.

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

but for endurance le mans was king in those years and every manufacturer had their eyes on it.

[@boson2916]

One thing special about this Bugatti Type 57G Tank is its classic styling, literally the "Stem Cell" of Bugatti which regenerates into the modern Bugatti Veyron, Chiron, Divo, Centodieci. Truly Amazing!

[@gregorsamsa1364]

*metaphorically

[@Rog5446]

Bugatti certainly knew what they were doing with the streamlining, as the A4 locomotive 'Mallard' that holds the world record for a steam loco (126mph) took its front end design from this Bugatti.

[@styldsteel1]

These types of cars really aren't my speed, (sorry for the pun) but Dennis has a talent for making things interesting and keeps my attention to the television. Guess that's why he has a tv show and I don't. lol Thank you Dennis and MCC team. Another job well done. Have a great day!

[@ketoking9435]

Thoroughly enjoyable vid,,,I live near Silverstone race track,,,I had a few classics before they were classics and affordable is 70 GTO Judge and Rover P5B,,so a big hi to car lover's the world over,,,

[@n_y_o_o_m]

now this is how a museum should be.

[@jackbaker5284]

Nice work Denis! Keep it up...Jack

[@paulrobinson3649]

You can see the influence of the Bugatti (scaled down) on the Austin Healey 100 some fourteen years later. The 2 litre Aston, though, still sounds wrong compared to Bertelli's previous 1.5. It just doesn't want to rev.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I can't believe he didn't let Dennis drive them. He must've been heart broken

[@shanehnorman]

A fair amount of detail on the the 'art deco' Le Mans car, except that neither presenter remembered to say it's a Peugeot!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

And plenty more about it here - www.simeonemuseum.org/the-collection/le-mans/1938-peugeot-402-darlmat-racer

[@SimeoneMuseum]

It's a 1938 Peugeot 402 Darl’Mat Racer. Only three were ever made.

[@germanmarambio66]

Hermosos modelos. . Lindos autos.

[@fernandoromero3724]

WOOOW!!!

[@PASquared]

The Simeone museum is the best automotive museum in the world. You might find a collection you like better, but you will not find one where you can actually see and hear everything run! You can find a number of videos from the museum, with more cars running, on my channel here - kzbin.info/aero/PL6jMKUG01G9i45JDD5BzZeiRxbPh6jm1E

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Hey Dennis. Awesome collection of cars. Although I'm not into auto racing, I do like the cars themselves. :)

[@sforza209]

Damn just the cars shown are worth at least a total of 150 mil!!

[@drharmonica]

The man who owns this museum resembles the actor, Danny DeVito. He is the complete opposite of what one would think a race car driver and race car enthusiast would look like. Like the old saying says. "You can't tell a book by looking at the cover".

[@SimeoneMuseum]

It might be because he started his career as a neurosurgeon. Never heard the Danny DeVito resemblance before. I don't think many would say that meeting him in person. Here's some more information about his life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJDLg5qqrdaojdk

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

he have extremly good taste in cars whatever was his work...i wonder what he drive as personnal car just by curiosity

[@luxdaduck6656]

I want to see Dennis check out some Aussie muscle cars

[@MrBrianbusch]

Fletch at 'Classic Restos' doesnt do a bad job

[@BlueHopi144]

Fletch is a great enthusiast and interviews very well - i love his channel

[@MyClassicCarTV]

I'm trying to get down there either this year or next, and Fletch will probably be helping me coordinate some of it. Should be a blast!

[@arisgod2749]

it would be awesome to know how they were bought (from whom, when, restored or unrestored etc.)

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Here you go - www.simeonemuseum.org

[@arisgod2749]

Awesome, thank you guys.

[@SimeoneMuseum]

There is a lot of this kind of information on our website. Each car has its own page.

[@Endureromex]

I'd say you would need over 200 million to buy those cars

[@SimeoneMuseum]

The whole collection or just a part or it? LOL.

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

for the whole thing thats far from enough

[@steelyknives1699]

that bugati has an interesting story..it was buried during WWII so the nazis could not get to it...surprised he did not mention it

[@SimeoneMuseum]

Here's the link on our page -> www.simeonemuseum.org/the-collection/winners-circle/1936-bugatti-type-57g-tank

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

because people start to have enough of hearing about 'nawtzees' 24/7

[@dontcallmechris8677]

Am I the only one who thinks the tesstarosa looks ugly as hell

[@scamdemicusmaximus5109]

Yes.
