DESCRIPTION:Every kid had their favorite car poster hanging up on the ir bedroom wall at one point or another in their life. Not every kid g ets to see them in real life!\n\nThis is your chance to see some of ou r favorite poster cars running live and up close.

Squire built these cars to such a high stan dard, and at such great cost,  the company would go out of business a fter only 7 were built.\n\n1935 Auburn 851 – In designing the spor ty cars section one realizes that throughout the entire 1930s, there w as essentially only one company that truly attempted to produce a seri es of two-passenger, extra sporty cars. The Auburn, Cord and Duesenber g firm emphasized performance, good looks, and tried to reach a market which was either untapped or uninspired.\n\n1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2.9A  – Clearly, the most advanced sports car of the last half of the 1930 s was the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900. With double overhead cams and valves, tw o superchargers, a transaxle, independent four-wheel suspension adjust able from the seat, and a magnificent styling, automotive experts beli eve that these cars could not be beaten on the track or on the road.\n \n1958 Aston Martin DBR1 – There was never any doubt that the Asto n Martin DBR1 reigns supreme among the 1950’s sports racers, and con sequently among the very, very few epitomic examples of the sports car genre. This car won the 1958 Nurburgring 1000km race and raced at Le Mans 4 times. It was driven by legends such as Stirling Moss, Jim Cla rk, Jack Brabham and Carroll Shelby.\nSPECIAL GUEST CAR  (WILL BE PRE SENTED BUT NOT DRIVEN)\n1963 Ferrari 250P – The very first 12-cylin der mid-engined Ferrari was unveiled in March of 1963. World-renowned  coachbuilder Pininfarina gave the car a wonderfully clean and sharp l ine that made it stand out as a prototype. The 250 P didn’t take lon g to makes it mark. It won some of the most prestigious races in the world including victories at Sebring, Le Mans, and the Nürburgring.\n \nFor more information visit https://northeastwheelsevents.com/events/ poster-cars-demo-day-at-the-simeone-museum DTSTART:20180113T161500Z DTEND:20180113T190000Z CATEGORIES:demo, day, lecture LOCATION:The Simeone Museum WEBSITE:http://www.simeonemuseum.org/events/poster-cars-demo-day/ URL:http://www.simeonemuseum.org/events/poster-cars-demo-day/ CONTACT:215-365-7233 ORGANIZER;CN="The Simeone Museum":https://northeastwheelsevents.com/pr ofile/TheSimeoneMuseum ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2284101154?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="The Sime one Museum":https://northeastwheelsevents.com/profile/TheSimeoneMuseum END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
