'Tribute To Sebring' Demonstration Day
You may never get to see a Daytona coupe, Cunningham C4R, C- and D-Type Jags in motion, let alone in person, so the opportunity to see and hear these cars during The Simeone Museum's "Tribute To Sebring" Demonstration Day on March 27 in Philadelphia is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Here are the details:
This Saturday, March 27, at noon, The Simeone Museum will be driving three of its cars - a Cunningham C4R, and C- and D-Type Jaguars - that competed at the famous Sebring 12-Hour race. The 1953 Jaguar C-Type finished 3rd driven by Sherwood Johnson, the same year a Cunningham C4R won. In 1956, another Jaguar - a D-Type - again finished 3rd driven by Indy 500-winner Bob Sweikert.
And, as an added bonus, the museum be bringing out the Cobra Daytona coupe - the car that won the GT class at Sebring in 1964, the first international win for Shelby American. The weather looks like it will be very nice, so join them!
