SVX PPG Pace Car on display at Simone Museum :)

This was Posted to the SVX Nation group in Facebook. I think it might make a really good group drive from the Reading meet. It runs a while so if you want to see the Pace Car, take ride to Philly.

NEW SPECIAL EXHIBIT – SUBARU: THE BEAUTY OF ALL-WHEEL DRIVE: APRIL 16 – MAY 1 2016
The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum is hosting “Subaru: The Beauty of All-Wheel Drive”, a Special Exhibit from April 16th – May 1st to kick off the 2016 season. This exhibit will feature a select group of approximately 18 road-going and competition cars from Subaru’s history.

I couldn't even generate interest in getting a private tour of the Performance Attic in Cherry Hill. Complaints about Too far, traffic and construction around Philly sucked, too much time, etc.

Hope you have better luck with this one. Would have to be a Saturday convoy, as it closes at 6 on Fridays. Just show up. The Attic thing required more planning and restrictions


I'll just arrange to see the Attic on my own in early summer.

Re: SVX PPG Pace Car on display at Simone Museum :)

Any one know what PPG colours they painted the pace car - looking to repaint a model to "best match"

Just a thought, I know a lot of people were upset that they missed seeing that car at Reading. It is a lot of drive time round trip from Morgantown. I'll probably stop in at some point when work brings me to the area.

Re: SVX PPG Pace Car on display at Simone Museum :)

Google Maps says it's an hour drive one way from Morgantown. Turnpike/76 to 476 South, then I95 North to 291. Not exactly picturesque but traffic should not be a problem on the weekend. (I would not recommend staying on 76 and going through Philly on a Saturday afternoon.)
