Description

FREE ADMISSION FOR GUESTS WITH A PHILLIES, EAGLES, OR UNION TICKET STUB! The racing Bentley is one of history’s most revered and respected cars. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a force on the track, no matter the time or place. Between the years 1924 through 1930, the legendary “Bentley Boys” would notch up five victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, bringing honor and glory to both the marque and their homeland. But just as quickly as the Bentley dynasty grew, it would fade away as a victim of its own success. Join us for our next Demo Day as we take a closer look at the amazing history and legacy of this iconic brand and share the legend of the celebrated drivers that would become national heroes behind its wheel.  Simeone Museum collection cars to be demonstrated include: - 1927 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model - 1931 Bentley 4.5 Litre Supercharged Tourer - 1938 Bentley 4.25 Litre Coupe
