    One of a series of monthly “demonstration driving days” that feature extremely rare racing sports cars from the Simeone collection being driven on a three-acre lot in back of the Museum. The Simeone Museum is one of the few museums in the world where visitors can see and hear famous race cars like these run. A brief lecture by Dr. Simeone on the importance of the cars and their place in history precedes each driving demonstration. A free Museum tour will be conducted at 2 pm. March 27?: “Tribute to Sebring”? Three cars - a Cunningham C4R, and C- and D-Type Jaguars - that competed at the famous Sebring 12-Hour race will be driven. 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.
