Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Does the M3W have "street cred"?

The answer is apparently some folks at the Simeone think so... The Simeone Museum located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania is an amazing place, and relatively close to me: "Located in Philadelphia, PA, the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum is one of the world’s greatest collections of racing sports cars. Through our theme, “The Spirit of Competition”, we celebrate the history and evolution of these magnificent machines." Each year in the fall they have been doing a special exhibit, last year it was Lotus. This year, the theme was "street cred". Museum link: https://simeonemuseum.org/

Their definition of "street cred" was a car that garnered significant attention and respect out in public. As I couldn't imagine any car getting more attention than a Morgan 3-wheeler, completely on a lark, I submitted my 2017 M3W for consideration along with what I presumed to be all the other muscle cars, Mustangs, Hemi Cuda's, and Corvettes. Much to my surprise, they wanted the Morgan! It's certainly an eclectic group of cars for this exhibit, but quite fun. They placed my M3W between a Honda S2000 and a 2021 Ferrari Roma. A fun exhibit at an amazing museum - well worth a visit if you're on this side of the pond.




If you'd like to view the pics I took of the rest of the street cred exhibit cars, here's a link to my google photo album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UBAWBoRPCQvok7iv9 Interesting, as I later realized, the cars are in order by age...

Thank you for sharing the photos - an interesting and eclectic mix and your Morgan fits really well in that company (and looks great!).

Not sure if you've ever seen the Grim Reaper Morgan Three Wheeler (commissioned by Tim at MMC) but it would sit nicely beside the Ford (Model A?) Munster-esque coupe - a great Halloween duo.

Great looking M3W. It will certainly stand out from the rest of the cars in the collection, plenty of V8's but no other V2's 😁. A very prestigious venue.

Your 3 wheeler looks great. I especially like the yellow spots.

Thanks! Looked for a while to find those vintage Marcal fog lights. LED bulbs and have them along with the repro Lucas fender markers I added, also LEDs, as running lights.

The Simeone Museum recently posted some feature pics of the M3W on their FB page. Was cool to be part of the exhibit:
