Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Got lucky googling the license plate of the Porsche <_< Janis Joplin used to own it.

Although, according to this site the car is not at the R&R Hall, but at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NY.

This one should be easy. Tens of thousands of people drive by this every day.

NEW IMAGE:
Hint: OK, this one is a day late for optimal timing. Ten years from yesterday, this farm field will be the place to be. Millions will see the event. It will be covered live on TV, but only a small minority will have the best vantage point - live and in person . . . provided the weather is good.

The answer must include what, where, and when.
(and it would be nice to expand on the 'what' with a link)

I think this is the right place on the map. It's kind of tough to tell exactly. The What when where...Total Solar Eclipse in 2017
I just can't figger out how to put map coordinates in G-Maps

I was off a few miles, here is the correct location

I stumbled across this "parking lot" in a previous search.

This place was featured in a major 60s movie.Although it was probably not actually filmed here.

Looks like Fiorano (Ferrari test track near Maranello) to me, and isn't that a repeat?

http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl...p;z=17&om=1

Red head would refer to a Testa Rossa sports car from the '50s (not the '80s Testarossa road car).

I don't know how a movie would have been made there in the '60s when the track wasn't even built until 1972, according to Wikipedia.

Someone else post an image, I have too many chores to finish this evening.

Dang ,another repeat.Actually, I was going for the Ferrari factory which is next to the track.

The Ferrari factory was featured in the movie "Grand Prix"

HDNet is showing Le Mans in high-def three times this month. Love those old 240mph sports cars.
