The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, is part of the Western Reserve Historical Society, and was founded by industrialist Frederick Crawford of TRW and opened in 1965. Previously the collection was part of the Thompson Company's Thompson Auto Album and Aviation Museum, also founded by Fred Crawford. Its eclectic collection of classic vehicles include a replica of 1890s Cleveland main street, antique carriages, early Harley Davidson motorcycles, a Willys Custom Sedan, and a P-51 Mustang racing plane used in the National Air Races. The oldest car in the collection is a 1897 Panhard et Levassor; the most modern car in the collection is a General Motors EV1. One of the rarest cars in the collection is an aluminum bodied 1932 prototype Peerless designed by Frank Hershey, which was never put into production and was the last passenger vehicle made in Cleveland.
