the slow draining of the cleveland auto aviation collection

[tom d. friedman]

due to the tanked out economy, the crawford auto / aviation museum in cleveland ohio is selling off some crown jewels of it's collection, such as a 1950's gull wing mercedes benz for $450.000, & some other auto rarities. some of the 30's / 40's cleveland air races memorabilia rarities are going to be the next, victims to keep the museum's operating expenses going. a sad scenario!! i posted a reply of the same topic here on the air racing thread, but i thought this needed high profile exposure. mods... i hope you'll give this historic crisis a little latitude & leave this post here, but it's your call.

The P-51K isn't going anywhere, I hope? If I remember right it's one of the few, if not the last that still has an Aeroproducts Prop.

Is this the same place that owns the F2G ?

Just FYI...Lewis Shaw's Mustang, out of the Dallas area, uses the Aeroproducts prop. But you're right that there aren't many with 'em.

If you mean FF-704, isn't that the prop used on the P-51H? Don't mean to be nitpicky but I'm just wondering.
