The Cleveland History Center proudly exhibits automotive perfection

Trust me. You seldom need an excuse to tour the Cleveland History Center (Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum) but just in case you do there is an extraordinary collection now on display. I am of course talking about the Ferrari cars now on display.

Ferrari’s tag line on Instagram is right to the point: “Italian excellence that makes the world dream.”

As stated in the museums e-mail: “The design and performance of Enzo Ferrari’s cars have been a hallmark of Italian design since the first Ferrari was built in 1947. While millions may dream of Ferrari, only a lucky few can actually own one because, since its inception, Ferrari has built only around 250,000 cars. Compare that with the 10.5 million cars sold in 2022 by the world’s leading carmaker (Toyota), and you’ll have a better appreciation of why every Ferrari is special. The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum’s exhibit provides visitors with an up-close look at some of Enzo Ferrari's dream machines.”

In total, over a dozen prized chassis are on display in all of their sparkling and powerful glory. The exhibition is in partnership with The Ferrari Club of Cleveland and will be in place through March 30, 2023.
