Bradley Brownell, Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum

Opened in 1943, and housing over 170 antique automobiles, motorcycles, and aircraft the Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio was one of the first of its kind in the United States. Its exhibitions are some of the most well curated in the country as preservation, not restoration, is the museums’ main goal.

Bradley Brownell, the co-founder of Radwood, a specialty car show that celebrates those vehicles from the 1980s and 1990s, is an automotive and motorcycle journalist, and has been recently appointed Director of the Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast, we sit down with Brad to talk history, as well as what he has instore for the future of the Crawford.
