This was formerly a gas station that was built in 1958. I don't know which brand it was, so would anyone who is familiar with old gas station architecture like to fill me in?
Una familia de hojalateros - los Payá - comenzó a vender por los mercados de la comarca, junto a sus productos destinados a un público adulto, una amplia variedad de tazas, platos, candiles, regaderas, y otros utensilios en miniatura, destinados a los niños. Durante algunos años, los Payá debieron compatibilizar su hojalaterÃa tradicional con la construcción de los primeros juguetes, puesto que en el primer documento que se conserva sobre la fundación de la empresa (la venta del taller paterno a sus hijos en 1905) todavÃa no se especifica que se tratara de una fabrica juguetera. Pronto debió convertirse en una actividad rentable porque en 1909 ya acudieron como jugueteros a la Exposición Regional Valenciana. La utilización de la técnica del engrapado les permitió ampliar sobradamente el catálogo de modelos de juguetes.
A partir de ahÃ, la industria ibense del juguete comenzó a consolidarse con rapidez; cuando en 1912 se constituyó formalmente Payá Hermanos, ya hacÃa dos años que habÃa iniciado sus actividades otra fábrica ibense, que con los años se convertirá en Rico, S.A.
En aquellos años de preguerra, se vivió una auténtica edad de oro en la fabricación de juguetes de lata. Payá y Rico rivalizaron en todo tipo de modelos, especialmente en los relativos a medios de locomoción: barcos, trenes, coches, aviones, ... En la época republicana, la producción ibense se amplia a otros juguetes más sofisticados: trenes eléctricos, los proyectores de cine o las construcciones.
Tras el paréntesis bélico, los años cuarenta fueron de cierta decadencia, debido al raquitismo de la demanda y a la falta de materias primas. Sin embargo es la época más pujante de los trenes y de la aparición de los juguetes de plástico.
The Crawford Auto-Aviation Collection is a museum in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Part of the Western Reserve Historical Society, it was founded by industrialist Frederick C. Crawford of TRW, and opened in 1965. The collection began as the Thompson Products Auto Album, which was also founded by Crawford.
Its eclectic collection of classic vehicles includes 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 an 1895 Panhard et Levassor, while the most modern is the robotic car named "DEXTER", which was team Team Case's entry in 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge 2007, in which it placed in the top 20 entries. As of 2011, the museum has 37 cars that are more than 100 years old, the largest such collection in the world. 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.

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
