Maybe you haven’t gone on a road trip with this little beauty (recently). Maybe top-of-the-line hybrids leave her in the dust. But the Little Tikes’ Cozy Coupe has the best gas mileage of any classic car I know.

With the 30th anniversary of the Cozy Coupe, not only is the classic edition being reproduced: this baby will now park her candy-apple red paint job in the Western Reserve Historical Society’s Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. With all the trouble in the auto industry (the Cozy Coupe outsold all other American cars in 2008—seriously), lighthearted news is appreciated. (Thanks, Fox News!)

For those unamused by this addition, the Auto-Aviation Museum offers nearly 200 larger cars, planes, and motorcycles within its velvet ropes. Find the classic (Model T), the showy (Mustangs, both Chevrolet-built and World War 2-built) and the ridiculous (DeLoreans). At the adjacent Library and History Museum, learn the lifestyles and history of a region where both flying and driving grew up.

There’s no flying car in the Historical Society’s collection, though. Yet.— Andy Dost
