I do believe that the last Van Cleve is at the Ford Museum but there are two St. Clairs here in Dayton, one at a historical park and one at the US Air Force Museum. ____ _____________________________________________________

Just a minor update. The Wright Van Cleve from the Ford Museum is currently loaned out and on display at the National Air & Space Museum in downtown Washington DC. I dropped in at lunchtime today. There is a special temporary exhibit with the Wright Flyer (where you can see it up close before it goes back up hanging from the ceiling) and other Wright Brothers historical information that will likely be around a few more months. It's a nice opportunity to see the Van Cleve in the DC area. The exhibit also noted that the bicycle experience of the Wright's provided several important design ideas for their airplanes.
