1919 Holmes Series A

Built in Canton, Ohio from 1918 to 1926, the Holmes was described as 'the world's only full-sized air-cooled car' as well as 'America's Most Comfortable Car.' It sold in the mid-upper price range: $2,950 to $4,150.

For seven years Arthur Holmes was chief engineer of the H.H. Franklin Automobile Company, which built the most popular American air-cooled car, albeit a bit smaller than the Holmes. The Holmes rode on a 126-inch wheelbase chassis and was powered by a six-cylinder, 31.5 horsepower motor.

The company never realized its annual production goal of 4,000 automobiles. Its highest production total was 973 in 1921. By May 1923 the company had closed its doors.
