Canton Classic Car Museum

This original, unrestored fire truck is a 1937 Ahrens-Fox Quad, the most coveted collector fire engine on the planet. The massive Hercules engine and the giant, chromed, pressure equalization dome up front make this enormous truck truly imposing.

How many vehicles have you seen that sport hand-carved mahogany body panels? We have such a vehicle in this 1937 Packard hearse. This car is powered by a V-12 engine and sits alongside a companion 1937 Packard flower car. The flower car looks much like a 1930s version of an El Camino.

Did you know that there were cars built in Ohio and there were 7 built right here in Canton? The Canton Classic Car Museum has one! The Holmes was built here in Canton Ohio by Arthur Holmes. The Holmes was: “The world’s only full sized air-cooled car”. It was also advertised as “America’s Most Comfortable”. Built in Canton from 1917-1922 and was said at that time to be possibly America’s ugliest car. Come and decide for yourself!

The car at left resides in our Canton Room. It is a gorgeous 1937 Studebaker President Bullet-Proof Police Car. You can step right up and admire the bullet-resistant window glass that is over an inch thick. Each window features a closable Tommy gun porthole.
