My father (ironically born in 1922) had a screw-type jack that he used his entire life wrenching on various cars. He told me it was from a Holmes car that my grandfather bought used and he often stated that there "are no known Holmes cars" [to survive]. That's why I was so excited to see you found one!!! Could this be the only survivor? Keep up the great videos!!!

What's amazing is every vehicle that wasn't a Model T Ford in 1920, looked exactly like that (with various different designs, colors, shaped sculpt, and size). Maybe you should study before getting ready to seperate this as an "ahead of its time" type appraisal when the average vehicle in 1920 was beautiful, not that cheap Ford shit_ that everyone gawks over today. Not to mention California tops, detachable hard tops, in built hard tops, custom phaeton covers, and limousine super structure builds.

The tales that Holmes could tell if only she could talk. Very interesting--so many early automakers that were part of the story of the American auto industry's formative era are all but forgotten now. Cars are cultural history as much as they are industrial or technological history. Every car is a window on the time that produced it, and every survivor preserves that time in a tangible form that we can look at, study, admire, touch, feel and experience. If we're lucky, we can even still use and enjoy them as originally intended.

Jay, As alwsys I throughly enjoyed your video. Orphan or rare and defunct cars are my favorite and you cover them better than anyone. The Homes is interesting as I had never heard of it. That said please take what I am going to say as genuine, constructive criticism , not a complaint. One of the topics you promise to talk about is the " buttons ,switches. and knobs. However, it this video as well as others you say " I don't know know what this does". That is perfectly understandable on these rare old cars. They probably perform a function that is no longer needed, or is automated. Since i believe you have the owners permission to make the video of their car, might I humbly suggest that you might ask them what it does. Not only would we have our curiosity sated but you will sound even more knowledgeable. Thank you for all your hard work . I know it takes a lot of work to put together multiple videos per week. It isn't just point the camera and talk.

If I am not wrong, this is an example of the so called "Four-Passenger Victoria Coupe" body style - a two-door body with three fixed seats and a collapsible jump seat in the front row. A very tall roof and an integrated ("bustle-back") trunk are also characteristic of this body style. It developed into the Club Sedan, a shorter version of a regular two-door sedan. Also, Ford used the name for its hardtops in 1950s. There's been an excellent topic on AACA about it.

It is somewhere in my FOGGY memory banks! Anyway, a VERY interesting litlle coupe! Everyone comfortable but the front seat passenger!!! The engine is VERY interesting! Franklins had a big fan at the front at that time, but the Holmes seems to have something different! Maybe at the back? Pulling air from front to back? VERY interesting! That Detroit air cooled is definitely one I've heard of, either. Knox was famous for its "waterless" air cooled cars during the brass era.

There is ONE paragraph about the Holmes, including a photo of a 1918 Holmes, which can only be described as Phuggly. Other than saying it was a bit more expensive than a Franklin, and that the company went from 1918 to 1923, there was no further info.

A bunch of small carmakers came and went in the early days, and several of them are known only through ads found in newspaper archives. Most really had nothing worthwhile to offer and cheaper/ better competition cut them down quickly, but some hung on long enough to be noted. It's elementary economics my dear Watson (I just HAD to do that, sorry 🙃). Yet this one seems as if perhaps they should have done better, especially using the renowned Franklin engine and the apparent build quality of this example. Even the styling is good here. The height could have been an issue as most cars were stored in carriage houses with doors about that same height. It's clearly aimed toward those with hired drivers not needing to transport friends or family too; not uncommon then but excluding a large market section due to that. I do like it but who wouldn't want a Pierce Arrow back then? It does top the others in the second WYR for me though. I like the time-related ads you clip in Jay. A suggestion if you can find one, but maybe cover the "Reddy Kilowatt", one of the first attempts at a modern EV with very few examples left 😁
