Plymouth Superbird
Each year many classic car auctions and shows are organized worldwide, but museums would be the one place were they are visible at any time. Probably the most significant classic car museums may be the Canton Classic Car Museum from Ohio.
This particular museum was founded through the late Marshall Belden in 1978, a man that realized what an important part those cars play in our history. Nowadays the classic car museum is really a home in excess of forty-five rare or eccentric cars. But these impressive vehicles aren’t the only real stars from the museum. A large number of historical pieces are displayed as well. This category includes: steam engines, movie posters or historical photographs.
The museum can be obtained seven days per week, from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm and it charges only $7.50 for adults and $5.00 for children under the age of 6. It also offers discounts for groups and guided tours. So if you’re thinking about souvenirs the gift shop opened during museum hours will be the answer for your shopping crave.
The museum is proud of its American iconic cars like the 1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible, probably the most famous cars ever built by Chevrolet or even the 1959 Cadillac Biarritz convertible, the car that reflects the futuristic vision of Harley Earl and Frank Hershey. The timeframe covered by this gorgeous cars ranges from 1901 to 1970. The oldest one is the 1901 curved-dash Oldsmobile, while the “new generation” brags around with a 1970 Plymouth Super Bird.
One-of-a-kind is a term that characterizes most of the cars displayed inside the museum. Each room includes a theme. For instance, the 1930′s theme is represented by some true automotive works of art. Brands such as Marmon, Pierce-Arrow, Cord, Packard or Cadillac take you back in time and present you the 1930s.
Another amazing car may be the Bantam pickup truck, an automobile that is actually a prototype built by Bantam for the U. S. Government. The vehicle was said to be a multi-purpose military vehicle, but in the finish it became in the marketplace. The Bantam pickup grew to become known as the Jeep. The initial contract that involved manufacturing a military vehicle was awarded to Willys/Overland and to the Ford Motor Company, since the Bantam company was too small for the task.
The Canton Classic Car Museum is also the proud who owns an original, not restored fire truck. We are talking about a 1937 Ahrens-Fox Quad powered with a massive Hercules engine. Another precious acquisition is really a 1937 Packard hearse that is equipped with a V12 engine. The most interesting feature of this car is presented by the hand-carved mahogany body panels.
Europeans are represented as well. A 1962 German-built Amphicar dominates one of the rooms. Surprisingly, this car was the type of car that may be used as a pleasure boat too. That’s the key reason why the Amphicar has dual propellers and the front wheels have been developed specifically to be used also as dual rudders. Another interesting car hosted through the museum is really a three-wheel Italian classic car, the 1957 BMW Isetta. Exactly this model was part of a TV program entitled “Family Matters”.
I hope which i convinced you to visit this car museum since it is well worth the trip. The astonishing rare cars, the events that the museum organizes every week, the town itself make a trip to the Canton Classic Car Museum a memorable experience.
