He does well with his double-clutching and shifting. Love that gear whine!

My dad bought a '33 Packard after he returned from Europe after WWII. As to driving at highway speeds, he often said it could pass anything except a Duesenberg or a gas station.

Amazing Packard! I had no idea that overdrive was even available in 1930.

That is one H of a car...smooth quiet and fast..My Dad worked for Packard from 35 to 45 as a Tool and Die maker. During the war he worked on the RR Merlin prototype engines that they wanted to use in the P38 fighters. He told about walking through the 2nd floor of the factory where all the custom bodied cars were built. Mentioning the 40 Packard Darrin convertible in particular. Packard was considered to be the pre-eminent American car mfg before Ww2..you were somebody if you owned a Packard. The advertising was.."Go ask a man who owns one." It was the standard to beat. My Dad and Uncle right before the war wanted to buy a used mid 30s "Big" Packard..my Grandfather told them if the guy stops at the gas station on the corner don't buy the car.. the guy stopped and they didn't buy the car. A little later my Dad bought a 40 110 Maroon convertible which he said was the best car he ever had. After the war he bought a 48 which had lots of engine problems. He called a friend at Packard who told him they were using "Green engine blocks." He got rid of it and bought a 50 Dodge dark blue Cornet which ne kept till late 62.

It's true many of the automakers did not let their blocks cure before machining them. My 47 Dodge pickup had that problem and had to have the block decked before it wouldn't blow head gaskets. Too much demand not enough supply I guess, so they got sloppy.

My dad had one of these prior to WWII. He sold it to a guy before being shipped out. When he returned home from the war, he learned that the guy he sold it to actually cut off the rear part of the car body and put a flatbed in its place and used it to haul hay around on his farm. Dad always said he felt like beating that guy to death. lol

How amazing that a 1930 Packard can keep up with freeway traffic.. The young man driving this car did an amazing job shifting the gears.

@cratecruncher4974 7 ай бұрын

These Packards are obviously impressive to gawk at but that drive on I-95 keeping up with modern traffic was amazing. This car is nearly 100 years old and almost as practical as a modern car. Amazing quality and condition.

I drove Dodge Brother 1927 and I mastered it as well without grinding but it is not easy

@CharlieLarkin75 7 ай бұрын

I know the car has enough power to handle the speeds, but you're a lot braver than I am taking that on 95 around Bridgeport/New Haven! Id be far more worried about the other drivers.

Either this man is an expert at shifting - not one grind - or that car has been refitted with a later synchromesh transmission along with that high speed rear end.

Um, grinding gears isn't mandatory if you know what you're doing.

Damn a young un who can not only drive a standard shift but double clutch!

@dukecraig2402 7 ай бұрын

@@ronbrewer2721 Why is everyone finding it so hard to believe he can do that? There's plenty of truck drivers out there his age that shift hundreds of times a day, and it's not like people who lived in the 30's and 40's had some sort of genetic predisposition to being able to double clutch that people nowadays don't have, if people could learn it back then there's no reason they can't learn it nowadays. I rode a tank shift foot clutch Harley around for years, everytime someone ask me if they were hard to ride I told them all the same thing, "If they were they'd never have sold any motorcycle's back then".
