[@bcfairlie1]

What a remarkable example of my absolute favorite American makes.

[@misplacedcajun2325]

That is a wonderful car. So original (which is good!!). The engine runs like the proverbial sewing machine. Thanks for showing.

[@michaelcallahan5358]

Such craftsmanship, every thing is thought out and well planned!

[@tbone1143]

This gorgeous Packard came out the same year I did.....and we are both 76 years old. Makes me think that maybe I need a complete restoration job....LOL.

[@wholeNwon]

+tbone1143 Nope, you're a classic, too!

[@rossblankert170]

I am going to buy a series 1701 1939 Packard. and restore her. The old cars were made better and us old guys are tougher as well.

[@joesinkovits6591]

Wow... why can’t the design cars as elegant as this anymore? Compared to this, the Lexus LS looks like it was designed in the middle of an acid-induced nightmare.

[@odietamo9376]

Exactly how I feel.

[@martentrudeau6948]

What a beautiful car, Packard quality and style.

Great car with a shutter, that's what missing in modern cars, i really love them

[@DwightMS1]

Oh man, that's the way a car should look. Every one today looks like a toaster.

[@brucegibbins3792]

".......looks like a toaster" I like that description a lot. sadly, so very true.

I have to disagree, there are some pretty nice looking toasters :-)

@@bigredc222 Ha ha, I wouldn't want my toaster to look like a car either.

A real Beauty!

[@windseer55]

I like this car!

[@lucianene7741]

As I think of it, this body style really makes sense. Excellent visibility, great engine bay access, thin wheels for better fuel efficiency, two spare wheels, spacious trunk with a foldable rack to hold extra luggage. On the down side, too long a wheelbase makes for a very large turning radius and the rear window is too small.

[@brendonusa]

Very Nice.

[@sanjeevpereira6765]

Great vedio and car

[@traingirl99]

That is one nice museum. :)

[@E34Benzin]

Very beautiful car. That V12 runs better than any modern car's engine. How much would a Packard V12 like this cost?

[@spokemotors]

Hello, This V-12 sold for around $100k. Thanks for your interest, Dave Henry

[@rossblankert170]

The car new was probably about $2400 but that was a fortune then.

[@myrryxmas691]

@@rossblankert170 the 1507 was Packard's top of the line chassis. Base price would have been in the $5000 range. In 1937, $2400 would get you a Packard 120 (their mass-produced model) with bells and whistles.

[@IcelanderUSer]

Someone should come out with new Packards. Perhaps GM could buy the name and make them as a step above Cadillac. Or replace Cadillac name with Packard. Then they could make all new models that are totally unique to all the other GM brands. Just a thought.

[@myrryxmas691]

When Packard existed, their only competition was Rolls Royce. A couple businessmen in Arizona bought the name and tried to resurrect the marque in 1999, and got as far as building a prototype, but ran out of money. They sank millions into the deal, but it wasn't enough. The last I heard, that prototype was sold at auction to a collector in Australia for about $140,000 back in 2014 I think.

[@odietamo9376]

@@myrryxmas691 I never heard this before. I wonder what that prototype looked like. Do the same businessmen still own the name? Can’t help but admire those men for a valiant attempt, even if it didn’t work out and they lost a ton of money.

[@odietamo9376]

As long as I am indulging in ideas, my fantasy, if money were no object, would be to manufacture-whether a Packard or some other beautiful car from the 30s to early 40s-a new car using today’s technology, but designed to look like a 1937 Packard, for example. I realize compromises would have to be made to meet current regulations and so forth. Heck, it wouldn’t have to be a Packard; I’d settle for almost any car from that time. The design aesthetic of that period beats anything since. I’m not making a purist argument here, but how wonderful it would be to have a car that has some of the stunning design and practical comforts of those cars. (Hey, I said it was a fantasy.)

The original owner was a multi-millionaire.
