+1 .. Man o man, Herr Donald Osborne is living large. .. An initial Packard car model from the day. ... Thank you. .. Came for the car, stayed for the D. Osborne narration ......

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Indeed, good sir. Thanks for watching!

[@crbourret]

I love the way the seats look like chairs mounted on top of the chassis, fantastic!

[@E.T.GARAGE]

One Cylinder is better than no cylinder at all, Thanks for sharing a rare automobile.

[@LAP1050]

So quiet 🤫. Donald your narrations are always a pleasure to listen to. The love for the automobiles you present to us is quite evident🤌. Thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for watching and your kind words!

[@alexkalish8288]

I think a better term for these automobiles is "Pioneer" vs "veteran" of the Brass era. That Model F is an incredible car, I love the Model 30 which came shortly after this beauty and is a real driver. Driving a 49 Packard is a day at the gym. My older cars are T's but a Model 30 is on my list.

[@johndavey72]

Good evening Donald. I was at a show last weekend and there was a single cylinder 1911 De Dion Bouton .lt was incredible to see and hear this 113 year old motorcar . Even more incredible is to learn this Packhard was 9 years it's senior !!! Thankyou Donald

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for sharing, John!

[@johnnymason2460]

Hey, Mr. Osborne. You need to get Mr. Jay Leno a chance to drive that old Packard. I'm sure he would enjoy the drive.

[@wesalexander2693]

Donald, you drive some of the most interesting vehicles on the planet and your commentary is wonderful, I could watch these videos over and over! Thank you for these!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for watching!

[@sparky6086]

I imagine having situational awareness, is a must when driving a veteran car such as this Packard, just like when I machine dirt roads & cut the pasture with my 1940 Ford 9N tractor.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

That second sentence earned you some brownie points. And you are correct, quite a bit of situational awareness is required... unless your goal is to emulate your tractor and end up in the pasture.

[@mooslionheart]

As the master Jay Leno refers to it as “accident avoidance technology “🦊

[@SteveOThePatsFan]

Love these old cars, I have to make my way to the museum this year. Thanks for the great content. 👍

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

We look forward to seeing you!

[@melvinburwell8202]

One cylinder. Wow. Only the Audrain. Not a speed burner. Not beautiful .But exquisitely interesting. Thank you Mr.O. ❤❤💪😎😜

[@eeblatter]

This is great to see! There used to be a single cylinder Cadillac in S. Pasadena that would go out for an occasional drive through town. Pop, pop, pop... I love the real early cars, horseless carriages, and the solutions that they came up with. I have a great book, "Carriages Without Horses" by R. Scharchburg which chronicles the story of the Duryea brothers and all the challenges they had in building their car. No carburetors available from suppliers until Dave Holley came up with one. And the story of how they attended the Worlds Fair to see the new Benz car that featured spindle steering for 4 wheels after his earlier 3 wheelers. Benz found an old patent that Charles Darwin's father had invented to make turning easier for horses necks. Benz was so happy with that development that he called the new model Victoria. A great read that I recommend to all.

[@murdoc6501]

Stunning example of automotive history that is still running/driving! Amazed by the commentary, and how you can get behind the wheel of so many different, complicated vehicles and navigate/drive them! Go Donald and Audrain, keep moving forward!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching!

[@scottsteeves]

You have the best job in the world.

[@bigsarge2085]

Would be so fun!

[@randyhyland847]

Extremely excited for the veteran run coverage. Definitely a bucket list /lottery aspiration to participate some day. Thanks for sharing

[@jim1407]

Beautiful

[@kana4114]

Donald, This is one of the best videos you’ve done in my humble opinion. The joy and passion you share with the world is exemplary and continues to drive my desire to seek the finer points of automotive history as the Event Coordinator for the Martin Auto Museum in Arizona. Thank you for your enthusiasm!!!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@dalgguitars]

What fun!

[@jeffgann6613]

Another wonderful review. Thank you 👍

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DaveTheRred]

Wow 122 y/o car. Incredible!

[@gregkarkowsky967]

Beautiful machine, Beautiful setting. Thank you Donald.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-cn6re9jr1t]

Your a lucky man with your lifestyle, great country side, lovely tree lined lanes. Somewhat different to the slum streets in the city

[@stephanperreault9274]

Driving one of these to the gym. and you are tired before your workout. Nice car, a real beauty !

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

That's why we try to drive these cars as much as we can.. so we don't have to go to the gym!!

[@jimbressler1333]

Love the engine sound

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

It certainly chugs along!

[@JD-hh9io]

I think I had a filling come loose while watching this video

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

We know a great dentist if you need one! Now imagine how much vibration Donald dealt with..

[@JD-hh9io]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork funny you should mention that, my dentist that has been taking care of me since 1976 has retired and I am not in love with his replacement.

[@StressLessCamping]

I think Donald Osborne could narrate my execution and I'd be interested but his love of these machines and the sheer joy he shares when driving them. It was also quite evident how much vibration there was in this machine by his voice sounding like he was talking into a fan.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Donald does have the best voice.. but don't worry he won't be narrating an execution!

[@chriscadman6379]

Hello. My father had a 1906 Olds . Tiller bar.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Hello, Chris! We have a tiller Olds as well! In fact, we're going to be driving it 50 miles this weekend in our 3rd annual Veteran Car Tour! You can see it in last year's recap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imfCaqWOltOGpqs And stay tuned for this year's recap, coming May 3rd!

[@chriscadman6379]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork Thank you sir. Enjoy the drive.

[@dcoop05]

This might be my favorite Audrain video so far. I love that Packard. The two levers... are they a throttle and a gear shifter?

[@seektruth8662]

Hey Donald, how about taking a couple of minutes and showing us around the car please? Let's see the engine and underhood. Is it chain or gear drive, how many speeds? Please show the controls and dashboard. They would be unique and fascinating on this nearly one of a kind vehicle. If this were a Camaro or Porsche we would have seen all this a hundred times before, but this is a rare opportunity. Thank you for taking us along on the ride though, it's fascinating as always to hear your Impressions and opinions. I love this channel, keep up the fine work.

[@giuliopedrali4794]

Wonderful, i hope for this year makes model cars of brass era cars, like Oldsmobile Curved dash, Northern runabout, Maxwell AB Rambler model C, and maybe this Packard F of 1902 1910 circa, in 1 : 20 scale in brass and wood like the originals

[@allenkranawetter9482]

Cool

[@lancerbiker5263]

As always eloquently described. Seeing the engine would have been nice. Will we see steam and electric in the future ?

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Check this video on our 1911 Rauch & Lang electric kzbin.info/www/bejne/foi5cmSie717f6Msi=g2ptcxRjUF-y-Pq4

[@user-oq3lh1js2e]

i think Packard was the 1st car with enclosed cabin 1899

[@allareasindex7984]

Please show us how the controls work. What are those big levers you’re pulling? How do you set the engine speed? Brakes?

[@michaeljohnson4947]

horseless carriage....wow....what will the think of next? Thanks Donald

[@giuliopedrali4794]

The motor is under the seat in central position in the american tradition, in Europe in 1903 / 1904 was under the front bonnet yet

[@joshuarosen465]

How did you pick 1907 as the cut off date for veryeran cars. Do you define them as any car that predated the Model T (introduced 1908).

[@themoldcars]

So is there a difference between what is termed a "veteran" car versus a horseless carriage?

[@jamesmisener3006]

I would like to have seen more about the controls, engine etc. Was your right hand on the brake all the time? Cheers 🇨🇦

[@donaldosborne2173]

@jamesmisener3006 , my bar my hand was on is not the brake, but the clutch lever. You can control the speed of the car by how much gear you engage. On the narrow, heavily crowned road I was on, it was useful to have as much throttle control as possible! Thanks for watching!

[@radioguy1620]

guessing the other 3 have lS motors ! but you cant go more LS than 1

[@TakashiAmanoOriginal]

Anywhere to find a half cylinder?

[@Dr650rob]

It's a thumper

[@SimpleCarGuy]

The video starts with ‘But’ or did something get cut off?

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

It’s starts with “but.” Just meant to give you a small taste of what’s to come in the video - you have to watch for the full remark!

[@SNIPERXYZ100]

When......Cars and Cigars event?

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

We have one coming up soon.. We'll save a space for you!

[@JohnCBurzynski]

Great car and good points made. However, I would prefer to maintain the role of passenger in a veteran car.

[@Shopsmith10er]

These veterans brass cars certainly are living history and worthy the time for any car enthusiast. Experienced Sears, Brush, Maxwell, Buick, Franklin, Ford, Olds, Knox, Cadillac. Also recommend in the US, the New London to New Brighton antique car run in Minnesota. Good single day challenge for these cars. This year 2024 event date August 10.
