Scott's 1938 Packard 12 Gentleman's Coupe.

Walk around video of my 1938 Packard 12 Gentlemen's Coupe. This car was my grandfather's, and has undergone a full restoration. It is a true American classic, and has it's senior award through the Classic Car Club of America.

Absolutely gorgeous always loved early Packard's

[@lasalleman6792]

I always thought of the Packard as sort of an American Rolls Royce, or perhaps a Bentley. Wonderful cars. Well built, well designed.

[@boatman1328]

Stunning engineering, a true work of art from a bygone era. Can you imagine the 100's of hours spent on the wheel forming the roof and fender lines?? The interior and instrumentation is as elegant as it gets. Very impressive, new cars today with all of the electronics can't touch these works of art.

[@alexkalish8288]

Doesn't get much better than this. Superb style and engineering in original condition plus a bit. It's in the right hands...

[@anthonykennedy5324]

Gorgeous. A work of art. Thank you.

[@billhowes7937]

Stately and elegant. What a fabulous interior. Rumble seats were so much fun to ride in. Friends of my parents had a '36 Ford coupe. They had the trunk made into a rumble seat so they could all ride. I rode in the rumble seat with my Mom and the lady. What a blast it was.

💙🇨🇦🍁From a Canadian fan… this restoration is “Stunning” Concours D’Élégance status. This car is the most beautiful in design, engineering and style ever produced. You are a lucky young man to have ownership of this magnificent ride. Much respect to Packard Bob and a host of others who took great pride to bring this car to such high standard. 💥✌️🇨🇦🍁

WoW....I was amazed at the beauty of that factory gold paint, interior wood & leather compliment & complete an astonishing American icon!!

Great video of the most beautiful Packard .

[@bobdadruma]

Beautiful car and a true gem. Amazing how technology had improved horsepower over the years. A 2 Liter engine of today has more performance than a 500 C.I. 12 cyl engine of that era.

[@clarebutterfield6927]

What an outstanding car! That is body is so unusual, I am sure it is a custom bodied car! Very rare!

[@scotthoye7360]

It is, and according to the CCCA and the AACA car clubs, it is the last running example in existence that is documented and road worthy.

[@raepaul8158]

I’ve never seen nor heard of this model of Packard. Usually they are sedans or duel, cowell photons ! In their day, they made the some of the finest cars in the world

[@cratecruncher4974]

Beautiful unique car. I spun a rod bearing in a V-12 E-Type in my 20's so I can relate to that "Oh no, what have I done?" feeling. I also did the work myself and had to take half the car apart to get it out. Simply finding people that can do the machine work for these large engines is getting harder with each passing year.

[@kaukolaurinolli]

What a beautiful example of art deco design. this is one of the most beautiful cars I have seen. I'll bet Jay Leno would pay a small fortune to own this car. I know I would and it would be worth every penny.

Not a fan of the color. But, were I to judge it, would never think to deduct for it. Beautiful work of driveable art! Hope you enjoy it for decades!

Never seen a car with the front fenders sweeping up around the sidemount spare tires like that. Thank you for the video.

[@triplanelover]

20 years old and inherited the car, pretty nice; I was much older when I bought a two owner super eight from 1940. Well, I enjoy telling people about the car and you should be equally proud to do so...I like being bombarded with questions, shows enthusiasm and thats why we drive these old cars isn't it

I'm sure maintenance is constant. Can you imagine what it was like in the day? Keeping those white walls white? And everything else. It's been loved and cared for all it's life.

[@neildickson5394]

Gorgeous car, ultimate color, beautiful interior and dash. It's easy to see why Packard was THE luxury car for decades. One downside, the overhanging luggage trunk, rather detracts from the cars lines.

[@Hartfordland]

I own two '37 12 cylinder three window coupes (one just sold and going to Germany). Wonderful car you have there and great color!

[@scotthoye7360]

That's awesome! For the past 15 years, I have been trying to find another 1938 Packard 12 3 window rumble seat coupe and have had no luck. There was another one known to exist with mine back in 1985, but after the owner passed away, the car disappeared. I wish someone would come forward if they have a 1938 like mine. So far mine is the last one known to exist that is road worthy according to CCCA.

[@Hartfordland]

@@scotthoye7360 i'd be curious to know how many 38's were built. There were 42 37's built and eight survive today. Do you know Jim Pearsall?

[@scotthoye7360]

@Hartfordland As far as I know, only 8, 1938 Packard 12's 3 window coupes were made with the rumble seat. I have a video up I made yesterday of an old VHS tape that shows mine and the last other 1938 Packard 12 rumble seat coupe known to exist back in 1985. No, I do not know Jim Persall.

Of all the incredible classics whether custom built or factory offerings they started with the radiator. The grill design identified the car and nobody but nobody had a prettier or more magnificent grill than Packard.

[@scotthoye7360]

And what color would that be?

[@jamesmcinnis208]

@@scotthoye7360 There are many options, not just one,as you seem to suggest I'm proposing.

[@scotthoye7360]

I just asked for a color, I'm not suggesting that the factory gold color is the best. That's how the car came. That's the color that my grandfather wanted to keep when restoring it, I'm sorry it's not to your liking.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

@scotthoye7360 There's no need to apologize, and I don't mean to be insulting. I can certainly understand the desire to keep the original color; that'salways the preservationist's first choice. When I looked up the factory colors for the 1938 model year, the dark colors are elegant, but the ivory really jumped out at me. In any case, it's a car to be proud of.

[@paulomiranda1717]

Awesome car,has a proper manual transmission and yes it's from another age so proper care is advisable! Cheers

[@666toysoldier]

That trunk is as big as a teardrop trailer.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

I saw an unrestored Packard as a teenager at an impromptu show in NJ in the late 1960’s. Up close, I was surprised by how large it was. It had freestanding headlights and four doors, so a 1930’s model? Hmmm…it might have been less than 40 years old then.

175 hp out of a 7.7 liter engine - I guess they weren't much about power back then, smooth running and durability were more important.

[@alleyoop1234]

Low revs kept the horsepower numbers down

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

They had lower octane gasoline so compression was lower.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

That was one of the most powerful cars you could buy.

And we measured engines by cubic inches, not litters.
