It looks like a 1942 Packard with some idiosyncratic features. It isn’t, despite oral history that had Franklin Roosevelt induce Packard to send its blueprints and production dies to the Soviet Union as a gift to Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin during World War II to play up to Stalin’s love for Packards. The design, styling and basic layout (inline eight-cylinder side valve engine, independent fr...

This particular example was cosmetically refinished decades ago, likely in the 1950s and 1960s, and is still wearing those handsomely patinated finishes today, with paint that holds a suitable design and a very comfortable interior. Much of the exterior trim is painted, with only a handful of nickel accents, resulting in a rather menacing appearance. The engine compartment appears original but ...

And part 2 was never made! Sad emoticon
Very charming car.
People had class back then. Pride.
Barn find ? Really ?? Just what kind of Barn ? Where ? Some millionaire ??
Nice interview.
Thank you Lisa!
If it's a preselect there's no clutch pedal, it's a gear change pedal.
That shifts like my 18 spd Kenworth
"Come away with me, Lucille..."
Excellent
Fantastic 😊
And you can instal a factory super charger and zoom off
This car is still to this day a mechanical marvel
What a work of Art❤
Chassis number on the firewall tag shows it is a '27 Franklin, and ending in "17" shows it is a Tandem Sport body. However, the engine and hood are '30 franklin and Gemmer steering. Lots of other parts like gauges, head lights, transmission, taillight, and bumpers are not original to a '27 either. It's a shame because as the original Tandem Sport it is a very rare and desirable body style.
What’s the fuel economy lol
That's pretty fast for 1901!
I wanna be free I wanna just live Inside my Cadillac That is my s---
hahaha yea right
This is so mechanical! Even the engine turned dash is art. No start/stop engines, connected cars with an I-pad for a dash, and puny 4 cylinder turbo pieces of crap! This was a real car and an engineering masterpiece. Thanks for sharing a piece of history.
@donjohnson3701 yeah & it’s a 100# death trap & a lot of work to just drive! It’s pretty but sure wouldn’t want to drive also neither did the people at the time being it didn’t sell good.
Wow thanks for sharing
I have a two-seat 2001 EzGo Txt Golf Cart which feels and operates basically the same. I feel like I'm in 1901 every time I take it for a spin.
That is so cool! It looks like it moves pretty good too!
Amazing car. American ingenuity
Certainly "Your daddy's Cadillac". Awsome machine.
This is the Pinnacle of engineering back in those days
Precioso!, lastima de Briggs stratton!.
Cool, I got one from Christmas that's been sitting in a barn since 1989!
Wow......tom laferriere....I remember you on AACA forums..... I hope to maybe witness this in person....I was ZondaC12 on there about 2005ish and at the time I was 16 and unearthing my dad's 1938 Buick inline 8 Special he left me when he died a year prior. If not for that car I probably still would have zero idea what a Duesenberg even was. I remember someone who I think his real name was Bob, in Ocala. He definitely had some toys......I just moved to Lakeland, finally had enough winter road salt. I can't believe a couple hours south in Naples is basically the best car museum in the country. Pretty damn excited to be in the Sunshine State where these beasts can be used almost year-round and the roads are (mostly) smooth enough to be car-worthy.
It’s like driving a semi. My 76 long hood KW. Same fill
Born find ? Really ? Just what kind of born was that ? Few milions worth ??
Very interesting
I would like to know more about where the car is now. My family was the first owners after the restoration.
I was noticing the front suspension?? Predocessor Torsion bar /independent type???
This thing was around when Titanic went down...
I got to ride in one of these Curved Dash Oldsmobile replicas in the late 60s when I was 13 and visiting grandparents in Missouri. My grandfather’s neighbor owned it. 😂 I’d like to think the experience led me to buying an Edsel in high school and that led to owning a Model T Ford much later. And now I’m doing the Corvair thing. 🤷♂️😂😂👍
Let’s please stick with the original cars,
I think I might load up the Packard and drive down the mountain to have tea with the Vanderbilts!
What did it sell for?? I'm looking for one!
It's a model 29 ?
As a Major Serious for real Oldsmobile Fan and owner of 3. 2 currently, this put a smile on my face. I'm in love with it. 😂
Beautiful!! Restore & or drive it. Enjoy!

I am fascinated with this. The selector is a work of art. The operating pedal, is is like the Model T where the clutch is the brake bands gripping?, or is it a plate clutch? In England we had high quality cars using a fluid flywheel and epicyclic 'box, like the Daimler, and Armstrong Siddeley, as well as many thousands of London Transport buses, some the STL type with the pedal linked directly to the gearbox, and many more, the RT type, with the operating pedal using a compressed air valve to shift the gearbox brake bands.. Also, the British Army had the Saracen, Saladin, and Ferret armoured cars, with mechanical pre selector. They also had Lockheed power hydraulic brakes, also found on the Routemaster bus.
Amazing technology
WAY TO SHORT! Could have watched that all day.
Another great car bit the dust
Always worries me when someone sells something they like.
I guess the barns around here are a bit lacking.
Preselecting transmission is awesome
Bravo. My dad's older brother had an Overland Touring Car when my dad was a boy.
