    On "My Car Story" we're in Geneva IL at The Geneva Concours d’Elegance on 8-28-16.
    We're looking at a 1937 Packard Model 1508 Convertible Sedan & V12 Engine in Green Paint.
    The car's Owners are Larry & Carol Pumphrey. Larry purchased the car in 2009. The car took 5 years to restore.
    When I asked Larry, “Why the 37 Packard?”, Larry shared, “This Packard is the Best Packard Ever Made”.

    Totally stunning! One of the things I love so much about these classics is everything is real. It’s not wood or metal effect, it is wood and metal. The mascot is probably solid silver too!

    Lou, I wish other videographers would take lessons from you on how to photograph a car. Your hand is steady, you give us money shots of the entire front, side, rear, interior and engine bay of the car and then zoom in on all the most important details. And you always finish with a shot of the proud owner standing next to his car for scale. No random flitting around, pointing at the ground or the sky or making us sick with unnecessary panning. No missing major details like the interior. And you ask intelligent questions of the owner too.

      during WW2, Rolls Royce sent one of the prototypes of their "Merlin" engine to Packard. Packard sent it back after squeezing another 1000 horsepower out of it.
      Rolls Royce incorporated Packard's improvements, then licensed Packard to build them as well for the war effort.
      i'm betting Henry Ford couldn't have pulled off THAT one!
      as a machinist, i was born in the wrong era.... craftsmanship like this brings tears to my eyes wishing i could have worked with the men who made these amazing creations.

    I am just absolutely floored at how classy and regal the car looks. I mean, this looks like something that wouldn't be out of place in The Great Gatsby. Just....holy mother god she is beautiful, and I'm just grateful to see that Packard in such a fantastic restoration. The owner as well I respect for not only restoring this without experience but wanting to do it right, but also drive this thing so the rest of us can marvel in it rather than lock it away in a garage forever.

    A 12 cylinder, dual side mount, jade green Packard touring car. Magnificent. I've heard the top on a convertible sedan is a mutha to put down and worse to put up. The "B" posts are removed by hand and then trying to get the boot on isn't easy either. By the time you're done it's turned winter and too cold to have the top lowered

But instead...we let her fade away an Ignominious end for such a Magnificent Company

      Some of the post-war Packards were good cars but they couldn't keep up with GM's lower priced, powerful V8s. We had a '53 Caribbean and I thought it had a solid feel that was hard to match.

    • @tomsriv
      @tomsriv Před 5 lety +4

      Packard made a number of marketing mistakes, the first and foremost was trying to go down market and gain volume after the war when any car they built would have sold. They also couldn't compete down market with the economies of scale at the big 3. They also didn't have the styling of GM. Harley Earl at GM was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century and his designs kept GM in the front. No comparison in styling between a post war Cadillac and a Packard. Packard could compete with Lincoln and Imperial, but not Cadillac after the war.

    The 1930s Packards are some of the most beautiful and best engineered cars of the pre-WWII era. Great video and nice owner couple. The Packard engine bay is just as beautiful as the rest of the car. So great to see these classics restored and glad to hear he plans to drive it..........that's why it was built in the first place. 👍 Wonder if he (and three helpers) will ever put the top down. There is one major improvement with the power operated tops in the 50s and later. One person and one button and the top was up or down.

    BACK IN THE LATE 30 'S AND EARLY 40'S I LIVED ONE DOOR DOWN FROM THE FARREL FUNERAL HOME IN OREGON IL.AT THAT TIME TILL 1947 THEY OWNED TWIN PACKARD 12'S A HENNY HEARSE MADE IN FREEPORT IL AND A LIMO THAT THEY CONVERTED TO AN AMBULANCE BY TAKING THE LIMO SEAT OUT AND PUTTING IN A SINGLE BUCKET SEAT FOR THE DRIVER . A STRETCHER WOULD THEN FIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE DOOR PILLAR WAS MOVABLE BY LOCKING IT TO THE REAR DOOR. THEY REP-LACED THE HEARSE WITH A 1947 CADILLAC WHICH WAS ALSO CONVERTIBLE TO AN AMBULANCE THEY ALSO BOUGHT A 1947 DESOTA LIMO WHICH HAD THE SAME SETUP AS THE PACKARD LIMO TO AN AMBULANCE. THE CADILLAC WAS A PROBLEM AS IT WOULD NEVER START SO THEY DID NOT USE IT AS AN AMBULANCE. IN FACT THEY TRADED IT FOR A 1949 BUICK HEARSE BY FLEXIBLE. THE DESOTA WAS LIKE THE PACKARDS GOOD FOR 10YRS.

    Lou, you have a knack for selecting the best autos to review. I always enjoy your videos, in particular those showing Packards, Duesenbergs, and Cadillacs. They were a part of the old Great America that may be returning again with Johan de Nysschen at the helm of Cadillac.

    Brings back memories, my Dad brought home a 37 Packard V12 rumble seat roadster, black on black. He bought it at an estate auction in the spring of 1955. We had a lot of fun riding around in it that summer even though he could never get the 12th cylinder to fire, he sold it thru the Motor Trend classifieds in the fall of that year, made a tidy profit I believe, always wondered what happened to it.
