In 1977 when I was 23 years old I bought a 1940 120 four door. It was an absolute gem. I drove it to work on Houston freeways and often had a cluster of curious drivers around me. I took it to the Steak and Shake drive in. They asked me on the intercom “What kind of car is that?” I said “a Packard.” They said “who makes it?”

Beauuutiful Car!

Nice. Could see me or my wife driving that here in New Zealand. Filling the gas tank would be a different story though. The price of our petrol is equivalent to approximately 7 to 9 American dollars per gallon.

You US people are so used to automatic transmission and silenced riding, that EVs aren't that much of a change...

Please show the exteriors of all these cars.. they are icons

Nicely done! I'm having my cruise control servo rebuilt right now. Nice to see one actually functioning. That dash is perfect! Did you have it restored somewhere? Beautiful car.

Outstanding! I have been working on my 67 sedan in very rough condition when I bought it May of 2023. Nice video! I noticed there are front radio stereo speakers. The car must have had the 8 track stereo option when new. That right hand mirror - wow ultra rare! I definitely miss having one of those. Can't believe how well your AC works. Great! Just got mine working but it doesn't cool quite that well. Also like that yours has the manual heat/AC control. Is yours converted to R134a? That engine bay is stunning too! Thanks for sharing.

"67 the 430 or 462?

Is the HI-BEAM indicator blue or red?

❤

I don't know if they are still running tours round Napier in New Zealand in a 1939 Packard 110, but I did get the opportunity to experience a tour in 2014.

A durable car that preform perfectly!

Classy car that would be so much fun! And prestigious to! When can we go!

CADILLACS ARE ALWAYZ DA SHIAT. SUPER SMOOTH RIDEZ

Top-of-the-line of the "top line" of luxury sedans!

Why didn't you show the interior that's the best part of the car

Funny how you don't show the biggest part that made this a Talisman - in seats!

this has to be my favorite video Has every thing I love California and Packard cars

Talisman has the most beautiful seats. they should put those super puffy seats in todays Cadillacs instead of the flat hard ones they have today. i swear Cadillac went backwards in the seat department.

We didn’t get to see any of the Talisman features.

Have you sold it? What are you looking to get for it if not sold? Connecticut though I am, I'd be willing to take a ride for the right money...

OMG, another one! They seem to be all over the place! If the 2,000 or so produced, I'll hazard the guess a good many of them still exist... Edit: yours is very nice - love the color and nice condition 😉

Great ride and beautiful trip in nice California weather. I love the Packards, especially the pre-war cars....

I was hoping to see the whole car and interior. All I saw was the dashboard?

Is this car for sale?

I am 55 years old and I always grown up with a Cadillac I was brought home from the hospital in a Cadillac Cadillac it's not what it used to be

I owned one back in the days nice ride,had plenty of fun in the seats.

What a beautyful boat. Back then, when "Cadillac" really meant Cadillac...

Very nice car the California weather has treated it well.

Lovely car and road trip! Thank your for sharing it. No chance you sell it??

The best car in my 68 years of life was a 1940 Packard 120. Straight 8 was smooth as butter and almost silent. It was the big sedan with suicide doors and mohair seats. You just walked in and sat down. The engine would press you in your seat in first and second. I was delighted the first time I drove it at night. The lucite needle on the speedometer turned from white to orange to red as the car accelerated.

Ask the man who owns one.

Thanks for sharing your adventure and car.. Does your Packard have Overdrive? On 'decent' roads, at what speed do you cruise?

A bystander hearing but not seeing you coming in the fog then you appear foglights ablaze and vanish again - - - only you knew it was real.

Great looking car. How does it feel to pilot a rig a few years older than yourself ? ❤️🙏

Moving right along, that old flathead Packard engine is smooth, I have heard the old flathead 8 in Cadillac was also

Great Car and great video ... If you want , look at my little road trip with my 1977 vintage car ...

Love your car. My wife and I always wanted a 1939 Parkard 120 Convertible. I have been on this road many times and it is always a fun ride. My son just bought a new Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 392 Wide Body. He, his twin and I took it from Monterey to Morro Bay about two weeks ago.. First time I've done it at warp speed. We stopped and took a lot of pictures and videos. One going through the tunnel you went through as well as crossing the Bixby Bridge. I see you stopped at Madonna Inn. My wife and I frequent the restaurant. It is one of our favorites.

Beautiful car, beautiful. I also own a Packard, though mine is a 1955 Clipper Constellation. I am very familiar with the 1939 120 -- a friend of mine in Staunton, VA owns a 120 convertible sedan. That car drives like a dream and I love riding in it. You are doing the right thing by driving your car. You find the kinks and fix them and you're back on the road. I love driving my '55 and regularly go on Packard tours. The oldest one I've ever ridden in is a 1920 Twin Six (V-12) roadster. That car is a real hoot! I am going to send this to a few of mine friends in the Old Dominion Packard Club. They will really enjoy it. Also, it is very satisfying to see a young man like you behind the wheel of this excellent. You need to convince all of your friends to go out and buy a Packard. After all, any Packard will get better gas mileage than a Tesla, right?!!

Nice video of a outstanding car. I support LBGTQ.

I would be scared to death of break fade but what a nice trip 👍

What a beautiful car. I'm glad you like to drive it. You look happy. I've taken my '53 Clipper DeLuxe from Sonoma County to Eureka and back, and to the Gold Country and back. Old cars are meant to be enjoyed.

Loved it! You guys have a beautiful love child that you're not afraid to drive. I won't have anything that I won't drive (unless it's broken down in the back yard!)

To see this car brings back such great memories. My dad had a car exactly like this, except it was blue in color. This car mechanically was unbelievably reliable, and drove like a dream. I called it a "mobster car" because it sat so high. My dad was a Packard man, and if they were around today, I would own them as well. He had a few Packard's in his life. My dad bought his 1939 in the year 1959, from a banker, who only drove it 10,000 miles in 20 years. He lived in Long beach, California and just walked from his apartment to work. He was getting rid of the car, because the landlord was upping the rent $25.00 a month to keep the garage--how about that. My Dad paid $500.00 for the car, and the old guy, gave him a "New Willard Battery" those cars were 6 volt. He said he didn't want it to fail to start, when he picked it up. It had the original factory tires, which wore out quickly due to the 20 years of age. The car ran perfectly, the whole time he owned it. My favorite thing to do, was to wait down the road about 3 blocks, from the house and wait for my dad to come home from work. When he turned the corner, he stopped and I jumped on the running board, and hung onto the door for the quick ride home, the wind and ride felt awesome. This was a daily driver for my Dad. We also took vacation in it--exceeding a 1000 miles--it never let us down. As we all know in the late 50's Packard went out of business. My Dad was concerned about parts, and in the later 60's sold the car again for $500.00. I cried like a baby--I was so crazy about that car. But the great memories will always remain riding in the car. It was my favorite car of all time and still is.

Vacuum wipers! Nice drive down the pch in the rain.

Should I be ashamed, or is there something wrong with me if I'm aroused by an inanimate object? 🤤

Bravo to Packard, the Master Automobile! What a great road car!

Fabulous car, amazing trip. The car and the trip brought back many memories. Thank you!

Awesome! One of these days it'd be cool to drive mine that far!
