I have a 1939 LaSalle and I’ve put 400 miles on it in the past few months. I’m 27 and trying to keep at least one old car alive. Love your video, and glad I found it!
CecilDaBomb1117 heh, yeah, that’s definitely a way to describe it. Mostly soothing, though! There’s really nothing quite like a quiet, winding road and this car in top gear. It’s hard not to grin from ear to ear!
I have the same car. Your a good driver. So many people rev them out too much . You great on changing gears also. Would have been better vid if you showed us all around the car as well.cheers from australia
I really enjoyed this video though would have been nice to see the outside of the car. I have driven many pre-war vehicles that is world war II pretty war. Someone needs to teach the driver how to shift the transmission without grinding the gears which will damage them over time. I believe Packard got synchronized second and third gear in 29. Of course his synchronizers could be shot but even if they are skillful double clutching will stop that grinding. And when slowing down even most non-synchronized transmissions will allow you to drop in the first gear as long as you drop in at 1 to 2 miles an hour. Listening to him constantly grinding the gears was painful to somebody who cares about the mechanics of these wonderful old automobiles. And this was a really great running starting braking and driving Packard. I own four vehicles from the world war II or pre-war era and almost never grind the gears on any of them. But many people don't know how or don't care, which they should. But I still enjoyed the video.!
What sort of top speed do you get, and what is it good for cruising at? 0-60 by Christmas? I hear mpg isn't too bad. But forget all that, it's all about the time machine experience!
Tony Brown I’ve only driven it up to about 55 mph, but I’m sure it could go a bit faster. Happy cruising speed is in the neighborhood of 45. It takes a while to get up To speed, maybe 15 seconds to get to 50. It gets about 8 mpg, but it’s really more about the smiles per gallon!
@@davidniescior4784 I read the model T got quite a lot of mpg. But yep a mile-a-minute was a brag back in those days. It's all about the nostalgia, and besides, back then they didn't have the highway network as of today, so you didn't get the chance to go too fast I'd imagine. I did 165mph on a german autobahn once, didn't feel too crazy actually hahaha.

Thanks for letting us join the ride on the passenger seat - it was wonderful to watch!
Thank you for posting this!
Love the sound of old Packards!!
What an absolute pleasure it was to watch and listen to this. Glorious car!
A car .the size of a truck . Absolutely love it!
Seems both soothing and aggravating to drive

Nice drive, I have a 1929 633 Club Sedan that appears on a couple of Packard FB pages. Looks like a nice fun car to drive.
Pausing long enough when double clutching cold? One of the cars I learned to drive in was our Packard.
Nice video man I love your driving videos I just subscribed
The best cars ever built...

Bro ever heard of double clutching ?
Здесь обязательно двойной выжим
What's the comfy cruising speed for this thing? Looks nice!

Ask the man who owns one!
👍
Drivers of old cars should learn to shift without GRINDING the gears!
