WOW !!! At 0:59 the car actually started, and it was so silent running, I thought that when they started rolling, they were being pushed by a couple of guys helping out, because the engine failed to start. Talk about quiet !! I had to turn up the volume twice to hear the engine. That is remarkable, and the V-12 is not only quiet, but incredibly smooth running, like a fine Swiss watch. Small pistons, but plenty of them makes for quiet, smooth running. This beautiful old girl deserves a new battery !!!

What a work of ART! Looks like a smooth shifter! . Around 1971, I knew an old upholsterer that did great leather roll and tuck. I used to go hang out at his shop which was in his garage down the block. One day, He pulls up in front of my house just to give me a ride in a 1910 REO open air touring car. I bet the running boards were at least a foot off the ground. He took my dog and me around the block. Coolest old car experience I ever had, God Bless him! Thanks for this! Was once the greatest American car built. Very popular for Kings and Queens and forreign dignitaries.

Let haters hate. This car is beautifull. Give me this over an Escalade or 300 anyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

anyone who turns down a ride in a car like this is crazy....once in a lifetime opportunity.....

These cars were designed to run fast all day on gravel highways in comfort. Granddad was a Packard man. He and is siblings were from the 19th century. When dad was a boy they would run route 23 from Columbus Ohio to upstate Michigan 70 mph on gravel like it was nothing.

Packard was always one of my favorite cars.I owned a 1955 Clipped but we were young &dident look to the future.😎

Isn't that transmission a wonderful shifting example of Packard quality ? I would have liked to have seen much more, especially the engine. but, I'm happy to have seen this much. Thanks for the video. My family had a 1937 Packard Six, bought from an older Gentleman back in the 1950's era. It was almost new then, with paper wrappers still on the sun visors and the back seat, apparently never sat on. I would love too see one of these models again.

Now that's how I remember our Packard sounding. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.

I didn't think it started! Must be soo smooth running. Just amazing....

Smooth as silk as befitting one of America's premier automobile manufacturers.

How awesome it would be to drive this beautiful piece of machinery. 👍

Wow, purrs like a kitten. Nice quiet, smooth ride.

Packard: probably my favorite automobile made in America! I remember them well from my childhood. To me, they had more class than Cadillac.

TO the 36 people who disliked this video of rolling sculpture, your view point is irrelevant and you have no soul. I would much rather have this car than a modern Cadillac or a brick 300. This is a vehicle that exudes class and presence without being flashy.

Did you hear that??! I didn't think so. Damn! Sweet!!!

Very beautiful car, it defines class

One word: Superb!

Now that's what i Call a Car I would Love to have the Honors to ride in that Beautiful Car

80 years, Even by today's highest prestige standards this vintage of cars are far more luxurious than anything yet to come. No rattles; little or no road noise; quiet smooth shifting and a engine and exhaust you can barely hear if at all.

my family had a 1937 packard limo we sold in the 60ties..awesome car

Can't imagine what a blast that is too drive. Pay no mind to haters or jealousy that car is gorgeous just the way it is. Also driving that car carefully and babied won't harm it. You don't hotrod a car like this. Sure take it on the highway now and then for exercise but to ride it pedal to the medal lol Some people have no sense or class

The fact that I had to turn the volume up to hear the motor running is incredible.

Absolutely stunning!!!

I'm amazed at the workmanship .

I believe a very, very similar vehicle was featured in the film "After the Thin Man", but I'm not sure if it came out in 36 or 37, but the care is lovely nonetheless. I remember seeing it on screen and wanting to ride in one! (Myrna Loy optional lol )

God, what a monster!

just a beautiful beautiful car and art in motion

Haha realy funny...but a nice beautiful car! Just a piece of art on wheels!

A work of art

What a great automobile! And the view down that long hood is amazing. It would also be interesting to know what was heard over that radio over the years.

Looks like the convertible version of the model 1507 v12 club sedan rather than say a model 120 (v8) convertible. Very nice car here, very rare anymore.

now that car is a work of art. to bad they haven't made them like that in decades. sure would have liked getting a look at the engine.

Glorious automobile. Just that short ride saw that V12, pushing 3 tons, use up 2 1/2 gallons of gasoline! Ah, the price of ego!

Now THAT is a Grand Vehicle

AMERICA'S ROLLS ROYCE !!!

Fantastic

Reminds me of a Prius..... man what ever happened to design in modern automobiles.... this is beauty and class

Beautiful Car 👍

As much as I like watching the driving of this epic motorcar, I woulda sat in the back for the full phaeton experience! Open car motoring with maximum separation form the mechanicals up front!

Meant to be driven fast not babied like in the video there's a reason why Gar Wood got over 2,000hp out of the Packard V12's and internally stock up to 800hp which was over double the hp when he started and never had a problem they were indestructible. Then Packard reverse engineered those engines to develop the pt boat motor.

Beautiful !!!

Packard advertising campaign? Simple. “Ask the man who owns one”.

Nice ride for cruising El Segundo!

Magnificent

Just imagine, that car is going to still be around when we are all gone. I seriously doubt there are any one-owner 1937 Packards in existence. Which begs the question how long will these cars last? How many owners will that car have it it's lifetime?

Very beautiful automobile, my dream car is a 1931 Mercedes 770 k

super bravo pierrot paris

Great video

The crankshaft weighs more than my wife 135lbs as I recall on a Packard v12 .

Beautiful car. I can see Carol Lombard tooling around town in that monster. Where would you like to go? How bout around the block. Haha.

Beauty

wife: How much do you love me? 1937 Packard V12 has entered the chat.

LOVELY CAR! ddrrroooolll

A very nice ride indeed.

A GRAND twin six running like a train. Its best to get these up to 3rd as soon as possible Its all about TORQUE.

Pure beauty

What beauty

Nice car

Damn that's nice.

If you came to El Segundo, CA, you might be able to drive it. It's the only car museum I know of that lets people drive the cars around. I believe just Saturday and Sunday.

Great vedio and the car too

King solomons mines with Stewart granger and Deborah Kerr

awesome

King solomons mine starring Stewart granger and Deborah kerr

Thanks for the video, but I wish you would have talked about the car some.

Hmm what a ride.

The cameraman has the personality of a rock.

No not around block unless 300 mile trip

5:23 Hey look, another old car up there, (5:55) and another one!

I have ONE" IT TAKES 2to 3 hundred thousands to get it like that

Hermoso Auto 😊 lo venden 😄 y ahun esta disponible ☺️?

Nice video, but I needed to take Dramamine ...

Looks like something the Clampetts would drive

👍

American engineering no wonder British copied the whole suspension from Packard 😄on Rolls Royce but that didn't stop them from rusting badly.

Look at the name plate under the hoods

instrument panel are si nuce

❣😍

I would like to know where this company is located, I would like to visit it sometime.

You drove this 6 L v12 car with 30-40 km/h. Hell we know it can do that. A van for muffins also can. Why don't you show what is it able to do on the highway ?! And these are from the most endurable engines. That requres to push the pedal of the gas to the limit.

WECH THE Y WOOD BRING THES COOL CARS VACK .

like 👍 👍

Can u donated car to me I love soo much this type cars

Fantastic car. What a 'Stiff' the guy with the camera is......too bad

I'm not saying you should be in frock and top hat when driving such a beaut', but you could at least wear a suit, to mark the event if nothing more. Those jeans and sneakers really don't fit.
