1941 Packard 120 4 door sedan

A beautiful example! Because the original video possessed music, I substituted my own soundtrack. We'll see how this experiment goes!

@wardawg07 Hey, Warren! I have to agree...these are pretty rare cars, methinks!

Thanks! :) Jack

Wonderful detail on this Packard, right down to the red caps on the valve stems. I noticed that there is a push button radio. That would have been costly back then. The 120s would have been priced to compete with Oldsmobile and Buick. Even though this is a junior Packard that grill makes it look every bit as impressive as the senior 160 line. It sure would be fun to go for a spin in it.

@cheddyrod Hey, Chester! Thanks...I like to dwell on the detail with these deluxe cars! Yeah, the pushbutton radio was definitely an upscale item, as was a signal seeking radio in the 50's. Today we take that for granted! Packard's identity was so tied to that grille that I think it was their undoing...when the cars got lower and couldn't support that high grille stylewise, Packard was in a quandry. I don't think they really came up with anything that matched the status!

Thanks! :) Jack

@JesseAndMike Hey, guys! Well, I did what I had to do....this should silence the record companies...no music to be heard...maybe I should copyright my voice! LOL!

Thanks! :D Jack

Jack, Packards were truly beautiful. Thank you very much for making this video.

As has been mentioned, this type of narration is very nice. It is easy to hear, and the background noise is not as loud as it is in the some of the on-location recordings.
