I had to laugh when she called the Packard a Cadillac wanna be... LoL 😀. When at the time Cadillac was trying to keep up with Packard . Packard set the standard for luxury as well reliability.
I was at a slower drag race once. When the Studebaker Drivers Club had its International meet in Charlotte, NC we had an officially unofficial drag race at a local stip. One of the Studebakers set a record at the track... for the slowest speed ever recorded. The truck was a freshly restored 47 M series pickup with a Champion 170 cid flathead six.
I owned a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel. I drag raced another VW Rabbit diesel right in the middle of downtown Philadelphia, and no one except the two of us even knew what was happening. :-)
Fantastic. I have a question though.. On the steering wheel hub, there are two levers. One is obviously the lights, but the other one.. "Throttle: Open / Close".. was this some kind of governor? Or maybe cruise control?
Unfortunately neither of these people know how to drive or are scared to death to hurt their cars. I worked at a classic car museum in the 1980's, I had the good fortune to drive a 1931 V-16 Cadillac sedan on several occasions, and I can assure you, it can be shifted with relative ease, not much different than any other car of its time, and if you dump the clutch and floor that sucker (I was a teenager then) the car gains speed nicely - MUCH faster than what you see here. Ditto that for early 1930's Packard 8's. These two just don't want to risk getting dirt into the inner fenders or neither of them know how to drive.
Sounds like a Petro farm tractor. Ford N series, Massy Fergison. The V8 Ford car engine is what you want to hear. These are all made like flathead inline tractor engine. The v16 is 2 strait 8 motors basically. Side by side . A Deusenburg has a nice sound if it's a Super Charged one.
It was the Cadilac that was the Packard wanabe, THAT'S why they came out with BOTH A 12 & A 16 cylinder engine in 1929 as PACKARD had a 12 in 1916, ALSO the 16 was NEVER built for SPEED BUT custom body CRUISING power!!!!! It was the SHORTER, lighter V12 that was the Cadillac "hot-rod"!!!
I don't think this would be the slowest drag race in history. Back in high school (circa 1976) I was involved in a drag race: Chevette vs Astro? (the Pontiac equivalent). It wasn't very exciting - 2 4 cylinder automatics ...
i don't know the Clayton's bank account balance, but IF they're wealthy they've earned EVERY penny. that Cadillac might bring hundreds of thousands at a Sotheby's auction, but think of the parts and labor bill he ran up restoring it to it's former glory. that's thousands of hours labor and you just don't get the parts at your local parts store. if you need a piece, you have to make it.

@Hal McAdams with heavy land yachts like those you need all the help you can get and a downhill slope is just the ticket... lol

why do you even have to mention "Rich" as if thats a bad thing or in a condescending manner? Maybe I'm just sensitive regarding such nonsense because I get called "rich" all the time because I'm the only one in our entire trailer park that has a double wide trailer with the full wall to wall shag carpet option and a washing machine inside and not on the side porch.

Back in the day, when you had money you bought a Packard.
I had to laugh when she called the Packard a Cadillac wanna be... LoL 😀. When at the time Cadillac was trying to keep up with Packard .

I agree. I think Packard as the gold standard of American car manufacturing. I wish I was around during their heyday
I always thought that the Cadillac V16 could go really fast but that was before i learned it was made more for smoothness than power.

My great grand daddy ran whiskey in a Packard. He chose the larger motor though, he liked out running anything else on the road.
background music drowning the engines no no no
I have always been in love with the Cad 16 since I first saw one in 55.
She looks great driving that car. Very pretty and so is the car. Oh, such drama. I'd be so thrilled to have either one. Keep em shiney guys.
Great cars and great hosts, love it !
I love them very old vintage cars. The ending was funny.
How much horsepower do the vehicles produce @ the flywheel & @ the hubs? How much torque do the vehicles produce?
I owned a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel. I drag raced another VW Rabbit diesel right in the middle of downtown Philadelphia, and no one except the two of us even knew what was happening. :-)
That was fun ! Like to see a V12 Packard against the later sv Cadillac V16 , a closer match I think ( but I'd still pick the Packard to win )
Fantastic. I have a question though.. On the steering wheel hub, there are two levers. One is obviously the lights, but the other one.. "Throttle: Open / Close".. was this some kind of governor? Or maybe cruise control?
Idle adjustment. Good guess.
nice car man i'd love to know more about that motor and technology behind it
I bet a lot of gangsters bought that caddy back then.
Wow I would love to race one of those cars but my personal favorite is the Cadillac also what swing soundtracks did you use?
I use about 5 different sites with free music. I cannot remember where this track came from.
He could've won against the hellcat with his MGB.
The revised challenge:
A Foot race, while PUSHING your chosen car
Wow, what a life...beautiful cars...
you editing and all the scenes are really professionally ,,, great looking couple good luck
Thank you so much!!
I'd want both
i imagine a '34 Packard Twelve would have utterly humiliated the Cadillac Series 452.
Very enjoyable video. Where else can you see 70 year old cars drag racing. And Jennifer is a looker too :-)
Great episode!
Thanks we had fun filming it.

Double clutch ..
I think you could start that V16 Cadillac off in high gear and still get it rolling more quickly.
Great videos! But please let us hear the original car and engine sounds!!!!! :)

Que hermosos vehiculos y por sobre todo la dama es muy muy hermosa!!!!!!
Million dollar drag race!
Jennifer could easily be a Connie Britton impersonator! Cheers!
I don't understand why the Cadillac was so slow to shift. Wouldn't double clutching help to shift it faster ?
Still needs to be rev matched without any synchros. With some practice I bet she could do better.
You brought a Micky Ds plastic spork to a gun fight.
Very enjoyable video ..
I wish I had that Packard
Why didn’t you put a Packard twin 6 up against the V12
Great premise for a vid
Pretty cool video....got me smiling.....😁
Awesome 😎
More like brought a butterknife to a tank fight
What a beutiful Looking woman..
And she knows her cars... Gonna find a old car just to race with her...
FREEDOM IN CARS...
Hah :D this has to be the slowest drag race! But it was awesome!
Is the Caddy in good enough condition to show the engine? You folks keep saying 16 cylinders but we don't get to see it???
See my channel for the video on the engine talk.

Huh. Nice trophy ol lady
I was hoping she would show up in a Jaguar XK120 :-).
She probably will. Stay tuned.
The acting is worse than a typical porn movie...nice cars though.
brooks weiss couldn't agree more 😂
Yeah. Two "movie critics" who watch porn movies for the "acting". You bet.
He was hoping she would pick the roller skate, yeah right.
Packard always had the fastest stock cars on the road.
Старые Американские Автомобили это произведение автомобильного искусства
Inb4 the MG has a LS7
He looks like George Straight
two rich people trying to entertain themselves, I'd rather just see the cars
Yup nothing like a silent drag race. Excellent cars but it was just 2 cars driving near each other far below what they could safety be performing.

That's kind of what i was thinkin', but they're both cool old cars. I'm jealous, not, My Grandpa just had a Ford.
I could teach Jennifer how to double clutch ..
No wonder guy is so successful a good woman will do that for you
Carro do manda chuva
Yeah I know it was fake but it was still great seeing these beautiful cars in action.
I paused the video. yep wedding ring dag nab it!
If you can't be bothered to correct the captioning, then please just don't bother to put it there.
I'll take the Packard
Me too
Can you say "corny"?
Packard better cadillac
Hellcats and Demons are not american muscle cars. They are made in Canada.
Hum, Last time I checked- Canada is STILL on the North American Continent..😂😎
By an Italian company.
Please take some acting lessons ;-)
This is soooo corny lmao
I agree but it was corny in a fun lighthearted way... enjoyable to watch and poke fun at ..in a fun way... they seem like good people.
Not funny
I'd want both
