- On "My Car Story" we're in Geneva IL at The Geneva Concours d’Elegance on 8-28-16.
We're looking at a 1915 Packard 7 Passenger Touring Model 125 with a V 12 “ Twin Six “ Engine.
The car's Owner is Dave Shadduck. Dave’s had the car since 2015. Dave shared he and his wife wanted to purchase a car for a “Brass Era Tour” and this one meets the requirements to do that. What a beauty.
ENJOY!

Wow, still running great after 100 years. Awesome!
It's just amazing. Lou
Superb and very historic - assembled in the year they were first designed, these really didn't get into production until 1918.
The condition of this car is superb, it was a decade ahead of it's time in almost everything - and it's obviously in the right hands. It has the be the ultimate for any Packard collection - and to an engineer like me more desirable than even the earlier - Brass era cars.... It has the genius of McCauley and Vincient all over it. Great job catching the details - Cheers
Hi Alex, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. Cheers, Lou
Lou, you find the nicest people to share their stories of car ownership! This car and the others in your videos are in good hands! This gentleman looks so good behind the wheel it seems the car was custom built for him. Thank You! Peter Brooks.
Hi Peter, Car people who bring cars to a show are so willing to share, and I'm happy to share what they would like to share :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car, now 106 years old, built back when America built Quality cars, even the Model A Fords were well built for the price.

@@loucostabile Hello Lou, out of all nice cars around i think the one i,d like to own would be a Model A Ford, why, parts are readily available, i like the look of a Model A, I,d probably find some good bits to warm the engine up a little, speed limit is 50kph in most citys 100 on the open road.
Modern cars are BORING they ALL look exactly the same!!!!
SUV,s, if you have one you have seen them ALL!
Park six SUV,s in a row remove badges lights etc cover light openings,
try blind folded to tell which is which, you will Not be able to tell them apart, basic shape on ALL is very much the same!!!!
HATE Electric cars even more, and contrary to what to world currently think Electric Vehicles WILL NOT SAVE OUR PLANET, IF ANYTHING they are causing MORE DAMAGE ( mining ocean floors soon to make MORE batteries, some batteries only last 100 000kms then throw it away buy a new battery pack ) with regards to world pollution have a look at ''flight radar'', global; at ANY given time 365 days 24hr over 500 Jet planes are in sky,s burning jet fuel, alot of jet fuel!! Which can Not be helping emissions!!
Anyway i have gone on long enough, looking forward your next classic car, Barry P.
@@barryphillips7327 you should of seen the automobile shows of the 1940's and 1950's. They had entire sections of 300 automobiles from 1900 to 1920, they had the 1920 to 1930 pavilion section as well. and best yet, the prices were unbelievable. They had a section of perfect condition ones for families that were planning on selling them for a new expensive automobile, and they had a Packard 1908, Tonneaus 1904, Studebaker 1920, Hudson 1918, Nash Rambler 1902, Ford Model N 1905... really just anything you could ask for, for $500 to $800 dollars only. I think the most expensive was a Rolls-Royce 1913 Sedanette- which the vice versa would be happening and people would be selling their 1948 Cadillacs for that one. It was $3,200 on the price. Only about $14,000 today. Modern cars are about 30 to 40,000 for their uncreative disgusting commercial design and no care or effort beside regulations. Computer prison cars.
It just doesn't get any Better than that, does it ! Phenomenal quality and engineering "excellence". Truly, breathtaking. Thank You both for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Hi Barry, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
The "brass era" refers to cars that had solid brass parts. The "nickel era" cars had nickel plated brass. "Chrome era' cars had chromium added to the nickel.

Well, I'm from Europe and Europe was no where when it comes to cars from that era... At least Europe didn't have cars like this...
WOW That car is awesome :)
Hi Michael, High praise :-) Lou
I had the pleasure of towing one to the 1993 San Diego Concourse at Harbor Village. Beautiful car, all original, never been restored. I'll never forget that car. My first antique transport, as a young tow truck driver.
Hi Davis Wallick, Sounds like wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing, Lou
what a contrast to the disposable nature of cars today compared to the indestructible construction of a car like this...really drives home the old adage: they dont make `em like they used to! Great video!
Good point regarding "they don't make them like they used to". Thank you for viewing and leaving a wonderful comment, it is appreciated, Lou

How lucky
Yes, lucky.
101 year old😱 still running

I always thought the Jan 1, 1916 cutoff was stupid. Every company tooled up for new model years in the summer so cutoff should be summer of 1915. This car is not a brass era car.
Hi Abcde, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this RUclips Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
@@loucostabile My car was made in 1916 but Buick called it a 1917 model. Check out my vidoes.
My FAthers Packard was Self Greasing...
Impressive.
