Yeah buddy congratulations =)
Well done 😉👏👏👏
@@What.its.like. Wow! I finally get to have my name put up in lights. Well sort of anyways. But it's a good feeling for sure!
I was gonna say I think this is your first one isn’t it
@@What.its.like. It sure is. Now I can retire happy having made the grade. 🙂
Packard offered A/C 1939-1941. It cost $274 ($4,692.12 in 2014 dollars). Cadillac installed about 300 units in 1941.
The 1953 Chrysler Imperial was the first production car in twelve years to offer air conditioning, following tentative experiments by Packard in 1940 and Cadillac in 1941. In actually installing optional Airtemp air conditioning units to its Imperials in 1953, Chrysler beat Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile, who added it as an option later that year. The Pontiac Star Chief offered the first modern "underhood" design in 1954. By 1960, air conditioning was a common dealer option and was installed in 20 percent of all automobiles on American roads.
Airtemp was more sophisticated and efficient than the complicated rival air conditioners of 1953. It recirculated, rather than merely cooled, the air inside the vehicle, and it was also the highest capacity unit available on an automobile. It was also simple to operate, with a single switch on the dashboard marked with low, medium, and high positions, which the driver selected as desired. The system was capable of cooling a Chrysler from 120 degrees to 85 degrees in about two minutes, and of completely eliminating humidity, dust, pollen and tobacco smoke at the same time. Since it relied on fresh air, and drew in sixty percent more of it than any contemporary system, Airtemp avoided the staleness associated with automotive air conditioning at the time. It was silent and unobtrusive. Instead of plastic tubes mounted on the package shelf as on GM and on other cars, small ducts directed cool air toward the ceiling of the car where it filtered down around the passengers instead of blowing directly on them, a feature that modern cars have lost.
The 1954 Nash Ambassador was the first American automobile to have a front-end, fully integrated heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. Nash-Kelvinator corporation used its experience in refrigeration to introduce the automobile industry's first compact and affordable, single-unit heating and air conditioning system as an option on Nash models. This was the first A/C system with controls on the dash and a compressor with an electric clutch. At $345 it was the lowest cost A/C on the market. Most competing systems used an evaporator in the car's trunk to deliver cold air through rear parcel shelf vents.
In 1954 General Motors offered air conditioning on Pontiacs with a straight-eight engine.
In 1964 Cadillac offered "Comfort Control", a completely automatic heating and cooling system set by dial thermostat.
In 1960 20% of all cars in the U.S. had air-conditioning.
By 1969 54% of all cars in the U.S. had air-conditioning.
Thank you so much for sharing all of that information and insight greatly appreciate it
Dang, that's a real education on automotive A/C.
When I was a kid, only "rich people" had A/C in their cars. The first car with A/C I ever owned was an '84 Mustang GT.
@@josephgaviota In Florida A/C is important!!! Heck, I still have about 20lbs of R-12 in my garage!
@@Matt_from_Florida Matt, I'm guessing those cans of R12 are VERY EXPENSIVE now !! I don't know if you can even buy them at all in Calif.
Not trying to be a "one-upper," but I can remember as a kid sitting in class, sweat dripping from my face onto my papers. In Sept. it'd be 80º+ in the classrooms.
@@josephgaviota I think selling R12 is illegal now in the US. Often wondered if they'd send me to the Federal joint if I ever sold the two cans I got left, in a pod with bank robbers & drug gangsters. 😂
These were excellent automobiles. Very well built and reliable.
Totally agree
What a beauty! It's interesting to me that Packard made a Business Coupe, and it must be rare. So it's great you were able to find one to feature.
I wasn’t expecting to see it there and I thought one of the guys at the museum finally bought a Packard because it was behind the Windsor white prince.. it was the nicest 110 I have ever seen
I really appreciate your videos about the 1930s and 1940s Packards. When I was growing up my dad told me that his father (who died in 1943) had worked for Packard as a model maker. It is neat to see cars my grandfather may have modeled. After my grandfather's death, because my grandmother did not drive, and an older uncle was serving in the Navy, my dad said he learned to drive the family's 1937 Packard at age 14. My dad passed away in 1972, and we never had a chance to discuss the subject in detail. Until seeing your videos, I was under the impression that Packard was a luxury brand, and wondered how my grandparents could afford one. Seeing the low-priced Packards in your videos has answered that question.

Thank you so much for sharing that story =) glad you dig this channel
Cool story, thanks!
Thanks for this. My neighbor (RIP Harry) had a ‘37 120 business coupe with a beautifully smooth straight 8 that I drove a few times back the 90s. Operating the ‘3 on the tree’ was an experience though!
Love three on the tree thank you for sharing that memory with us =)
37 115C would be first
All Packards will work for me 😉❤️❤️
Damn fine restoration on that beautiful car 😍 ...
Great Episode ... Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
I love the 37 115 c i’ve got to witness one earlier this year and I was absolutely blown away by it but they wanted a fortune for it.. it’s crazy what people want for those I’m serious you could get a 37 super eight further same money if not cheaper it just doesn’t make sense..
Glad you dig this episode =)
@@What.its.like. Balance and purporting 8s in shorter wheel bases are nose heavy like an opera coupe .. Fenders are to long and straighter not as curved 🤔..
Very few get it right?? Porsche is one of the exceptions all 911s and it's variations look fantastic 🤔..
Enjoy ✌️🤠
It is an exquisite looking automobile! I can imagine it would be a great drive! I'd definitely pick this both times! 😎
Hoping to drive a packard next year =)
WYR 1: All of them.
WYR 2: All of them.
I love old Packards.
Sweet choices
I love packards as well
I have a friend who owned a '41 Packard 110 business coupe. I rode in it several times. Very smooth.
WYR #1: 1941 Buick.
WYR #2: 1941 Packard 110.
I recall my parents had friends and the husband was an antique car nut long before it became fashionable! In the late sixties he showed up in a 1933 Packard straight eight roadster with a rumble seat. How cool! I got to ride in the rumble seat. I remember how smooth and powerful the car was.
Awesome this is definitely one of those vehicles that I really want to drive one day.. it’s really cool it’s column shift =)
Great looking car. Any Packard of that era is a work of art.
Totally agree =)
Not 1 of my favorite years for Packards, but the paint, fit & finish are excellent 👌!
Another winner, Jay! Too bad all those patrician Packard fans got their noses out of joint when Packard started producing lower priced cars in order to survive the depression. They should have been happy that Packard DID survive. If those people weren't all dead now, I'd give em a piece of my mind! These Business Coupes provided a classy way for traveling salespeople to carry samples and stock. If you ever get a '54 Packard, you'll find a drawer for a glove box. The under-hood lamp with an on/off switch is a thoughtful touch, true luxury even if you're working on the engine. WYR: 1. Buick for sentimental reasons 2. The 37
Awesome choices thank you so much for sharing that information I did not know that they had a glove box drawer and 54 super interesting
Thanks for all amazing car videos this year. Happy New Year Jay! 🌠
Thank you so much for watching =) happy new year
Hi Jay!: Must have been nice, in the day, to enjoy your bowl of Cheeri Oats, hop into your Packard 110 and head off for work!! What a NICE car! And as you pointed out, this was the CHEAP Packard! Major quality, GOOD looks, Smoothness and Reliability! What else could you want? And the six produced a hundred horsepower! Not a barn burner, but the Ford V-8 produced around the same horsepower, maybe a little less. I just LOVE coupes! So sporty! That car would be one I would own If I had the means and the storage area for one! NICE! WYR's this time SUPER Easy PACKARD for both! Would take ANY of the #2 Packards!! They are ALL NICE! Can you imagine a modern day premium brand putting out a QUALITY car for $19,000? NO WAY they would or could do it!
Totally agree with everything that you said it would be like Rolls-Royce offering a $20,000 car now it would never happen I really want to drive one of these I heard that they’re really fun to drive great choices too by the way I hope you had a merry Christmas
Lovely Packard, complements the big Packards well like the series 40/Special complements Buick. Never bought the theory that the 110-120 cheapened the Packard brand. this car is as fine as the expensive Packards would love to own one of these as a collector car for the.First pick the second pick 39 Packard 115-C.
Plus these don’t have nearly the footprint as some of the bigger Packards I would love to get a 1937 through 1938 well it really doesn’t matter six-cylinder Packard either a two-door sedan or a four-door sedan and use it.. The only modification I would make is put a two speed rear end in it to get better gas mileage
Someone could have made a few bucks selling "160" badges to replace the 110s' & 120s'
@@What.its.like. Wish you well on finding one, I am sure you will find one eventually with some individuals, and museums selling their collections here and there, after all Hoovie just snagged a nice Chrysler Town and Country convertible from a museum for a fair price, so I'm sure a Packard will come up down the line.
@@billolsen4360 Read rumors of that happening, wouldn't be hard to do.
Thanks to Canton Classic Auto Museum for allowing you the deep access 👍 I like the new grille/ front end treatment, a far more 'modern' look. The bumper is awesome especially coupled with the valance panel closing the body-bumper gap. I also like the near-equal size front and rear fenders which balances out the look better. Inside, the dash is also a more modern touch, sleeker than round instruments. The factory compass is a really nice touch. The evolution of 'art deco' into 'streamline' styling is evident in the parallel stepped-line trim motif. The difference in the door handles is that only one locks from the outside. Not sure this would be a 'business coupe' as those almost always had no divider between cabin and trunk. This is an elegant and classy car, especially for a base model! And WYR has to be Packard and the 41 110, just a beautiful car all-around.
Totally agree I have to get better at describing things/articulation so thank you so much for that description I really appreciate it awesome choice too =)
This car even looks better in person
The attention to detail and elegance of almost any Packard never fails to amaze . I love the roof line of the 41 but I’ll take any of them .
Love packards it sucks they are getting lost to time
@@What.its.like. not lost to time on my book . LOL!
Nice Packard! You noted the ignition coil mounting, which is unusual, but it also features an armoured cable, which is an anti theft device to prevent hot wiring. Note also that the bit between steering wheel and box is the steering column. A rack is a component of a rack and pinion steering system. Cheers.
This Business Coupe may be the basement entry level Packard, but first and foremost it is a Packard. Seeing a 41-42 can sometimes evoke the Russian copy ZIS which extended this design into the 50's. It's very ironic that because Packard smartly survived the Depression by offering less expensive models which in turn diluted the brand which later destroyed it's leading legendary luxury status. Druthers: 41 Packard.
They lost their way after the depression market was totally different before the war and when they did start making a killer car ( Packard Caribbean) it was too late
Gorgeous car!
That '41 Packard is one sweet car!❤
Thank you for sharing 👍😊
Thank you so much for watching
What can I say? Just a work of body styling art. Just does not get any better at any price. 😊
Totally agree =)
Just more proof of how today's prices for everything is so out of whack. The top-of-the-line Packard sold for the equivalent of $120K, which these days is essentially the starting point for 'ultra' luxury vehicles. Even more dramatic is the fact Packard would have competed with Rolls Royces, and the equivalent Rolls Royce today would be at least $400K, or nearly four times what it would have been in 1941 reverse-adjusted for inflation.
I did a packard Darin a while back but I don’t remember what the equivalent was I think it was more reasonable than $100,000..
Prices are high today because of a multiple of different reasons you have to remember when you bought a car back then everything was optional now they give you a lot of that stuff standard plus ABS traction control a bunch of BS computer stuff airbag seat belts.. But the real reason why cars are so expensive is because people keep buying them if people stop buying cars at the ridiculous prices that they are the price would come down.. We live in a world now that people just can’t wait for anything when the pandemic was going on people buying cars $50,000 over sticker man what a stupid time I would never pay over sticker for a car that’s just wasting throwing money away.. But I’m totally with you we need deflation not inflation
@@What.its.like. Yup, when even top-of-the-line pickup trucks reach six figures you know it's time for a change!
You’re hilarious, there is nothing petite about this Packard. My first pick is the Buick, second Packard. I did know the song. 👍☺️
Petite for packard they are usually huge =) sweet choices
Wow! That's one of the most pristine cars I've seen yet on this channel. I was amazed how aesthetically pleasing this car is for its price at the time. It must've been one of the best value propositions of '41. I think even my steelworker grandpa could've afforded one.
This car is the antithesis of the drab and cheap looking Cadillac Cimarrons of the 80s, which are easily mistaken for Chevys.
I saw this car sitting in the back and was like no way lol I’m a huge Packard fan in hoping to drive one this year =) I love these basement packards sometimes you want to go to town without a parade (like if you drive a 12 into town now they look better than any modern day equivalent
@@What.its.like. Yeah, they sure do!
That looks superb. What a piece of art.
Totally agree
I loved this video. What a beautiful car. WYR #1 Packard by far, #2 1939 Packard Six. The front of the '41 reminds me of a '39 Lasalle so I like the '39 a little better. But WYR #2 is sort of like asking which $100 bill I like better. Nice job on the pedal box and under hood lighting!
=) awesome glad you dig this video
Thats quite spectacular. All the detail. And this car in particular is extremely nice ! 👌 Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
The 39! All day long.
Thanks Jay, Another fine video.
Glad you dig this one =) I love packards
@16:47 - I bet that's exactly how it looked driving down the road in 1941!
A car in front of the Packard from 1929 with a car from 1926 on the left hand side with a mid 1930's fire truck on the far right with a few 1930's cars driving through an intersection infront of the 1929 and 1926 cars.
Yeah it was pretty close the the Windsor white prince 1929 which belongs to one of the guys at Canton Auto Museum and I was like did Howard finally get a Packard he’s always wanted one but the 110 belongs to somebody else it was a super stellar car when I saw it sitting back there I was like yup definitely doing that one =)
@@What.its.like. It will be cool to see it!
OK. I'm not going to get picky-yun here. All three models are just absolutely the best. So my pick would be all three, because their trim makes them. If I had to choose one, it would be the '41. Thank Jay.
Well done video with the Packard advertisement too, for a beauty of a car. . . :>/
=)
Another super video!
Thank you glad you dig this one I really wanted to get this one done yesterday for Christmas but it didn’t happen
The first TV station to have regular daily broadcasts was WNBT TV ch.4 on July 1, 1941 later renamed WNBC TV. 😊
Packard, packed with styke.
=) crazy for a base model this one had a lot of accessories
Neat. Those a/c units took up half the trunk!
It seems any new technology is always "big" at the start, and putting it in the trunk is the only way to go.
I remember my boss having a "car phone" and it had a bunch of electronics in the trunk.
Early CD players were in the trunk, too--at least the multi-disc ones.
Maybe that's why they call it "the next big thing!" (kidding; well kind of)
@@josephgaviota Yep.
The Packard 110 business Coupe for 1939,1940, and 1941 are the best looking Packards ever. The base shape was nothing special but the art deco details and interior details were a cut above.
Outstanding as always! I was a little concerned with the welding near the data plate. Regardless, stunning example of a Packard. WYR - first one, the Packard, second choice would the 1937. Thank you ~ Chuck
=)
Fabulous car. Thanks for showing. Your videos are always fun and informative!
=) thank you so much I try to make these as if you were looking at buying these cars I try to shoot as many angles as possible for people restoring these cars like where does the trim go.. glad you dig this channel =)
Well done, sir! @@What.its.like.
Beautiful car
What a beauty
What a pretty and practical car. It seems like a good value. I would have bought one.
Right there with you I still can’t believe how much they cost now I was like yeah I could pick one of these up for 10-15 grand... nope well anything is possible but it be hard to find one in great condition at that price
I can’t believe I could have bought a Packard for under $20k back then. Wow!
In 1937 it was even cheaper.. It was priced just $100 more than a Chevy or a Ford
The 1941Buick and the 1941 Packard.
These had to be a chore to keep waxed! Happy New Years Jay!
Happy new year =)
That's why couples had lots of kids back then! That was one of my jobs, taking the wax off. Thought it was like being in the state pen, at hard labor.
I like the Buick.
Sweet =)
For WYR, it would be the Packard first scenario, the '37 Packard the second scenario.
I really like this car. Those front and rear bumper aprons add a nice touch. Nothing loud and gaudy about the trim. It's a curiosity why there are two different door handles,,, maybe one of them was replaced at some point?
Even though it's a business coupe, I wonder if a rear seat was an option? It almost looks like there's enough room.
Great choices I was thinking the same thing and other business coupes that I’ve been in the rear section is a lot smaller
Another wonderful car Jay thank you. Packards in my opinion were not only beautiful but so well built, real quality not tacky chrome trinkets just take the gas filler door im sure 2 bolts would have been fine for attaching it but Packard used 3 and they were chrome finished at that I’m sure driving one of these reflects the build quality. For the wyr it’s got to be all Packard so the 41 in the first choice and the 39 in the second choice just so I could cruise with the whole family in style
Great choices I would love to own one of these one day I would use it as my daily driver because to people not familiar with Packard they would think it’s a beautiful hi Classic Car
The owner said it’s very sporty to drive he owns bigger Packards but when he wants to go to town he just drives that one when he wants to make a statement he drives the 12 =)
Jay I'm in love with the 110 it's the most beautiful car I've ever seen you point out the details so good thanks Jay
Thank you so much glad you did this channel as well as this episode it means the world to me.. I would love to own one of these one day as well
The 39 is cooler sort of ! Yep 39 ! Again, can I have mine in dark blue pls Jay ! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
By 41 Packard styling was a year or three out of date - the vertical grille was out, and cars were empasizing width, and were generally a little lower and probably even a trifle more bulbous than Packard (though it too was much more so than the prior generation). Still, if you liked the Classic look, Packard provided that in spades. In reality the Clipper was styling sensation and put everything else to shame. Too bad its run was so abbreviated, though I still think the postwar Clipper derivation was a sharp looking sedan - until the plug ugly pregant elephant rolled out. The hood/grille profile is the classic Packard cusp - used forever and even seen in a rather bastardized form on the 58's. The front doos side trim with the downward triangular termination dates back to LeBaron when it was a custom body shop. Packard saw the trim, liked it, asked if they could use it, and either Dietrich or Hibbard said they could use it, no charge. Became as much of a trademark as the cusp and the red hex. Being a business coupe this does in effect have a second trunk - that's where you put the sample cases. Notice also - 1941 - the early advent of the (automobile deployed) wonder material, 'plastic' - at that time, something of a prestige (certainly modern) item. WYR: 1) Buick, but which one do I get? No matter really, they were all 8s. Now if choice had been the 120, then Packard. 2) the 1941, for its slightly 'custom' look.
Awesome choices thank you so much for all of the information and insight greatly appreciate it Joe =)
I would absolutely choose the ‘41 Packard, make mine the business coupe please.
=)
Hi jay , happy new year ! I’m dealing on a 1950 Packard , $2000 canadian , been parked for almost 50 years . Rust free body , engine , well that is the reason it was parked long time ago . Gonna see if i can get it cheeper . It is going to need a lot of $$ and work , but i’m thinking lol
Those have really started to grow on me what’s the body style what color I’m sure you could find another Packard engine sometimes they come up for sale on marketplace..
Money talks man worst they can say is no have a happy new year as well Dennis
This car, the 6 cylinder 110/115, should never have been sold and badged as a Packard. It destroyed Packard's image of total luxury and made Packard decide to become mainly a producer of mass-produced medium-priced cars. They should have given it a different name. Maybe a revived Winton? Remember, Mr. Winton, (I forget his first name), told James Ward Packard, "If you think you can make a better car, then try". Packard did indeed make a better car, so calling this model Winton and giving it a different grille would have been a smart move.
This car was a crazy just think if rolls Royce Made something for 40 grand now
Jay, I always enjoy your posting and you do them very well and informing us. My only concern is the clove box camera fitting part, as a car enthusiast seeing in past, trying to fit the camera and feel that you can damage and or harm the camera or the patina of the car, please skip that part.
Just love showing how big those glove boxes are... I’m a guy if your date has a purse will it fit in the glove box.. I don’t force anything very careful =)
"Business Coupes" were the company cars of that era. Salesmen Kept their sample cases in the back seat. A Packard Business Coupe would most likely be reserved for senior company officials; not the sales force!

Wow ! Is that the bigger glove box we've seen ? Camera and lunch in this one...CFNZ
Haha yes I love this car
Of course I like all Packards of the early years. I believe---as a designer--- that altho the '41 is a wonderful car....that the '39 and '40 have a more elegant body line, a smoother connection between the top and the lower body in the rear. I wonder why? We could know if the designer or even draftsman of that age were alive but it is too late to know the reasons for this little bit of "ungainly" which we also saw in the post war Packards. I once spent a week on Boca Grande Island (before the causeway brought in the riff-raff) of the widow of Packard's president (Mrs. Joy) and she was (rightly) bursting with Pride about her husband ( who she announced several times "...brought Packard to Detroit.......". ) She was a gracious hostess except for a few Jew-baiting remarks , it was the 1950's . Maybe that was an old Grosse Pointe habit.
I totally agree. I think the 39 looks better than the 40… in most body styles the Darren is a different level
You know, that series is credited with the death of Packard. High level model stepping into the mid/low level price class...turned out to not be a good idea, for the long term...but were great cars.
In the eyes of the buying public, it cheapened the rest of the line considerably. The other 2 Ps when down with their class in tact... Not like Packard in the late 50's.
40 Dash
41 Buick (if Buick 8!)
39 Packard
dang it, song too easy & I'm too slow...
Great choices I honestly don’t think that this caused Packard to go under packard just lost their way after the war and in my opinion they died in World War II it was one of World War II‘s biggest casualties.. I am starting to warm up to postwar Packards but they wasn’t popular I do however love the 55 and 56 in my humble opinion Packard Swan song years.. I honestly would not mind having one of those =)
41 Packard for both
Sweet =)
Any Packard will do for me.
Yes Economical for the time ,Guess 41
Buick,110
Great choices =)
Why no back seat? was it a businessman's coupe?
Yes
