- We resurrect the 1922 Packard Series 116 Phaeton to go get ice cream, but there is a an interesting story about Packard Motor Car Company. Take a drive and see how she performs and see if this is a good car or a bad car.

Bob has a nice helper soldering those wires.
Great bit of history, and a very lucky escape with a wiring harness fault right below a fuel leak!
Even Packards, my all time favorite laid a goose egg once in awhile. What a great automotive history lesson Mark. The story is really told well. Thanks for another informative and relaxing video. Take care.
I’ve never heard someone claiming to be an automotive restorer or someone remotely interested in cars talk so poorly about a classic.
he spoke the truth, for a Packard it was a terrible car. Against its siblings it was dull as could be and built to a budget, no better than a model T for value. People have got it in their heads that once a car becomes a classic its amazing, and that simply far from the truth with some models. A bad car will always be bad.
Very informative and fun watching . Great stuff
Love the backstory, really sets this video apart from just an ordinary car video. I'm sure anyone watching your channel is interested in cool cars and a bit of history.
I just found this channel love it :)
Fascinating,thanks.
OMG, it had a short AND a fuel leak in the same place!?! It's a small miracle that this car didn't burn to the ground.
I never worried about how fast those old cars could go. What scared me was how slow they stopped especially in traffic.
Loved it!! The historical context of the vehicle really paints a picture...even if the 116 isn't the Mona Lisa. Keep putting out great videos like this and your audience will find you.
Really enjoyed this video. Great job, Thank You.
Excellent video. The history of the industry, our country and Packard at that point in time is really interesting and adds to my appreciation of the car. Thank you.
Loved the bit about getting in and out. I have a 1935 Rolls 20/25, Right Hand Drive, and it’s got both handbrake and gear levers next to the door.
So you have to slide out across the bench seat to the other side to get out! On the ones built for the US market I think the setup was different.
On the plus side, it meant you never had to get out into traffic. Rolls continued this practice post WW2 with the Bentley Mk6 and the Silver Dawn, except for the handbrake which was of the umbrella handle type, but the gear lever was again outbound. Got one of them as well and on it I can get out the drivers door but I occasionally get the lever stuck in my trouser leg, which is comical!
I like this format. Very cool and great jokes! More please especially with cars that you like!
I bet a few women caught there dresses on those E brakes.
I also noticed no front brakes.
Good video.
Being such a 30’s era car enthusiast, you dropped the ball on getting in/out of the car. Back in the day, everyone entered the car from the right hand side. I’m no expert, so I can’t say why. Also if you look at any pre 1940’s cars that had keyed door looks, the outside locks were only on the right side. But back in those days, people had to be smaller in stature because even on the right side, getting in was a chore.
If you watch old movies you'll observe that people tended to get into their vehicles from the right (curb) side. Perhaps that is why the hand brake is on the left side.
Great video, thanks.
9:57, "126"? Great to hear the history.
Would be interesting to have a head to head comparison with a '22 Motel "T"
I think you would be better to compare to another 6 cylinder car.
Dear sir - please hire me to do your road tests on these beauty's .you fix them up and if do my part without a grown lol
Enjoyed
I love it!! Great Car!! If only because it's lucky enough to still exist!!
Loved the video - just 'cause it's old, don't mean it's great! I'm a late-model Buick guy. I've had two Boattails and started out by jamming a Riv 455 into a Skylark. As amazing as the engines are, the body, chassis and axle mount alignment really leave something to be desired. There are a WHOLE LOT of shims required to make those bodies straight.
Love the video. Not sure if Mark likes this car... maybe I should re-watch? :-)
What's the Doug score? I always look foreword to your videos. More please.
Wages for working people during this time was between three and eight dollars per day.
I think it is ...............dignified.
Like all Packards, it has a quiet engine. At least there's that going for it. I think it would make a fine parade car to haul some local politician down the street waving to the crowd. A parade car doesn't need a powerful engine or a great suspension. Add a sign with the politician's name and title and enough bunting to hide the boring paint color.
"A return to normalcy
is the same
as is here now.
I like your honest opinions. You certainly are NOT trying to 'sell' us on that one.
Would you take $150.oo Canadian for it?
I thought I liked jay Leno garage videos ,,oh no. I'm hooked on there's videos . So interesting. I will say . And I will say woman with thick heavy hair are gorgeous and she is . ..
Glad you like them!
1922, going on 1912. What's old, is older again. Speaking seriously, how could they have listed that car for $3400, was it? And then sell a far more fancy model for $1,000 less?
Packard made great cars. This one, well ur...... Packard were famous for producing the Rolls Royce Merlin engine under licence during WW2. The Mustang proved to be one if the best fighter aircraft thanks to it's engine which had refinements to the original. RIP Packard.
Packards were wonderful cars, amazing quality. The American Rolls--and even that isn't enough to describe them because Rolls copied Packard on some things. That's part of the appeal for this car.
It was a bit dated for 1922 .I have worked on cars built 15 years before this packard which had the oil overflow tap. I looks like the management were intent on making sales without spending any money on improving the model line up. Michael Moore? prius owners? i see what you did there..LOL!
Don't think Leno is going to be calling on that one.
I love nearly every car.
Just my grandmas 'Honda Jazz' can go to hell.
It want to see me dead.
If you compare it with a Ford Model A, what´s your verdict?
After restoring around 100 Model A's, I must say I would be biased I own a Victoria that we may restore for the show. I would rather have a Model A. I love Packards, but my heart lies in the early 1930's cars.
Thank you!
Aye, if I had the money I would most certainly buy it. There has to be a way to up grade the performance and oil consumption. Beside most of those cars from that era was stodgy. Aye its still a Packard
Same here. It would be an upgrade from my ole 1921 Hupmobile Pie Wagon. I think it is really good looking and deserves a dedicated future. Kind of like the gal in the vid!
Lol how do I boost this
I like your videos but I've seen them all . You say I do a video every week. Well I don't think so.. but anyway I do really wait day by day to see a new video, just saying
I'm so sorry. I am finishing my house and shops. I have decided to put my place up for sale and things are not done. Working 16 hour days to get things tidied up. But i'm not quitting restoring cars (and doing the video's). I'm planning on building a new facility on my families ranch. I want to move further away from the city. I'll get back to the video's
How about a 2 minute video updating us on your life/progress and when we’re going to get more videos? Sorry if you thought I was thinking about you……it’s all about me and your other viewers! 😂
I hear a lot of Packards drive like trucks. Even the nice high end, expensive cars.
Yes they do. Somewhat anyway. They are much better riding than the less expensive cars fo the day. Just have to compare apples to apples.
Damn, that building in the background is just awful! This beautiful car ought to be shown in a prettier setting
yep people where smaller in 1922
But the door handles are cool
Thats the way to look at things, the glass is half full.
...I'd sooner drive that car 500 miles in a rain storm than play strip poker with Michael Moore...
I wood !
Your videos are consistently informative, interesting and entertaining. However, to increase your subscriber count I believe you'll need to bolt on a chin spoiler, add a fart-can exhaust and swap in a 2 liter Honda VTEC. :)
Don't forget he will also have to put on a baseball cap crooked and talk ridiculous, that is how you get million subscribers... RUclips has turned into romper room for teens, great information, good content and great production mean nothing which this video has... Some idiot eating a Tide Pod gets more subscribers in one day than I have gotten in 11 years of making videos on RUclips.. Look at this channel 6000 subs with this great content such a shame..
So far.... 8,349 views, 187 Thumbs Up for your Thumbs Down and 10 Thumbs Down for your Thumbs Down.
If that is the best report on an old car kindly do not bother thank you!!!!
You are from a completely different generation!
Personally it does not look bad too me!
Remember it is damn 100yrs old, how many of today,s shitboxes will still around let running and driving 100yrs from now!
Well Barry, I guess only you are allowed an opinion. Even though you made mistakes in your grammar, I respect your opinion and went ahead and posted it. If your going to be rude, at least do us all the favor by posting a good rebuttal to my post. I never compared any antique car to todays cars. If you were paying attention, I said I supposed it was attractive in the day. I will anxiously await your video reply. Words are cheap, produce a video and amaze us all.
I think Barry has some good points and he is practically a manners diplomat compared to what goes for comments nowadays on RUclips. I enjoyed the video but did think that some of the piling on was more comparing to modern standards than stating the Packards inadequacies as compared to other 1922 automobiles. The scripted historical setting seemed a bit preachy in tone but provided a very interesting historical context. I really like how you mentioned what something like this sells for on the market today. Thanks for posting this video.
