- Sold was a refined 1937 Packard Model 1507 Club Sedan. Senior Packard's first year for hydraulic brakes and independent suspension. Close-coupled, this sedan was favored by the owner-driver. A most elegant, closed classic. Garaged in a museum with many other fine automobiles, this Packard is a true survivor. Painted just once, the interior of the car is fitted with the original materials, stock from the factory. The 483 cu.in. V-12 with 180HP has been gone through to assure that this car is a superb driver. The owner (an early Packard collector), personally drove this car 3000 miles for a Packards International tour to Oregon with no mechanical problems plus many other trips.
The color is a deep Packard Blue. The dash has the original applied wood-grained finish with the doors having the authentic wood. The rear passenger seating area is spacious and comfortable with all the accessories intact including the floor vent. The paint and chrome are very presentable. The original interior upholstery is in outstanding condition for the age. A couple of tears were noticed on the front driver's seat and some stains are present on the back carpets. (see photos). The imperfections are vey minor in my opinion for an original automobile of this vintage. Pride of ownership is evident since the car was first purchased.

What a remarkable example of my absolute favorite American makes.
That is a wonderful car. So original (which is good!!). The engine runs like the proverbial sewing machine. Thanks for showing.
This gorgeous Packard came out the same year I did.....and we are both 76 years old. Makes me think that maybe I need a complete restoration job....LOL.
+tbone1143 Nope, you're a classic, too!
I am going to buy a series 1701 1939 Packard. and restore her. The old cars were made better and us old guys are tougher as well.
Wow... why can’t the design cars as elegant as this anymore? Compared to this, the Lexus LS looks like it was designed in the middle of an acid-induced nightmare.
Exactly how I feel.
What a beautiful car, Packard quality and style.
I love this beautiful cars because your seeing history before your very eyes....simply a work of art..
so hard not to love these car's....nice deep blue....
Great car, and putting a fedora on the rear seat is a nice touch.
Oh man, that's the way a car should look. Every one today looks like a toaster.
".......looks like a toaster" I like that description a lot. sadly, so very true.

...or a sandwich maker. This is the whole span for your decision! :-)
I have to disagree, there are some pretty nice looking toasters :-)
@@bigredc222 Ha ha, I wouldn't want my toaster to look like a car either.
I like this car!
Wow!! What a lovely work of fine art right there!
The International Packard shop in Santa Ana worked on this Engine? amazing! I love walking by that place.
beautiful and timeless !! thanks for the video
Stunningly beautiful car....
I Love This Packard Black Car! 1930 Styles!
A real Beauty!
As I think of it, this body style really makes sense. Excellent visibility, great engine bay access, thin wheels for better fuel efficiency, two spare wheels, spacious trunk with a foldable rack to hold extra luggage. On the down side, too long a wheelbase makes for a very large turning radius and the rear window is too small.
Great car with a shutter, that's what missing in modern cars, i really love them
Very Nice.
Very beautiful car. That V12 runs better than any modern car's engine. How much would a Packard V12 like this cost?
Hello,
This V-12 sold for around $100k.
Thanks for your interest,
Dave Henry
The car new was probably about $2400 but that was a fortune then.
@@rossblankert170 the 1507 was Packard's top of the line chassis. Base price would have been in the $5000 range.
In 1937, $2400 would get you a Packard 120 (their mass-produced model) with bells and whistles.
Great vedio and car
That is one nice museum. :)
Someone should come out with new Packards. Perhaps GM could buy the name and make them as a step above Cadillac. Or replace Cadillac name with Packard. Then they could make all new models that are totally unique to all the other GM brands. Just a thought.
When Packard existed, their only competition was Rolls Royce.
A couple businessmen in Arizona bought the name and tried to resurrect the marque in 1999, and got as far as building a prototype, but ran out of money. They sank millions into the deal, but it wasn't enough.
The last I heard, that prototype was sold at auction to a collector in Australia for about $140,000 back in 2014 I think.
@@myrryxmas691 I never heard this before. I wonder what that prototype looked like. Do the same businessmen still own the name? Can’t help but admire those men for a valiant attempt, even if it didn’t work out and they lost a ton of money.
As long as I am indulging in ideas, my fantasy, if money were no object, would be to manufacture-whether a Packard or some other beautiful car from the 30s to early 40s-a new car using today’s technology, but designed to look like a 1937 Packard, for example. I realize compromises would have to be made to meet current regulations and so forth. Heck, it wouldn’t have to be a Packard; I’d settle for almost any car from that time. The design aesthetic of that period beats anything since. I’m not making a purist argument here, but how wonderful it would be to have a car that has some of the stunning design and practical comforts of those cars. (Hey, I said it was a fantasy.)
The original owner was a multi-millionaire.
