As a former auto mechanic that ran my own shop for 14 years, I can't even fathom a car company today that would put this kind of effort into a quality product. Today, automakers know there's, "An ass for every seat", and no matter how terrible the build quality or how many corners cut, there will be thousands of buyers going into debt for 3-9 years for it. Then when it turns to a pile of scrap in 10 years (IF they're that lucky) flat, they'll be back again for another one - they won't even bother fixing the engineering screwups of the past, since they're making money hand over fist! Amazing how far things went to hell in just 7 decades. 😢

Another gem of a film. I don’t know where you find them, but keep them coming!

70 years ago. Wow. What a piece of Packard history. Sad to think it would be gone just a few years later. Thanks for sharing!
-
Bravo! Especially cool to see Col Vincent there, too.

If only it was enough to save Packard...😢❤

Sad to think that by 1957 Packard had closed it Detroit operations and moved to South Bend. I believe that this Packard V8 had some of the highest horsepower ratings in the industry.

This was very enjoyable and interesting to watch. But as another commentator said, you knew what was coming a few years later.
-
Its hard to believe that a few bad corporate decisions took down such a great automobile
-
Where was Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated? He wasn't invited? Great job on the clarity and colorization. Keep it up.

So sad indeed !

So what was it about Packard that caused them to fail in an exploding post-war market? Auto sales boomed in the fifties.

Maybe repost this without the awful colorization? So distracting.
