Also, studying the photos I noticed the speedometer "goes to eleven". Spinal Tap reference aside, can such an old car really do 100mph? It would be wild to have that old machine cutting through the air so quickly.
The Packard can do at least 90 mph. The lowly 1949 Olds Rocket 88 could reach 97 mph. A 1949 Buick Roadmaster with the terrible Dynaflow slushbox could hit 110 mph. Going back even further, a Model T in a custom speedster body can reach expressway speeds, as could a bone stock 1906 Ford Model K.

Would you want to take any car that age that fast is the real question...
