One would expect Packard to have a nodern post war engine after cranking out Merlins for the war effort.

Pictures did not often match up with the car being discussed . Often statements were incorrect. and 1941 models were compared with 1942 models. I was surprised to hear a Ford special deluxe described as a luxury car.

What is needed is a You Tube rating of the worst programs broadcast. This sad program "Classic Cars would be at the Top of the list!"

The visual presentation is not correlated with the narration, like extensivge showing a Plymouth while still carrying on about the Ford Super Deluxe & showing a Dodge while moving on to Oldsmobile.

NO RESULTA CLARA LA RESEÑA, IMAGENES QUE NO SE AJUSTAN AL RELATO QUE SE ESCUCHA, VARIANDO ARBITRARIAMENTE LOS AÑOS Y LAS MARCAS Y AGREGANDO VEHICULOS CUSTOMIZAADOS. LO LAMENTO PERO EN MI MODESTA OPINION NO ME RESULTA CONVINCENTE

Ridiculous and very poor editing. I did enjoy seeing the old cars though. Seat belts and air bags in the 40's made me laugh.
