Went out for coffee on Sunday and saw these. The person running the cash register inside said they show up most Sundays for coffee. The big one’s a Packard - just massive next to the others.

Some of those old Packards are relatively powerful, they can be driven on modern roads with less strain than a Model A or similar. I think that one is a 29-30 .

Fun stuff, a real engineering brand.
Here’s one similar to the coupe above, in action:

I think they started at around 100 ish hp in 1929, and went up from there, plus a couple hundred ft lbs . Not going to win a drag race with a 2020 Camry, but certainly enough to keep up with traffic.

well a few of them in the teens and twenty’s had V12's in them. Called “twin sixes” so they had the power to push them down the road.

Nice Model A’s. Both are 30/31 cars, cant see enough detail to be more specific. The later grey sedan is a 40 Ford standard

I saw this at a local show ages ago, I think it was a Twin Six:
