A little history about this model:
Packard introduced its Ninth Series in June of 1931, eight months ahead of the typical new model introduction. The 903 Deluxe Eight Series received significant updates over the preceding Eight Series and saw Packard move from a 4-speed crash gearbox to a 3-speed with synchromesh in second and third. It was also the first year for a fully disappearing top on the production coupe roadsters. The chassis were lower, and the bodies, built by Packard, were also lower and had a much more graceful appearance.
