For 1932 Packard would introduce the 900 or “Light
Eight” model. Designed as an entry-level model to compete with
Buick, the 900 was the first and only Packard to feature the unique
shovel nose grill, a styling que that leads to many today calling
the Packard 900 one of the most beautiful ever built. A refined
compression ratio raised the output of the 320 cubic inch Straight
Eight to 110 horsepower, while a new chassis stretching the unique
wheelbase of 127.75 inches provided Packard with a unique new
platform. Four different body styles were available; a 5-passenger
Coupe Sedan, a Coupe Roadster, a Stationary Coupe and the elegant
5-passenger Sedan. Ride control suspension allowed the driver to
adjust the shocks to their preference, while Packard’s excellent
fit and finish provided motoring luxury at a fraction of the price
of some other models. While the 900 Light Eight line drove in
strong sales figures, the high price of construction resulted in
Packard losing more than $150 per car and thus was removed from the
1933 line up. Only approximately 6,750 900 Series Packard’s were
built, however their unique styling and one year only appeal make
them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts across the
globe today.
The 1932 Packard 900 Light Eight Sedan featured here is finished in
stunning Monarch Maroon over black with an impeccably kept grey
interior. This magnificent motorcar has been beautifully restored
and is well furnished with ride control suspension, cowl
ventilation, dual wipers, rear mounted spare, rear robe rail and
more. It is recognized by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) as
a Full Classic and is eligible to participate in all events and
