One of the superb classic-era
Packards from the Bruce Church Collection, this 1932 Packard Eight 902 Coupe
also qualifies as a Full Classic, according to the Classic Car Club of America.
The Ninth Series Packards were introduced in mid-June 1931 as the shadow of the
Great Depression continued to lengthen across the American economic landscape.
Management feared a low turnout for its annual Detroit sales meeting as dealers
toiled to sweep their showrooms clean of the previous year’s Eighth Series
cars. The 1931 addition of Cornelius Van Ranst—who engineered the ill-fated
front-wheel-drive Cord L29—had caused further concern among Packard dealers,
who feared it would result in a radical new lineup. However, the June 20, 1931,
edition of “Automobile Topics” reassured the world that the 1932 lineup was
“not only modernized in appearance, but invigorated with revised concepts of
automotive engineering … showing no deviation from Packard’s conservative and
well-planned course of progress … styling is a little less severe than that of
most recent Packards, yet it holds that peculiar refinement which has
distinguished this line for many years, and which likewise has many times
successfully defied attempts at competition.” The changes were numerous but
subtle; the emblem was moved to just above the crank-hole cover, windshields
tilted back 7 degrees to reduce reflections and window openings and belt
moldings recontoured. Vent doors replaced the louvers on the engine side
covers, and dual horns, dual side-mount spares with side mirrors on metal
covers, a rear luggage rack and full rear bumper were available as options. In
addition to those highlights, this comprehensively restored 1932 Packard 902
rumble-seat coupe also features the bumper-mounted Harmonic Stabilizers
introduced that year. Wrapped in attractive two-tone gray and black with superb
brightwork, it rides on wide whitewall tires fitted to sparkling chromed wire
wheels and features a newer leather interior with refinished burled-wood
accents. A “Goddess of Speed” hood mascot, chromed grille stone guard and
Trippe Safety Speedlights add to this Packard’s magnificent presentation.
