This 1932 Packard Eight 902 Coupe from the outstanding Bruce Church Collection of fine automobiles enjoys Full Classic status under the support of the Classic Car Club of America. In 1923, Packard began using series numbers to identify each year’s model lineup, continuing that practice into the 1950s. In 1930, the Seventh Series began with the standard Eight models, which were relatively conservatively styled and built on the shorter 127.5-inch and 134.5-inch wheelbase chassis, both using Packard’s exceptional 320/90 HP inline 8-cylinder engine. In 1931, Packard’s standard models again featured the 320 CI inline-8, then rated at 100 HP. In addition to a new Bijur automatic chassis-lubrication system, one of the 1931 lineup’s more fascinating engineering developments was a new system devised by Chief Experimental Engineer Clyde R. Paton to eliminate the high-speed shimmy that plagued even the smooth-riding Packard. The system employed oil-tight containers at either end of each bumper containing a small weight between two damping springs. These acted with new Ride Control driver-adjustable shock absorbers—and rubber mounts that effectively turned the radiator and its coolant mass into one large shock absorber—to dampen road vibrations and their accompanying harmonics. Paton’s engineering breakthrough was standard equipment on this majestic 1932 Packard Eight 902 Coupe. Powered by the inline-8, then rated at 110 HP, and using a synchromesh 3-speed, this show-stopping Ninth Series coupe was awarded AACA Senior honors in 2008 and the AACA Grand National Award in 2010. Comprehensively restored in frame-off fashion, its rumble-seat coupe coachwork features luscious tri-tone blue exterior paint with wide whitewall tires on chromed wire wheels, twin horns and fender lamps, Pilot-Ray self-steering safety lights, a “Goddess of Speed” hood mascot and superior brightwork. The gorgeous cabin is a combination of expertly finished tan leather upholstery and renewed burled-wood accents of superb quality, all adding up to a wondrous automobile from Packard’s classic era.
