One of several fine award-winning examples from the Bruce Church Collection, this 1932 Packard Eight 902 Coupe qualifies as a Classic Car Club of America Full Classic and was decorated with the Antique Automobile Club of America’s Senior Award in 2008. After Bruce Church acquired this beautiful rare classic-era Packard from the estate of a previous owner, he performed a comprehensive frame-off restoration that still remains in exceptional condition today. Sleeker and more streamlined than its 1930-31 predecessors, the 1932 Packard Eight featured recontoured window openings, a gently sloped-back windshield that eliminated interior glare and reflections, extended front-fender arches, recontoured beltline moldings and vent doors in place of the earlier models’ louvered-side engine covers. This 902 Coupe’s exquisite lines are beautifully emphasized by its bold combination of Metallic Maroon and silver paint with maroon pinstripe accents. Glittering chromed wire wheels wearing wide whitewall tires add even more elegance to the car, which also displays magnificent chrome and brightwork throughout. The car is well dressed in the manner typical of the Packards of this era, complementing the signature Packard radiator shell with a “Goddess of Speed” hood mascot, twin chromed horns and fender lamps and highly desirable Pilot-Ray articulated safety lights that turn in synchronization with the front steering. Dual side-mount spare tires on chromed wire wheels are mounted in silver-painted metal cases topped with chromed accessory mirrors. The 1932 Packard Ninth Series mechanical highlights include the outstanding 320/110 inline 8-cylinder engine with synchromesh 3-speed manual transmission, automatic chassis self-lubrication system, ride-control shock absorbers and the unique vibration-absorbing harmonic stabilizers designed by Packard’s Chief Experimental Engineer Clyde R. Paton to eliminate high-speed shimmy. This Packard Eight’s interior matches the show-winning exterior in its superb fit and materials, offering newer red leather and carpeting, both inside and in the rumble-seat area, and brilliantly finished burled-wood trim and brightwork.
