1932 Packard Deluxe 8

1932 Packard Series 900 Light Eight Roadster

The "Shovelnose" Legend | A Masterpiece of Art Deco Engineering

Experience a rare piece of automotive history with the 1932 Packard Series 900 Light Eight Roadster. Introduced as the "show stopper" of the 1932 New York Auto Show, this "State of the Art" Packard represented a bold, streamlined leap forward for the prestige brand.

Design & Performance

Distinguished by its iconic and aerodynamic "shovelnose" scoop-type grill, the Light Eight was built on an entirely new 127.75" wheelbase chassis. By design, it was lighter and more agile than its contemporaries, offering superior "get-up and go" compared to the heavier Standard Eight.

This specific model features the highly desirable optional dual sidemounted spare tires, emphasizing its classic, long-hood silhouette.

Innovation Ahead of Its Time

In 1932, Packard pushed the boundaries of luxury and safety. This Roadster is equipped with features that were revolutionary for the era:

• Mechanical Excellence: 3-speed syncromesh transmission, ride control, rubber motor mounts, and finger-control free wheeling.

• Safety & Comfort: Shatterproof glass, 6-ply tires, and a five-position adjustable front seat.

• Cockpit Sophistication: A new dash featuring "aviation-type" instruments, dual glove compartments, and a remote control starter button.

• Driver Amenities: Twin adjustable sun visors and two independently operating windshield wipers.

A Rare Opportunity

Despite being Packard’s best-selling vehicle in 1932, the Light Eight was so over-engineered that the company famously lost $150.00 on every unit sold. Because of these high production costs, the 900-series was discontinued after just one single year of production.

Today, the Light Eight is a prized collector's item—a testament to a time when Packard chose perfection over profit. Don't miss the chance to own a vehicle that truly defined the "State of the Art."
