1932 Packard Model 902 Eight Coupe Roadster

This Packard 902 2-4 Passenger Coupe-Roadster was purchased 'off the street' in Philadelphia by the present owner while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Its owner at the time was a mechanic at the Studebaker dealership and the purchase price was $150. Most prior history is a mystery but the cowl tag (still original) indicates it was sold by a Philadelphia Packard Dealer in 1932.

The car was running at the time of purchase, but the deplorable condition was indicated by the $150 price tag. Its mechanics were improved in the following months and a cosmetic restoration was completed over the next several years.

The car is powered by a 320 cubic-inch, in-line, eight-cylinder engine developing 110 horsepower. It rests on a 136.5-inch wheelbase, weighs 4,420 pounds, and sold new for $2650.

A complete body-off restoration was completed by Classic and Exotic Service, Troy, Michigan, in August 2001. The car has been an excellent 'driver' since purchased and has been shown on a regular basis.
