Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, Packards were among the elite in luxury automobiles. The company, along with Pierce-Arrow and Peerless, was one of the 'Three Ps' of American motorcar royalty. With the stock market crash in 1929, the auto industry was in trouble; the 900 Series Light Eight was built in 1932 as Packard's attempt to survive the Great Depression. The shovel-nose grill is the feature that immediately identifies the Light Eight.
This Packard 900 Roadster was delivered on February 28, 1933, by Berry Motor Car Company in St. Louis, MO. It came equipped with dual side-mounts with covers, dual side-mount mirrors, a rear trunk rack with Packard trunk and fitted luggage, dual tail lamps, front fender parking lights, factory spotlight, dual horns, ride control, oil filter, heater, cigar lighter, glove box clock and outside wind wings.
It was given a total restoration that was completed in October 1985. It was shown at the Classis Car Club of America Grand Classics on July 12, 1986, where it scored 99.5 points for first place. It was shown again on July 9, 1988, at Grand Classic, where it scored 99.5 and won a Senior Badge. In 2012, the restoration was freshened up as needed and shown on the lawn at Pebble Beach in August 2013. . In January 2014, it was a feature car for the Arizona Concours d'Elegance.
