1932 Packard Model 900 Light Eight Convertible Coupe

Feeling the impact of the Depression, Packard sought to build a more economically priced line of cars in 1932, leading to the 900 Light Eight series. This coupe roadster is one of approximately 6,700 total units built in all styles. Powered by Packard's 320 cubic-inch straight-eight, the shorter wheelbase, and lighter vehicle were quite peppy and easy to drive. Unforuntaltey, Packard found the 900 series nearly as expensive to build as their larger models, as it shared the most important components with the larger cars, leading to a loss on each example sold. The series was not continued after 1932.
