1932 Packard Model 905 Twin Six Roadster Coupe

The twelve-cylinder 1932 Packard wore a lengthy hood, flowing open fenders, and a V-shaped grille. This particular Ninth-Series Coupe Roadster offers seating for two plus two additional seats for passengers in the rumble seat compartment. The 445 cubic-inch engine develops 160 horsepower and resides within the 142-inch wheelbase chassis.

The early history of this Packard is not known. During the early 1980s, it was in the care of John M. Wheatley of Tulsa, Oklahoma who entered it in the 1982 CCCA Grand Classic in Denver, where it scored 98 points and earned its First Place award, commemorated with badge no. 1029. Ownership later passed to Jerry Moore of Texas, followed by John McMullen of Michigan. In 1998, it was purchased by Tony Vincent.

This Packard wears a two-tone combination of dark blue on the fenders and upper body panels complemented by a gray shade on all side body panels. It has a canvas roof which is repeated throughout the interior compartment of the leather upholstery, door panels, and carpeting. The chrome wire wheels are wrapped with whitewall tires, and the side-mount spare tires have metal covers equipped with Packard mirrors, driving lights, and wind wings.
