1932 Packard Twin Six Coupe Roadster
- Engine
- 445.5 cid L-head V12, single dual-draft carburetor, 160 bhp at 3,600 rpm
A 1932 Packard Twin-Six Coupe Roadster produced at the height of Packard's pre-war prestige. During the current long-term owner's tenure, a body swap using period Packard coachwork was performed to convert the car to the desirable Coupe Roadster configuration — a practice consistent with factory and dealership practice of the era. A comprehensive documented restoration was completed in 2006, after which the Classic Car Club of America awarded Full Classic status in 2008.
