Re: 1932 Light eight VIN

The number embossed into the cowl is the body serial number, more commonly known as the "theft proof" number, an identifying number Packard could use to identify a car if the other numbers were missing or altered.
The date on the patent plate is the date of sale, not the date of production. It was to be stamped by the selling dealer to mark the commencement of the warranty period.
Quite a coincidence, just an hour ago I got the numbers from another Light Eight coupe, #558 413, <168931>.
You're missing a large glass 20 amp fuse in your circuit breaker, NAPA still carries these as #782-1017, identical to the originals - get a couple of spares, they won't be available forever.
