1932 Packard question

Posted by James Butcher On 2011/10/10 13:23:25

I have looked at two 1932 Packard Twin Six brochure and the chassis diagram between them seem different? One has two cross bars angled out in the middle while the other has a regular X frame similar to the Light 8.

Were there two different frames for the 9th series 12-cylinder cars?

And... the frame is very similar to a 1926 Horch 303 frame while the other looks like their 1930 type 400 frame. Was the first style like the attached 1926 Horch photo considered an X frame by Packard? Horch doesn't consider their's an X.

The other style frame is the last picture.

Any diagrams of these?

Thanks!
Eric
