1932 seems to have been the year Packard embraced whitewalls, although in photos they're still not wildly popular. I've still not found a single 1927-1931 factory Packard advertisement or promo photo that shows any of their cars wearing whitewall tires. GM. Auburn, and Cord, seem to have started the trend on their larger cars, but it really seems they didn't start to catch on until 1932/1933, and even then, in very limited numbers.

Plenty of whitewalls in this factory photo from 1932 of some Light Eights awaiting delivery.
