In 1934 Packard claimed the distinction of being the first automobile manufacturer to engineer a radio into a cars design. To eliminate the problems that had for the most part made automobile radios inefficient, shielded siring and lead-in wires used, the coils were changed ot prevent static, and specially designed dash board was developed by Packard.

Nearly half of all Packard's sold in 1934 came equipped with a radio.
