Hi BDC

In the case of this '32 901 sedan, the saying a neighbor's father used to remind his wife applies: "Powder 'n paint make ya what ya ain't". It's just a regular 901, Body No. 503 sedan that has been 'formalized' to confer on it a more 'elegance' look with blanked-in quarter windows, padded vinyl top covering and landau bars. The telltale it didn't come from the factory that way are the sharp, right-angle corners on the upper door frame and lower top quarter where the C-pillar meets the belt-molding. When building the true formal sedan, Packard always rounded and filleted those features for a properly-designed appearance, just as they did for the club sedan which usually shared components with it.

A few more in your state, in far less nice condition but worthy of project or parts to save others:
