Sounds like bull. FDR never recovered from polio so unless the car has hand controls for the pedals he never drove it.

No reason for conjecture, I'll ask someone who i believe has seen the car if it has hand controls.
UPDATE: The car is said to be a 1005 Touring, FDR never drove it. Some uncertainty as to whether FDR actually was the original purchaser, or The State of New York.

Another article, this one more accurate. It's a 1932 (905), not a 1933 (1005).

FDR Packard appears NOT to have a RH Rear Door but a Roll Up Window
