I am restoring a 1932 Light Eight sedan that was once owned by Roderick M. Blood of Newton, Massachusetts. Upon Mr. Blood's death in 1966 the car was sold at auction to the Harrah's Auto Collection in Reno, Nevada where it was on display from 1966 till 1969. I have a copy of the documented history of the car while it was owned by Harrah (provided to me by the National Auto Museum in Reno), that confirms that the car was purchased from the Blood estate. Therefore, I am trying to find out any information I can for the time period when it was part of Rod Blood's car collection. Is there any place that has information on the Blood collection, maybe photos or a list of cars that once belonged to the collection? Were there any records of the Blood collection that may still exist at an auto museum library today? Any information you may have, or if you can point me in the right direction for my search, would be most helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

G'day Randy Looney,
Member since 2017, but first post, so to PackardINfo.

I invite you to include your '32 Light Eight Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry

Thank you for the invitation but, I have already entered my car in the Packard Info Registry under the 9th Series. Thanks for the reminder though. We need more participation in the registry to keep the history of the marque alive.

And the greater participation in the Registry the better!

I have the list of the 30 cars, engines, and bodies that were sold during the auction, which I copied from the Robert Turnquest collection. If you send me a PM I will send you a copy. Your car sold for $1,000 and it is noted that Mr. Blood drove it daily during the 1950s.

PM has been sent.

4-page auction flyer sent.
