| The Predictor (circa 1982) BigKev Show and Concept Cars 03/12/2007 0:44 2495 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
Shots of Predictor taken by one of the museum staff as a present for Howard Hanson in 1982. Unfortunately the staffer didn't have time to develop film first (long before digital cameras and 1 hr photo), just sent it to the person who arranged the surprise. It was very underexposed due to horrible lighting in area where they had to the car. |

| 1938 Packard Six, Richards (Australian) touring sedan Guest 1938 03/21/2007 5:35 6117 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This particular Packard was imported to Australia as RHD (most probably from Canada) and fitted with a Richards (South Australia) body. The body is identical to those fitted to the Studebaker President Eight in Australia. The Packard was exhibited at the 1938 Adelaide Motor Show by Sporting Cars Limited. It was then sold as a demonstrator to a New South Wales doctor. I purchased the Packard in 1972 with 80,000 genuine miles and it still had the Packard san-tex seat covers on. The car has 120,000 miles on it now. The main differences to a 38 Packard body is that the Australian body is 200lbs heavier, has hidden boot hinges, smaller rear windows, door handles on the body belt line and a 1946 slope to the windshield. The die cast door and window gearboxes are also very prone to seizing. |

| 1927 Packard 533 with '41 Indian M/C on the back Peter Packard 1927 03/21/2007 21:46 4051 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This 533 came into Australia as a Hire car, it was used as a school bus in the 1930's in Adelaide, South Australia. i purchased the car in 1974 and have repainted the esterior. The interior is mostly original, although some renovation was carried out in 1955. i have fitted a 4.38 axle ratio and the sedan cruises well at 55 mph with a trailer of old bikes attached. |

| 1938 Super Eight , 1603 Formal Sedan Peter Packard 1938 03/21/2007 21:56 3851 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This vehicle is very unusual and a bit of a mystery as the Packard Formal Sedan was normally on a 1604 chassis. There is a theory that as there were about 100 1603 Super Eights unsold when the 17th Series arrived, some of these may have been fitted with formal attire to help the model run-out sale. This vehicle was partially restored in 1964 and has almost 90,0000 miles from original. A very nice car to drive on trips but the 4.69 axle ratio means 55mph is ok but over 60 mph is unkind to the motor. |
