Yes Peter, our plate is definitely from Detroit, and is unstamped as you predicted.
I'd love to understand its place in Packard history a bit better... 117 estimated in total according to Owen... some Canadian, some American; most LHD, this one RHD. I wonder; how did it end up sold new in Melbourne all by itself? Why don't there seem to be other coupes? Was your Su8 imported and sold by the same vendor? Curious...
Peter, your name sounds familiar from when my dad and I were members of PACA and PI for a while in the 80s; great to reconnect! I sense that I might lean heavily on your expertise in months to come, if that's okay?
Sloride75, thank you. I have attached an old snapshot from the last year that it rolled out of the shed.
