John,

Unfortunately the '37 Super Eight is not mine but belongs to Wade, another member of the club. It is a very very nice car! Wade saw it for sale on eBay about 3 months ago and bid and won it.

As for the import process, if you have a look at my Project Blog, about the '41 Coupe I bought on eBay, I think that covers what and how and how long.

To all - Thanks for the kind words, and as various Packard or automotive events take place here I'll try and photo them and add comments as required.


PS - There is a picture of Wade's '34 RHD chassis in Packard Pictures on this Forum. The story there being that Wade is also restoring a '34 Sedan and that a couple of years ago the body, while waiting to be painted in a paint shop on the southern outskirts of Sydney way across town, was destroyed by one our largest summer bushfires ever. Since then Wade found another '34 of the same model in the US and the body he got from that is now at the paint stage. The Chassis from the US body is presently sitting next to the restored chassis and the difference is remarkable (Next time I'm in his workshop will try and photo them together). So now Wade will shortly have 3 Packards on the road (he already has a '37 120 Daily Driver - literally)!
