In regards to the exported vehicles I am pretty sure in Beverley Rae Kimes book it shows how many exported cars were made, but in Australia there were 3 dealerships that sold Packards. Ira & Berks in NSW, Kellow-Faulkiner in Victoria and there was another dealership in South Australia but there name escapes me. If we could obtain these records we could determin how many were sold, but these are likely lost to history. Though all of the cars sold in Aus by the dealers were RHD vehicles.
Mal, nice pictures of the xmas party & run. Peter Lewer and Russ and myself went back to Springwood and pulled a part off russ's 39 - let the fun begin. I also hit a kangaroo on my way home on Sunday did about $1500+ damage. Note: U.S. members, There's more kangaroos from where that one came from
He died quickly anyway & I wasn't in a Packard, only a Jeep
Mal, Out of curiosity, is there any record of how many Packards were sent to AU when new? And were they all RHD?
