Hello Guscha, You are a wonderful facts digger... unbelievable. I do know of 1937 Australian bodied Packards, but not through Sporting Cars in South Australia and Richards. I have 5 Richards bodied Packards from the perhaps 200 or so produced. Never heard of a 1937 Richards Packard. Lots of 1938/39 Richards Packards. A few 1940 Richards Packards as WW11 erupted. Some very exotic Australian bodied Packards exist and some went to the US as RHD . Fine body builders such as Martin and King prioduced RHD Limousines on Packard Super Eight chassis. No Twelves in RHD unfortunately and Sir MacPherson Robertson was the only person to import new Packard Twelve vehicles into Australia. We had a Chocolate Manufacturer who was addicted to Packards as well as Chocolates ( Sir MacPherson Robertson). He had many pre Twenties Packard Twin Six. None survive that I know of. I have his 1938 Super Eight Formal with 94,000 miles.
Keep up the good work. Peter Toet.
