Aluminium bodies

Hi to all.
I have a question regarding Packards and aluminium bodies.
My 1926 333 Limo has such a body.It is right hand drive so I presume it was made for Australian customers. The only steel sections are the scuttle, bonnet and fenders and running boards.
Were aluminium bodies made by a particular coach builder or were they a made by special request?
Does anyone else have an aluminium bodied Packard?
