Re: Let's discuss Packard 6V electrical systems and the change to 12V systems

It's quite interesting. In the second reply the exported cars were converted to 12v. This I've heard of. Mr. Illich who has owned many cars and museums in Aus. has a 34 model Packard and his car uses the Marchal headlights which he says are a great improvement. (but can't remember if his was 6 or 12v) This also raises another question, if the canadian exported cars had the 12v system. Why were Australian cars exported in 6volt. Does that means that when Packard built export models in canada they must have had 2 electrical installment lines, one for 6v and another line dedicated to 12volt
