Mal, thanks. The second pic assigned to that dealership appeals to my imagination too.

Yesterday in Adelaide

What follows I found in a newspaper collection, stored in The National Library of Australia. The story revolves around

The Packard Agency
141 Flinders Street
Adelaide

&

Sporting Cars Ltd.
120 Flinders St.
Adelaide

Both companys are part of our dealerships archive. The above mentioned Packard Agency was also called "S.A. Motors".
To be continued.

Let's have a look at the company building of the Packard Agency Adelaide in 1926. Try to find the gas pump in the picture.

Backside inscription of the below shown image:

A decorative tram wire support with its criss-crossed wires silhouetted against the sky gives interest to this view of the Packard agency. On the left is Wallman & Sons, Undertakers. See B 1754 and B 1091 for earlier views of this site. [On back of photograph] 'Acre 277 / South east corner of Flinders and Pulteney Streets / May 13, 1926 / Additional shop fronts installed on both sides of the Packard Agency in 1929. / Pulteney Street frontage of Packard Agency: 27 1/2 yards; Flinders Street frontage: 18 yards'.

Today the building is gone but with a repair shop and a tire service the location still is connected to the car business.

In 1933 a competitor appeared on the scene in Adelaide. The Sporting Cars Ltd. was registered, located at Franklin street at the beginning.
To stay current, the US parents took an active interest.
