I recently talked to the old gentleman who started my car back on the road to recovery (89 years young). Interesting man with some packard history! First picture is a 38 six "12 seater". They ran a mini bus service:

Hi
Nice old interesting pictures, glad the gentleman shared them with you and you with us.

The Studebaker is a 1937 Dictator Six with the optional sidemount which is missing from the mounting. I'm guessing that T.J Richards body company stretched the body, adding the middle door. That company had a business relationship with Studebaker, bodied many of their cars exported to your country.

The Plymouth is a 1935 Deluxe PJ 7 passenger sedan with a 128" wheelbase versus the standard 113" wheelbase of the regular 5 passenger models. Only 350 were built in this form with another 77 units as a 5 passenger Traveler sedan variation with a built-in trunk.

This model was intended for the export, livery and taxi markets. Appears as if this car was used for it's intended purpose. Probably covered a half-million miles with regular engine rebuilds and replacements until it was completely worn out.

That is a Very interesting picture of the 8 door! Packard, particularly as, based on the hood, it appears to be a 6 cylinder car. I can only wonder about the chassis, as, to my knowledge, there never was a commercial 110 chassis?? Also, as a period photo, it depicts a 120 bumper with 110 bumperettes, something I have seen on several other Aussie Packards of the era. Thank you for sharing these. DAF
