Hi all, especially oibrag. I am 99 percent certain that the bodymaker was Martin and King in melbourne. I have the internal bodywork and trim remains of a 48 Martin and King seven passenger mourning coach. The chassis is down the NSW South Coast somewhere. I hope to use some of the parts on my 1605 7 pass convertible project. No, Mal there is not enough to include in Owner's Registry but I feel guilty enough to include some of my other project cars. Best regards Peter Toet.

does anyone have any photo's of any martin and king ambulances or hearses if they built them. i'm also wondering does anyone know if they put a builders plate anywhere on the cars. if so where would a good place be to start looking? as well does anyone know much about Ira L & AC Berk (packard) LTD. they were in sydney. i think they still operate but now it is a panel shop (i think). also did they build ambulances and hearses does anyone know. thanks.

Sam, a long time member of PACA, the Packard Automobile Club of Australia, has many Ira Berk records. If he can't help you from his archives then probably no one can. But be prepared for a long, long conversation because Sam likes to have a chat, especially about Packards! Attach file:  (49.52 KB) (45.17 KB)
