Yes, under the hood, above the heater box but below the seam between the cowl and the upper body, very large embossed numbers enclosed by trianges at either end. Please remember it's of no use to me without the vehicle number.

And answering Clipper47, yes all numbers appreciated.

I thank everyone for their help and promises of numbers yet to come.

Dave,

Meant to do this when you first posted this request some little time ago. But here we are now and I'll do a separate post for each car.

First up - Wade's '34

Wade only has the two body plates at the workshop, the body being on the other side of Sydney and when I see it I'll update with the thief-proof number. The story here on the two plates is that Wade is restoring a '34 and the body was burnt while in the body/paint shop a couple of years ago. He found a replacement body in the US and that body is now in the body/paint shop waiting to be painted.

Original Plate 716 - 446
Replacement 716 - 143

The thief-proof number to come will be for 716 - 143.

EDIT - Note the 716 - 446 plate doesn't have the dealers name or date stamp but it was delivered through Kellow-Faulkner in Melbourne.

Next John's '39 110

1700 - 2038

T.J.R.

And TJ Richards body number 84544

Some Australian Packard have locally built bodies which differ from those from the US. This one by TJ Richards uses a body shared with Studebakers of the same year! Has a separate plate for the locally built body and has T.J.R. stamped into the firewall!

For those who find this thread interesting, the story picked up the following year, but in another thread with the same title, which continues to grow.
