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. sources #01- 1924.01.23 The Register, Adelaide #02- 1924.03.12 The Register, Adelaide #03- 1924.05.31 The Register, Adelaide #04- 1924.06.18 The Register, Adelaide #05- 1924.08.19 The Advertiser, Adelaide Attach file: (41.21 KB) (40.27 KB) (51.00 KB) (84.39 KB) (56.78 KB)

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. source: State Library of South Australia This image has no known copyright restrictions.

...Many car troubles are detected at the workshop in five minutes, and are put right in about the same time...

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. sources #12 - 1933.05.02 The Advertiser, Adelaide #13 - 1933.11.07 The News, Adelaide #14 - 1935.09.30 The News, Adelaide Attach file: (70.60 KB) (37.63 KB) (106.05 KB)
