G'day VHSSG3,
Looks a nice Packard in the photo. Any more photos, of this and the other Packards mentioned, can never see enough Packard photos. Have to ask this question, what's the full story?

Sorry no more photos, The photo Packard was initially owned and operated as a bus by a BUS co and then bought as transport for a dance band in country NSW (Riverina)not exactly sure of the purchase date but assume early 30's by older brother of the current owner. Been in the family ever since. 24 tourer is all there but some assembly is required (it came out of Sydney). 39 is all there and running last time I heard and I think its a straight 8. I tracked down parts for the deluxe 7 seater about 10 years ago, Tyres/tubes/bedford cloth etc etc. It needs reupholstering and external paint which he has but I don't know if it will ever be completed, current owner is 84 y.o. and progress is very slow.
