History of this Vehicle
1922 - 1976
The vehicle was delivered to Australia complete with Packard built body, when new.
No history is known.
It was found abandoned near Bourke NSW in the early 1970's, and had been badly smashed.
As it was fitted with producer gas equipment, it was probably dumped around late 1930's - 1940.
1976 - Today
Purchased the car in 1976, the owner restored the car over
the period from 1976 to 1985.
The body was called a Sport by Packard and not many were produced, it has a lower belt
line and longer bonnet than the 5 & 7 passenger tourers of the same model.
