History of this Vehicle
1929 - 1986
This car was originally delivered to Adelaide complete with Packard built body where it was used along with 3 other Packards for a daily Adelaide / Victor Harbour trip.
After that it was acquired by a local farmer who cut the body off behind the front doors and fitted a table top tray.
It was bought by an Adelaide enthusiast as a parts car in the 1970's.
1986 - Today
Current owner bought the vehicle in 1986 along with the same model Roadster as a parts car.
Restoration on this vehicle began in 2003.
