| Wait for it S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C10/C14.8.35 Re PACKARD CAR. ------- Mr.Greenwood, from whom we are obtaining this car (viz. the cheap Packard with the larger engine) advises us that he cannot get this until about the end of October. Leonard Williams, the Packard Agent in London, informs me that the one you mentioned is the only one they have ever imported. Some of the delay is due to the right-hand steering; they could probably anticipate delivery by a month with left-hand steering. C. | ||
