Production Numbers Confusion

Posted by glentre On 2023/12/21 21:54:26

While looking over the Model Information page on this site to try to determine how many of my 1935 model 1205, 883 convertible sedans were produced, I found that all 18 different super eight models are shown as having 1392 units produced. The models included in the list were all of the 1203, 1204 and 1205 models. Surely, not each and every one of those 18 models had exactly 1392 built so I assume the data means that 1392 cars were produced which included all 18 of the different super eight models. Is there any data that would show me just how many of the 883 models alone were produced? While adding mine to the registry today, I found only one other member who had an 883 and that is the same car I recently bought from that owner. There is also a very nice black 883 survivor car listed. Any info anyone can give on the production numbers of only the 883 model would be greatly appreciated. If actual production numbers do not exist, it would be interesting to have some estimates from the knowledgeable Packard folks on this forum.
