Up until 1935 Packard produced a number of models which generally shared mechanical components. All these cars were in the upper echelon of vehicles produced during that time, being very well engineered, built and appointed with a commensurate high cost. Then, starting in 1935, Packard introduced another line of cars generally smaller, well engineered and built but not as well appointed and with different engines and mechanical components at a much lower cost than the upper echelon vehicles which continued in production. It is believed the descriptive terms "Junior" and "Senior" were coined within the company as broad indicators with the upper echelon vehicles, as "Seniors" and the lower cost vehicles as "Juniors". Believe this is the broad gist of the matter, but if not I'm sure I'll soon be corrected!
That's the spirit! Looking forward to seeing your Packard in the Packard Owner's Registry WHEN you do get one.
