Welcome to Packardinfo!
I don't have all the answers for you but start with the difference between the early 30's models and the late 30's junior line is that of the early 30's models there were only a few thousand made and the 110,115, 120 models altogether over 200,000 (I haven't added all up to be precise). So there's a lot more parts available for reasonable prices and you can pick up cars for parts every now and then. The Flackmaster on this forum has an impressive amount of parts build up for the junior line and you'll find a lot of folks here with an almost unlimited amount of knowledge (just don't tell us that you'll drop a SBC in a Packard
)
