Brian, we could have separate groupings for the 1935 thru 1937 Junior Eights and Sixes, and another grouping for the 1938 thru 1942 cars (excluding the Clippers). If you separate the Sixes from the Junior Eights in this scheme then you end up with a single year group for the 1937 Six (which was unique and a one-year model like 1939 Senior Eight). The 1938 Juniors were different cars than their earlier versions with all steel bodies and the improved engines.

If there is a need to go more granular, then I would suggest a group for the 1935 thru 1937 Junior Eights and Sixes, and another grouping for these cars from 1938 thru 1942 (less Clippers). I would not parce any deeper than this.

I'll leave suggestions about the pre-war Senior Eights to those who are more versed in these models.
