...CCCA survey that tells of the surviving top ten models and makes (attention O-D, a 1934 Packard is second only to a 1941 Cadillac)

Even more surprising when you look at the production numbers:

1934 Packard production, Eight, Super 8, & Twelve (all are CCCA Classics): 8000 units

1941 Cadillac (just those that are CCCA Classics): 35,980 units.

Add to that that at the time the WW II scrap drives began, the Cadillacs were at most 1 year old, the 34 Packards nearly 8 years old.

Other than 1899 (100% survivor rate), 1934 Packard has the highest survival rate of any Packard year, followed closely by 1933. No other years even come close.
