"Senior" was a PMCCO term used to differentiate the fine car production from the 110/120. People like Christopher and Gilman didn't like the idea that the "Junior" line (110/120) were supposed to be subsidizing the luxury cars.

The Senior line was built in a separate facility on a separate line from the 110/120. This situation ended in 1940 and both lines were consolidated when the Twelve and the two piece motor were discontinued.

While this is not relevant to the current discussion of the top line Packard cars after consolidation, this is where the terms Junior and Senior originated.
