I would think staying with any of the flat straight 8s vs 6s would offer ample torque and speed and manual you can shift your way out of rpm death.
The 22-23s are fairly light in weight. HP is not impressive, but torq gets U going. The weights/HPs are listed in the model info tab.
"Prewar not for me"; he older ones maybe more appeal / recognition. I saw a '42 Clipper sedan going to auction soon that's one of two. It's got the deco look and the old P luxury charm of a bentley or rolls, but probably bring big bucks. Eye candy/investment grade.
