Thanks, O-D. Highest production due to the 120s and 115s, mostly the 115s, but more expense in bringing out the new Six line. Interesting to see how the recession of 1938 affected sales. I would have not liked to have been a production planner in those depression years.
(o{}o) Here is a production graph I did some years ago showing the variability of production and how much the junior cars contributed.

Wow. Vividly shows how Packard would not have survived without the Juniors

Don't hold me to exact figures but I know 1929 was Packard's most profitable year, IIRC something like $23,000,000 net on 55,000 cars sold, and all senior cars.

That's little over $418 per car. What was the average selling price?

But there were a lot less $5985 models sold than $2275 models. Average price probably $2800-$3000?
