That's what I just said! I fear a few zeros are missing and then it's way too much.

I'm amazed that this 37 super eight touring sedan on 134" WB won't sell at this "junior" price.

Well this is not the 1500 on a 127" WB. I think it's quiet an unusual car cause the extra 7" WB was setting you back another $200 brand new. Maybe O_D van shed some light on estimated production numbers between the 1003 and 1013?
A nice 37 120 touring sedan can be bought in the $20-25k range. I've been contemplating this super 8 but how many Packards does one need?

Well BDC I've always been told that things are always bigger in Texas. So you mite as well go ahead and get that darn old Packard cuz you just might not have a big enough collection.

The common, big, wood framed body Senior sedans are expensive to restore thus depressing the value while the much more desirable open Seniors continue to rise.
The junior steel framed body sedans seem to be holding their own as are the junior open cars. Driving a Junior is real fun, light steering, tighter turning radius and the man on the street thinks you're in a million dollar car. Just my 2 cents

The 35-37 juniors have wood as well, and it makes no difference in restoring a junior or senior at that point from a wood standpoint.

Yes, the 35-39 Juniors do have wood, but hardly any at all. The 35-37 closed cars have 90% of their wood in the center roof section which anyone who can use a saw can fabricate from scratch. The 35-39 Seniors have wood in all doors, most seat frames, the body shell etc, probably costs 10 times as much to replace the wood on a Senior than a Junior. There was a reason that the Juniors needed as many employees in '37 to produce 100,000 cars as the Seniors needed to produce 5,000....and cost less than half as much.
