Don, I too love the detailed analysis. To further support Kev's analysis, my block was cast 22 Dec 1936, and marked as delivered in Cleveland 31 Dec 1936! Weird though - on my car, the date of casting is on the drivers side of the block.

I just edited the post - 22 Dec, not 24 (typing is hard), but yeah - out of the sand to sold in 9 days seems crazy to me too.

1937 was Packard's highest volume year. They were turning and burning them for sure!
I wonder how many shifts the factory was running at that point.

Casting date of January 14, 1937 is confirmed. Now, based on how quickly Ken’s car was turned around, it appears that cars rolled off the assembly line less than a week after the casting date (at least in one case).
If that’s the case, my estimated manufacture date of January 18, 1937 looks like a pretty decent estimate. In any case, I think I can say with confidence that my car was built in the last half of January, 1937.
