I do not understand the « logic » that leads to an interior like the 37 12’s

Can you though? The 41's tend to be worth more than the V8's and that would be a decent ask even for a comparable V8.

Speaking of things being worth more than V8's....how about this one? 1955 Patrician, abandoned project. Body appears straight, can't see any major rust from the pictures. But it is in Portland, so maybe there's more rust than it seems. Interior is gone. Motor has been rebuilt, but oil pump needs to be rebuilt. Transmission is supposedly operative. I'm assuming this has the 374, but I'm not familiar enough with them to tell just by looking at the engine. Engine has been repainted in red, which is not correct. But engine bay appears to be relatively clean. Some of the chrome actually looks pretty good. Glass is good. Parts or project. Portland, OR. Asking double what I paid for Rusty McRustface at $600, but in immensely better condition. My wife would kill me if I brought another project like this home.
Also found a 1937 6 cylinder engine near me. Complete engine w/ 3 speed transmission, and a spare transmission. Looks pretty good from the outside. Only $350. Anyone need this?

I docked the value of that '41 because the sellers ask of $20K is top dollar for a prewar Junior sedan and these cars are slow sellers in today's market. My big objection to this one is the incorrect interior, but maybe I'm being too hard because it was decently done. $20K is probably a reasonable ask, but I would not want to go over about $18K and would offer less as a start. I once had a '51 200 Club Sedan and have always liked this model. Here is a picture. Owned this car for a time back in the 1990's. Unfortunately, mine was much rustier than the one now for sale. Sold it to another Packard collector and he completely restored it. Bottom photos were taken by the new owner after he completed the restoration. Not sure where the car is today.

It looks like the 55 Patrician was already sold for $600. As for the 41 for 20k, of course, you need to know the specific car to make a reasonable assessment. I don't have enough info on most cars; but when I look at random listings and am thinking to myself that the price appears a bit high, these observations are often reinforced when I see the same cars still for sale a couple of years later

Couple of new ones today:
1953 Clipper Club Sedan. Base model Clipper. Exceptionally nice condition with nice paint (Turquoise Blue), chrome and decent looking original interior. Has three speed standard trans instead of the usual Ultramatic. Do not see any rust issues with the body and as it is from the Midwest, it is most likely pretty solid. Like this one and think it would be a great driver pretty much as is. Very clean car inside and out. Seller asking $9K. Nebraska. facebook.com/marketplace/item/3692134804418150 1940 120 Club Sedan. Great looking car. Ad states it has a few paint issues, but it looks really good in the photos with more than presentable paint, chrome and interior. Ad states 60K original miles and car runs and drives perfect. Listed as a '39 model, but it is a '40. Asking $22,950. Missouri: facebook.com/marketplace/item/732832262407006 1955 Clipper Custom Sedan. Rough. Ad states restore or parts, I think parts. Windshield is knocked out, but I do see many useable components. Seller asking $2K. Illinois: facebook.com/marketplace/item/2423636804676313 1955 400. A bit rough and needs restoration, but it is all there, do not see any really bad rust in the photos and the engine runs. Seller asking $3,500. Utah: facebook.com/marketplace/item/1223271085801383 1939 Super Eight Touring Sedan. Model 1703. Looks stunning in light tan with dual sidemounts. Very impressive car. Seller asking $22,500. Oxnard, CA: facebook.com/marketplace/item/1349476319511674
