Hi

Lately, curiosity of how much structural wood is in the '35-'37 Junior bodies has come up. My recollections of Junior Packard bodies without roof material and upholstery I've seen is the subframing structure is largely stamped steel with wood as tacking strips and non-structural sections.

So, how much and where is wood used in those?

Am amazed, thought there was more wood. Schematic did't mention the doors... none there either?

Budd made all steel doors for the 1935-37 junior model Packards.
