Production numbers

Are there any compilations of production numbers for pro cars?

I'd like to read about all pro cars, but specifically at the moment I'm wondering about the following, 37 Packard, 53 Packard, 73 Cadillac.

Also is there any sort of pricing guide, maybe atleast in comparsion to stock cars?
 
The books authored by Tom McPherson on Superior, Eureka, Flxible, Henney and Miller-Meteor are hihly recommended. All of these contain prices and some production numbers along with hundreds of original factory photos and illustrations. Some of these books even contain competitive comparison tables. Walt McCall and Tom have also produced a number of photo albums that contain a lot of interesting photos of these cars. These books are readly available but not cheap. Check at Amazon.com.
 
According to the Henney book, Packard produced 1,300 Series 120-CA and 1501-A commercial cassis in 1937. These were used by many coachbuilders including Eureka, Henney, Knightstown and Miller. Henney, the only coachbuilder using the Packard chassis after 1938, produced 166 Senior cars (long wheelbase cars) and 378 Juniors (original wheelbase cars) in 1953. Cadillac built 2,212 6F F90/Z Commercial Chassis in 1973 and these were distributed between Superior, Miller-Meteor and Hess & Eisenhardt (makers of S&S professional cars). Hope that this helps somewhat.
