If I go to edmunds or KBB they have Dealer invoice at a higher price, basically the difference is the Dealer holdback. Another way of saying it is, my Dealer could have shown that same line as $37652 which includes the holdback and I would not have even questioned it.

They may even have Whsl. Financial Reserve $420 in that number too, as I don’t recall ever seeing it itemized.

Bottom line is I believe this is the deal that the salesman and I originally agreed on, but I just needed confirmation from those of you in the know.

Thanks for the help and sorry I did not do a search the first thing. What I did do was to go back through several pages of threads trying to find a similar question.
I'm glad it helped. edmunds and most other invoice sites roll the HB and WFR into the total invoice number. The dealer does get an invoice which does this as well, but that's a hard copy and not something that can be copied and pasted. The computer generated invoice breaks down those figures which is why you saw them.
