The Packard Caribbean is a personal luxury car produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, ichigan, uring model years 1953 through 1956. Some of the Caribbean’s styling was derived from the Pan America Packard Show car of the previous year. It was produced only as a convertible from 1953 to 1955, ut a hardtop model was added in its final year of 1956.

Inside, he interior is finished in the original color combination of green checkered cloth with white vinyl. The seats are in great condition showing only a few signs of use and age. The dashboard, oor panels also present well and are a testament to the exceptional build quality of these great cars and to the meticulous care it has received over the years.

Under the hood, ou’ll find the 288 cid straight 8 cylinder mated to the later and more automatic “Gear Start” Ultramatic, ffering a new selector sequence on the column shift: ‘D’, or Drive, laced in between High, ow represented with a simple dot, nd Low (PN•DLR). In this new DRIVE range, t would use the low ratio and torque converter to start off, witching to the high ratio and ultimately to direct drive as the car accelerated; effectively automating what many Packard drivers had been doing manually with the older Ultramatic Drive. It also features power steering, ower brakes, ower windows, nder seat heater, anual convertible top, nd the iconic Swan hood ornament. Windshield wipers are currently inoperable. For added eye appeal, 5 inch Kelsey Hayes wire wheels were recently added and are wrapped in American Classic Wide whitewall tires. Also included are service records, eceipts, ervice and shop manuals.

This 50s icon is sure to turn heads no matter where you take it!! It would be an excellent addition to any classic car collection or a fabulous Sunday driver! GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
