Vehicle Description
The Packard Caribbean was the most expensive American car in 1955;
it was the top of the class, more expensive than the Cadillac
Eldorado. This particular example is #401 of 500 produced in 1955
and has long-term documented ownership history. It is equipped with
its original matching-numbers 352ci engine with factory dual
Rochester carburetors and factory batwing air cleaner, mated to an
Ultramatic automatic transmission. Equipped with self-leveling
suspension, dual mounted antennas, Wonder Bar radio, tri-tone
leather interior, power windows and seats, it was one of the most
advanced vehicles of its day. It has brand-new Kelsey Hayes chrome
wire wheels riding on wide whitewall tires. Its original factory
steel wheels and hubcaps are in the trunk, sitting with its
original spare tire. The factory exterior color "MAC" combination
is an exquisite tri-color example of Emerald Metallic, Jade Green
and Jade White. It has a highly detailed engine bay and is an
extraordinary piece of automotive history.
