For Sale: 1955 Packard Caribbean in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1955 Packard Caribbean Convertible.

With approximately 500 units produced for 1955 the Caribbean Convertible is one rare wonder. This example is finished in an eye catching color combo of pink and white. As you walk around the vehicle you'll notice nice details like the bullet nosed front end, hood scoops and dual rear ariel antennas.

Under the hood is a 352 cubic inch V8 with two 4 barrel carbs and is paired with a 2 speed automatic transmission. If you're looking for a rare and collectible 50s American exotic this is the one you want to own!
