1956 Packard Caribbean Custom Hardtop Coupe

    James Ward Packard once complained to Alexander Winton about his new Winton automobile. Winton, a successful racer and supercilious auto magnate, challenged Packard to build a better car himself if he could. Packard did. He built the first Packard in 1899 and founded the Ohio Automobile Co. in 1902 but soon renamed it Packard Motor Car Company and relocated to Detroit. It became one of the leading luxury marques for years to come. When it opened in 1903 in Detroit, the 3.5 million square foot Packard plant was considered the most modern automobile factory in the world. Designed by Albert Kahn, it employed craftsmen for over 80 trades.

    Legend has it that a customer once wrote James Packard requesting information about the dependability of his cars. No sales literature yet existed. And Packard didn't have time to reply personally, so he told his secretary to advise the gentleman, 'Ask the man who owns one.' This spontaneous turn of phrase became a legendary Packard advertising slogan.

    The current owner rescued this car from 30 years of storage. It has a push-button transmission along with factory air conditioning, power brakes, steering, and windows along with a 374 CID, 331 horsepower V8. The owner's father had owned an identical Packard in the early 1960s. Early one morning, while parked at home, a drunk driver totaled it.
