1956 Packard Caribbean Navigation
This 1956 Packard Caribbean Convertible is one of only 276 convertibles built by Packard Motor Car Company in 1956 and this particular example is one of only 10 equipped with air conditioning from the factory. This is the only car known that was produced with reversible seat cushions. The cloth side was for winter and the leather side was for summer.
The Caribbean was fitted with Packard's most powerful engine; a 310 horsepower, 374 cubic inch, V-8 engine. The car rests on a 127-inch wheelbase and weighs 4,960 pounds. The $5,995 price tag made this model the most expensive model Packard produced in 1956.
The restoration was completed in December 2004 and this is the first time it has been shown. (2005 Amelia Concours).
