1955 Packard Caribbean Custom Convertible

  • Chassis Number: 55881258
This Caribbean Convertible has a tri-tone exterior finish and is powered by a 352 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 275 horsepower and breathing through a dual Rochester carburetor and the iconic 'batwing' air cleaner. There is a Twin-Ultramatic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front seat, seat belts, an AM radio, and dual power-operated radio antennas. In 2006, new leather interior upholstery was fitted at a cost of approximately $14,000. There are wide whitewall tires, chrome-plated wire wheels, and dual exhaust outlets.

In 2009, this Packard Caribbean was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $60,000-$80,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $63,800, including the buyer's premium.
