1956 Packard Caribbean Convertible

One Of 276 Built

  This fine Packard is in very good condition. It was restored during the late 1970's and has been driven only a few miles since that time. The engine has been completely rebuilt. The Twin Ultramatic was rebuilt by a Packard Dealership transmission specialist. The front suspension, brakes, exhaust system (stainless steel mufflers and resonators) and steering were rebuilt with all new parts. The load leveler motor and gear case are new. The factory chrome wire wheels and tires are as new. The car has N.O.S. front fenders. All of the chrome trim was replated, the stainless steel trim has been polished and the paint is smooth and shiny with a few blemishes. There are too many new parts to list here. Receipts for virtually all parts and labor going back over 30 years are on hand.  The car is not perfect.  The chrome along the bottom edge of the rear bumper is peeling. The trunk lid requires adjustment for a better fit to the body. There is some perforation along the rear edge of the trunk floor, a small hole in the driver's side floor, some small areas just above the lower edges of the doors need attention etc. The remainder of the underbody is very solid and clean. Although the car is started regularly, but has not been driven for some time, it will likely require some mechanical attention such as a front end alignment, brake adjustment etc. I will be glad to answer your questions, provide further details, more photos and invite serious buyers for a personal inspection at the car's location in Massachusetts.
