Packard introduced the Caribbean in 1953. Only offered in a convertible, these cars were elegantly appointed for the time period. The Caribbean’s started out life as Packard Cavaliers which were then modified by the Mitchell-Bentley Corporation in Iona, Michigan. For the 1953 Model year, Packard produced 750 Caribbeans. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a rare Packard.
