The Packard Caribbean was produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, during model years 1953 through 1956. It was produced only as a convertible from 1953 to 1955, but a hardtop model was added in its final year of 1956.
Model year 1955 saw the Caribbean line, now with V8 engine, fully adopt the Senior Packard line styling; the car was also available in two or three-tone paint patterns. Designer Richard Teague succeeded in restyling the old Packard Senior body into a sensational, modern-looking design. The single hood scoop was split into two units. The car also received Packard's torsion level suspension. Production for 1955 stood at 500 units.
