Two owners in the last 35 years, I have owned the Packard Caribbean since 1995. All work performed by my company Jaguar Performance Center Inc. since I purchased the Caribbean in 1995. 1,500 miles or less on all rebuilds. This Packard is a great and fun driver; it starts and runs smoothly. You can balance an upright nickel on the cylinder head while idling. Caribbean has all options (Wonderbar Radio, Heater, Power Windows, Power Seat, Power Convertible Top, Power Brakes, Power Steering, and Power Antennae).
What this Caribbean needs:
- new paint job, has lacquer paint that has aged (cracking and chipping).
- new plastic rear window for convertible top
Any questions, “ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE.”
