This 54 Packard Caribbean is in Tennessee near Nashville where it is meticulously stored and driven on nice days and special occasions. The car was 100% restored 9 years ago and runs like a champ and still looks pristine. The car shows well and has many awards to its credit. The Caribbean was seen at large car shows in Nashville and then was invited to an inclusive invite only Concours show where it competed against 10 other exceptionalPackard'sfrom this era and it won 2nd place and I bet the shrewd judges had to flip coin between first and second. Everything is correct down to the bias ply tires that drive very well. Mileage shown is correct to car.
The rebuilt the 359 Straight 8 is correct with higher compression aluminum head. The block has over bore.030 and crank was turned .010 and .020. New valves and lifter were installed. This motor makes the Caribbean cruise. Many hard to find NOS parts were located and used through out.
The late Bob Aller of Packard mechanical fame was very instrumental in providing his abundant knowledge of Packards in getting this car correct to factory standards. He rebuilt the transmission and steering components and advised. The interior was done in correct red and white leather with correct seat buttons put in place. The under side is very clean and has a little road dust on it from being enjoyed. All hydraulics and electrics work has should.
The owner’s plans have changed and wants to move this beauty to a new home. No disappointments. You can call 931-432-6377 8-5 Central time with questions or comments I also have video of this car driving I could email. Fly into Nashville and inspect. Sells world wide....
