VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
Original owner was my great uncle. The car was last driven/registered in 1961 and parked in a garage its entire 'slumber'. The car passed to his wife, my great aunt after his death. The Caribbean was again passed to my mother after my great aunt's passing, and then to my father after my mother's death. In 1984 the car was started and moved from one garage to another where it sat another 36 years until the passing of my father in 2020. 59 years of slumber with one afternoon in the sun. The car has been entrusted to me and I intend on waking her up for car shows and parades. The Caribbean was pulled onto a trailer after airing up the 8.x15 goodyear tires and moved to Florida for some time in the sun. Come on girl, it's time to wake up.
