Hi

This surfaced on the AACA Forum, the Last 1956 Packard Caribbean convertible #276 offered on Facebook Marketplace:facebook.com/marketplace/item/5043570049 ... _code=null&referral_story_type=post

Probably not the best venue to sell such a rare, desirable. historic Packard.

Interesting sale. Agree on not the best place to sell such an automobile. Furthermore...

• Someone has re-done the interior and made the seat cushions dead flat as a board (they were originally contoured).
• Added white windlace at the doors (should be black).
• Suspension is squatted down in the rear (if the leveler is working, then the Caribbean ought to be sitting level)
• Tires appear to be too small radials with skinny whitewalls.
• Factory air decal is oddly wrapped around the air conditioning muffler assembly (when it ought to be on the radiator splash apron). Why?
• Wrong air cleaner decals stuck in wrong position on top of the batwing (instead of down on top of the pots).
• Anti-short protector guard is missing on the voltage regulator.
• And the wildly ginormous huge aprons on that big top boot are so big they even cover the rear ashtrays! (should be wayyyyyyy smaller).
• Gotta love the Concours sign that repeatedly spells Caribbean as "Carribean"...

...and there are other issues...

Hope it ends up in a good home.
