The Pacific was the higher class of the two hardtop offerings for 1954, the other being the Clipper Panama. They were both based on the 122 wheelbase Mayfair introduced in 51. The Pacific was a standard assembly line car with no particular handwork involved. The Caribbean was based on the 51 convertible body but with a great deal of handwork to graft on rear fender extensions and hood scoop. The senior style tail lights on the Pacific are the result of adding bolted on adapters.
