53 Caribbean Script

I have been re-living my PACKARD memories (some of the
happiest days of my life); and I enjoy flipping through
the photos of 1953 cars, and it raises a question in my
mind. My 53 Caribbean (2678-2540) had chrome emblems that
said Caribbean in script on each front fender about midway between the door seam and the rear of the front wheel opening. In looking through the photos, I find only one 53 and one 54 with the emblems. Were they not a part on every
new Caribbean? When I had my car, I saw an original advertisement that clearly showed such an emblem. Or is my memory becoming clouded? Just wondering. SVENSK
