Regarding Caribbeans, don't I know it!
This one is about two blocks from me, and although it says "Call for pricing", I think the last time it was on eBay they had it starting at $42,500.
There was a regular '53 ragtop in the Packardinfo classifieds this summer that had an initial asking price of $26,000; and sedans I've seen in similar condition have all been advertised around $7000. I think your 3:1 ratio for the drop tops holds true.
Next down on my list is a '54 Pontiac Star Chief convertible, but from appearances, the Pontiac is about half the car for half again as much money as a Packard.
I'm patient, anyway. I can't even dig the Camaro out of the barn until we've moved, so it probably won't officially go up for sale until next spring.
