1954 Caribbean questions

Posted by Leon "Pete" On 2009/5/29 15:52:55

I am trying to determine whether a recently purchased 1954 Packard Caribbean is in original condition. The body and top are white, which does not seem correct because I believe that the body should be two-tone. The interior is mainly dark brown with some tan, but the door panels sort of have a maroon tint to them.

The cowl tag has a body # of 5478 2085.

The head has 455139 stamped on it.

The middle of the head has a C with an L through it.

The passenger firewall has C68678 on it.

The carburetor has 51532550 on it.

Can anyone help me determine what these numbers mean and what the proper interior/exterior colors are? Is there an area that I can try to look this up on this or another website?

Thank you for any help you can give.
