Re: 1956 Caribbean Dash Plaques with Original Owner's Name

Thanks for the pictures. The type font on the first two lines of your plate matches that on mine, though the lower two lines are different for the reason explained earlier. I wonder if Authur Slack was related to Lyman Slack who had earlier served on the Packard Board of Directors and was an occasional consultant to Nance in the final years?

Is the plaque from a 56 Caribbean numbered later than 1250? As the story goes, the final 24 (convertibles) were built after the planned production run ended at the request of folks who were influential with Packard's senior management.
