There are several photos of the Maya's beautiful '56 Carribbean Convertible and many more Caribbean Convertibles and Hardtops on this website in the "Packard Photo Archive". Including all models, there are 261 photos of 1955 and 296 photos of 1956 cars in the Archive. If you have not made the time to browse, enjoy the photos sometime.


Yes, I'm aware. But I'm specifically talking about the original OEM Caribbean convertible tops here rather than pics of whole cars. I've been watching and photographing Caribbeans since they were new. So I have a lot of photos and a very good set of records and a roster of information.

In the 1970s I created a thing I called "The Caribbean Roster" and it was advertised in many of the major old car publications. Via the Roster (my own thing, not a club operation) I collected a very large amount of information on Caribbeans that existed back then and as many records as I could on when they were new, etc. The Roster even had its own logo. Of course a huge amount of these cars have been sold, sold, and re-sold since those days. Some have been scrapped or just plain disappeared.

However, I was surprised to see a 1956 Caribbean at Pebble Beach. Somehow I missed that one... as I have missed attending Pebble or keeping up with the show for several years now.

Thanks.
