I have read that wire wheels were an option for the 1955-1956 Packard Caribbean. Is this true...


Yes, chrome wire wheels were an option for the Caribbeans. They were also available as a dealer accessory. Go this way to expand on. Special thanks to Brian Harpst (BH) for all his research work for this content.
This source claims to know that wire wheels came $325.
