While there are some detractors who refer to the Exec as a desparate attempt by Packard, I think they're a fine use of material. Since the Caribbean was a limited production model, even with the addition of a Hardtop, the Senior/Packard line was a little thin, with only the Patrician and Four Hundred, while some models in the Junior/Clipper line bordered on being redundant. Exec made for a nice transition.

For a little more background, see this site's Model Info page WRT your car:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/modelinfo/viewmodel.php?modelnum=5672A

Just remember the distinction between Junior and Senior elements when referencing the shop manual and parts book, but keep this site's Service Index to supplemental factory information. The latter was especially helpful WRT to recent discussion involving a running change in distributor equipment and specifications.
