Here are some remaining pieces of a 1955 Packard Caribbean top.
Looks to be 3 ply fabric, the color side, rubber middle and a silky fine weave top.
See pictures.
Yes. This is very, very common construction for a convertible top of that era and even now. The big difference us usually the outer layer. The inner layer was cotton weave and later, poly-cotton. The middle later is butyl rubber. The silky outer layer for the 1955 Caribbean was Orlon, which, as I have said was changed for 1956.
