I have two windshields for 1956 and was told that they were the same for all models. Not true in 1951-1954 but I am not sure for 1955-1956.


Oooooo! Sorry... but this is just not true. I have owned several Caribbeans over the years and a gaggle of other Packards.

1955 and 1956 Caribbean [i]convertible windshields are shorter/different from other Packards of the same time period. This ought to be common knowledge after all these years. So I am surprised to see that people don't know this fact.

I supplied the windshield for the restoration of 1956 Caribbean 5699-1001. I can assure you the convertible windshield is indeed different...AND furthermore, the hardtop and convertible do NOT share the same windshield– no matter how many rumors may claim so. Nor is there a different size for the sedan.

The only differences for the non-convertible 1955-1956 Packards are the tint or no tint and shading.

Let's please, please correct this notion.
