Re: 1955 Caribbean Manual Trans.

I have an article on the 54 Pacific, which was available on special order with a weird lavender color (I forget what Packard called it) and even the wheel wells were painted lavender. The author opined that at the time, Packard would do almost anything to sell a car. It would not surprise me if they would accept an order for a manual trans Carib, but the ones I've heard of were converted by the dealer, much like the 56 Golden Hawks equipped with dual quads.
