Good question about the 55 Caribbean engine color. The photos are not that great. All senior engines in 1955 were Packard Cream while the 1956 Senior engines are Packard Bronze. I believe in 55 the standard valve covers are black with cream engine color Packard script. Of course Caribbeans received the 2X4 carb set up with chrome valve covers with no paint on the valve cover Packard script in both 55 and 56. In 56 the valve covers were silver with red script Packard. Hope you enjoy driving your 56 400.
