Re: 1955 Carribean hardtop

Back in the early 1990s, there was a 1955 Caribbean "hardtop" on display in the Studebaker Museum - as part of a Packard celebration, featuring the freshly-restored Predictor as its centerpiece.

This "hardtop" had the correct Caribbean hood and side trim, but no Caribbean script plates (or even any holes for them) on the front fenders. Can't say about the engine as hood was down. Seats were upholstered in leather, color-matched to the white/rose/gray exterior tri-tone paint scheme, but I couldn't inspect the interior in full detail as car was roped off.

The vehicle was on loan to the museum. I seem to recall the owner name shown on the info card was "Lyons", but my memory may be fuzzy on that detail.
