Re: 1955 Carribean hardtop

I just got done looking over prior club rosters from both the PAC and PI. I saw nothing in the PAC published rosters, all the way back to 1999, that indicated there were any '5587 Caribbeans'. I did however find one indication in the 2005 PI roster, that a '1955 5587 Caribbean' was owned by a man in Texas in 2005. That same person also listed a 1953 Caribbean as being owned. By the 2007 PI roster update, that same Texas man no longer listed the '1955 5587 Caribbean' but he continued to list the 1953 Caribbean. Would be interesting to see what happened to his 5587 hardtop? I'm sure a man that owns a 1953 Caribbean, really knows much about all Caribbeans. His insight would be interesting.

Reference this present car. It showed up in google search at Mecum auction at previously. Now it is with Daniel Schmidt & Company on the auction circuit via ebay.

Lastly, looking over the published rosters of PI & PAC, it is apparent that PAC uses "forced choices or selections" to consolidate the information gathering. PI's method however allows for more individual owner interpretation and information submission. And then there is the registry here at Packardinfo which puts them all to rest! Keep up the good work Mal.
