Thanks. I've seen Nat Dawes' 55 Caribbean a couple to times, most recently at the PAC National at Gettysburg but in a mental lapse I failed to get the thief-proof and vehicle numbers. The earliest surviving 55 Caribbean listed in Mike Grimes' rather extensive database is #1006. I really should call Nat and get the numbers. His 37? is a curious car, somewhat cobbled together with a bunch of mismatching parts but still interesting. His book is still a great source of info on the Packard company post-war, the data in the appendeces is particularly useful. And if you've not met Nat, you're in for a treat!
