I heard it the same way as you. First V8 Packard, I didn't remember anything about Caribbean.
Sad that Packard stepping up to OHV V-8 only a few years after Cadillac and Olds didn't save them. I've never had a Packard, but remember my Uncle Ben had maybe a 53 Packard, and while he always had big cars, he later had to settle for Olds 98 then had a couple of Imperials before he passed.
He was my favorite uncle, sort of a bigger-than-life guy as they say. Family story was that he took a load of wheat to town and instead of bringing a check home to grandpa, he brought home a yellow Buick convertible, sometime in the 1920's.
