Thanks much!
On my roster, I last show your 5699 Caribbean #26 owned by a person In Pennsylvania in 1993. This car was originally delivered VIA Earle C. Anthony's distributorship to Packard La Brea dealership in Los Angeles, California. Somewhere I still have license plate frames for Packard La Brea (see the photo). My records show the car as color code MES with code 92 interior.
Regarding 5699 1011, this Caribbean was also in Pennsylvania as of 1993. It was originally delivered to Central Motors in Akron, Ohio. I also have it listed as MES/92. It woud be very interesting to see how the underseat heater was fitted and positioned with the special Caribbean seat.
Regarding 5697-1249... thanks much again! Sad to hear this one was scrapped.
Yes I have kept records on all Caribbeans. I started doing this so long ago that my records (until recent years) were all on 3 x 5 paper index cards. Here is how it looked in 1977-78 (see pic). I also have an actual letter file of correspondence between Caribbean owners all over the world and myself. This file covers roughly about 30 years. I saved all of these letters and still have the file packed away today.
And until I was robbed several years ago, I had a collection of perhaps 150 (or more) Packard serial plates, mostly 1955-1956. These plates had been saved from scrapped cars over the years. A good friend of mine for many years ran hotlines for most of the junkyards on the western end of the country. Every time a Packard came into one of the yards, I usually heard about it... and got them to save the serial plates for me. So whoever stole my Packard collection has a pile of the plates.
Where are you located?
