The Pacific was a 2 door hardtop and while it was designated a senior it was on the shorter body. Chrome trim on the side is different having short strips instead of the single piece chrome spanning the distance between the long pieces. To use senior horizontal tail lights on the formerly vertical taillight junior body, the lenses were housed in a chrome pod which wrapped around the side to duplicate the wider contour. The regular convertible followed the same styling theme while the Caribbean convertible kept the grafted on tail section making the body longer while still using the horizontal tail lights.
