Go ahead and post away, West, the photo was already in the Packard Info photo library. It was just easier last night to send you the scan I had made of the original print than it was to find the URL.

Hi West, I don't have the measurements, but I have a few photos of the rear window of the 1955 Caribbean I sold last year, and which still had the original top. I think there are also some factory photos of the 1955 Caribbean in the PackardInfo library (I had submitted them) that might be closer to being square-on, so they could be easier to work with do some mathematical scaling.
I know who to contact at the PPG regarding the blueprints; if you want to pursue that, I can PM you the info to get ahold of him directly. Also, Joel Ray has probably one of the most carefully restored 1956 Caribbeans on the planet. You could always reach out to him and ask if he would mind taking a measurement for you. Sorry this is becoming frustrating, but we're all here to help if we can!

Just a random musing -- it seems like there are more Caribbeans nowadays don't have the "Custom Made" plaque than those that do. I'm assuming that either the original owners did not install them, or else subsequent owners removed them?
If you're instrument panel shopping, make sure you get one with the gold mesh insert in very good condition, and also a very good dash pad. Both with cost you a pretty penny if they need to be redone.

I enjoy seeing the Packard dealer badges also. Here is a metallic dealer decal that came on my 1955 Packard.
