I purchased one installed it with new sending unit used old straps used cardboard box it came in as mat to lay on . Easy job did not even need to jack up car just use ramps. Put piece of plywood on my floor jack tank on it raised jack to correct height. Did add external ground from tank to frame gauge works correctly put in five gallons gauge read 1/4 added another five gallons gauge reads 1/2 was satisfied with entire purchase and product. Only took about half hour to put on wish all jobs on old cars was this easy.

From what Randy had told me the 55 56 Caribbean used a different windshield than other models . Parts book lists different number for 5588 ,5699 models clear heat absorbent and blue heat absorbent. other models are all different numbers. They are hard to locate

After reading tis looked at my/ RANDY'S Caribbean one side has under coat the other side painted steel. Wondered the under coating sometimes called muffle coat would help keeping car quiet. Always thought a nice piece of polished stainless would look nice there. As I remember the 50s Buick Skylark conv had that area painted a contrasting color as were brake drums

To me I can't see any reason not to use aftermarket mirror on this era of cars. Most all were sold without a factory installed mirror. Some Caddys came with adjustable mirror that came thru door. All mirrors from this time period were of little real value especially on passenger side. I think most were installed for the bling effect. I think a lotof dealers used mirrors the got from part stores To each his own not a big deal to me

We had similar weather here 59 when I got up and 21 when at 11PM As my grandfather use to say normal winter if you don't like wait a day or two. Being optimistic moved snow blower to back of garage and mower near door in prep for spring . Soon time to get cars ready for cruise season he said wishing and hoping
