Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

question on Packard Caribbean Sterling Silver keys, I know that the 54 Caribbeans came with a set of keys with special Sterling Silver caps on them with "Packard Caribbean" on one side and the original owners name on the reverse. The 54 Caribbean sales brocure mentions these keys and I have a 54 Caribbean that came with these but was wondering if the 55 or 56's possbly came with these also? thanks!

How about a picture of the keys. I had not heard of them before.

I will post some, thanks!

I will post photos soon, per additional research this appears to be a 1954 Caribbean only feature

While we're on the subject of keys for the 55-56 V-8's...does anyone know whether the keys actually existed as pictured in some of the 1955 advertisements? The "Take the key and see" ads showed a circle-and-vee motif on the key. I am curious as to whether these keys ever existed or were they just something the ad agency conjured up. Every key I've ever seen was just a "Packard Motor Car Company" Briggs and Stratton version.
