G'day Bio,
to PackardInfo.

Even though you intend to sell your '56 Caribbean Hardtop Coupe, I invite you to include it for posterities sake, in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Pease advise when the car is sold and the Registry entry can be marked accordingly.

Another valuation website consisting mostly of auction results:

As has been said here previously- it’s worth what a buyer and a seller say its worth when the title and the money changes hands.

A beautiful Caribbean. Good luck finding the next custodian.

The Caribbean hardtops are indeed fantastic looking cars. The problem with an original car, though, is that the roofs rusted badly. Based on your photos, it appears that your car has suffered that problem. It is not my intention to bash your car, but knowledgable buyers will recognize that. The added value of the low miles and original owner will be greatly offset by the roof problem. At least some of the restorations of these cars entailed cutting the roof off of a parts-car 400 and replacing the whole top.

Good catch! So, we also need more up-close pictures to determine what's going on with the roof

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the input and help. I will send along more photos when the weather cooperates and I can pull the Packard out of the garage.
