BDC, OD,

Wondered about this 55 Caribbean as well. It also looks like there is a new gas tank, but the fuel line to the carburetor fuel filter looks like it's rubber run from the passenger side of the car.

Is the steering column different color behind the steering wheel?

I don't see the hood prop rod either.

That listing of the car in Miami had more pictures than the Dallas Craigslist,

And the Chicago Craigslist,

I can see both sides of the coin... on one hand, the price seems about fair based on Hagerty's latest valuation of a #4 Fair car at $43,200, and the $40,000 asking price is just a starting point anyway. But as has been pointed out, it's lacking one of the defining, critical components of the series, the dual-quad setup. But on the other hand, the single four-barrel is a lot easier to live with. If you can find a 1955 (because 1956's were different) complete-with-batwing dual-quad set up for sale, I'm guessing they would be in the $2,000 to $3,000 range?

One thing for certain with this particular car -- you'd have to love pink!

And another certainty -- it should make the next owner very happy indeed!

I may have ridden in the Packard covered passenger bus pictured in the CL ad. If the same one, it was being used to transport spectators and participants from a parking lot to the show field for a CCCA Grand Classic at the Blackhawk Museum in the late 1990s. It was a bumpy ride, but well worth it for the experience. JWL

That stolen Patrician is probably hiding out in a parking lot at the local shopping center cleverly camouflaged by assorted Hondas, Toyotas and various minivans ...

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...
