Here is a trashed '56 400 with really good sheetmetal. Car is located in CA, but seller is only asking $2,500. Lots of good parts here that could be used on a Caribbean. The front fenders look really straight:

Here's another one, also in CA:

Ayden, almost forgot. These two hulks of cars are both 400's in Central City PA. Not sure the one would be worth dragging home, but we could probably pick up the other for pretty cheap.

If the passenger side is pretty good Then we can cut that off and I can weld it onto the Caribbean, Plus, have a little extra sheet metal.
I can’t wait to hear back about those 56 fenders, though those will be nice to have put to the side.

The two Packards near Central City are mine. The one is just the floor plan and roof from a very rust free car I used during my restoration….the other is a parts car I picked up with the .Caribbean I restored.
The quarter panel on the passenger side is better than the one shown in your pictures and if you want to remove the quarter, it is free. Sorry I do not have a picture.
Just give me a call.
I am reluctant to sell the whole car until I give up on the .Caribbean.
You may be better off to look at the California car or check with Mike Dulinsky for something close to rust free .
If you want to remove the quarter , let me know.
Call evening (814) 248-9140
Good luck with your project …mine was a 7:year effort.

No problem…just surprised to see the picures on Forum. The cars are sitting at my friend ‘s garage( Joe/point). He did the bodywork and paint on the Caribbean there.
Last week I got a note that pictures of y Caribbean were posted on Facebook by someone.

Yeah, I wouldn't have posted that if I knew they were yours. I heard Joe might be willing to let one of his nice cars go, so I figured "his" parts car might be available too.
