Though the 1956 Caribbean convertible roster as pubished in the CNB back in 1987 indicates two were built with single color paint code N, by reviewing the build slip data I can only identify one, car # 121. In total, there were 31 single color 1956 Caribbean convertibles, 25 in two-tone.
Car #121 had trim code 96, red and white leather/grey cloth and white leather

No, I don't. Later this evening unless someone beats me to it I'll check the roster of Caribbean survivors to see if it has survived. Back in 1987 it was listed as "unknown".
Update. #121 was an export car delivered to Bergen, Norway. According to my latest info, it has not survived.

Owen , I see that you are a wealth of knowledge on Caribbean’s , thanks again for the info and it makes the car even cooler to me that it is the only known survivor in that color .

I've maintained a keen interest in the 1956 Caribbean convertibles, I owned #254 for better than 20 years, just sold it in 2019.
