A lot of people don't know this, including some current owners I bump into, but the Packard Caribbean had reversible front seats. One side is leather and the other is cloth. Those cars are a very high quality cars for their day. I can't believe how fast they went down hill into the Packabaker era.

Thanks for the great pic..

I'm positive ours had the big Packard hood ornament..sort of a "Winged Victory" IIRC.

My dad worked for Packard after the war, then Packard merged with Studebaker..I remember him bringing home the Silver and Golden Hawks, which I always thought were beautiful cars, far superior to anything else being made in the USA. Raymond Loewey was a design genius. And or course, later on, Studebaker's last gasp..the Avanti. I drove one the first day I got my learner's permit..
