The charismatic Packard Caribbean model was discovered on classifieds. We are talking about a 1954 convertible: this is the rarest specification in the family with a production run of 400 copies. It is stated that the odometer shows 54,200 kilometers. The seller claims that the condition is close to ideal, and there are no technical complaints. Under the hood is a 5.9-liter in-line eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.

The American dreadnought was imported to Russia in 2011, and since then the convertible has had one owner. Packard Caribbean has been cleared through customs according to all rules and is registered. The power is solid for the first half of the 1950s: 212 horsepower was removed from 5883 cubic centimeters. The traction is transmitted to the rear axle through a 2-speed automatic, so the character is measured.

The equipment is rich: there are electrically adjustable seats, power steering, vacuum brake booster, a heater with windshield defogger, power windows and a leather interior. The soft top also adds to the Packard Caribbean’s charm. An important nuance: they want to get 27 million rubles for the car, which is much higher than world market prices.

In the US, authentic cars with low mileage and a proven history are rarely traded above $80,000, and low-volume Caribbean variants from 1954 are no exception. However, in Russia there is essentially no market for Packard cars, so there is nothing to compare with. In addition, the convertible has just appeared on sale, and bargaining may be appropriate.
