1954 Packard Caribbean Custom Convertible

VIN: 54782183

1954 Packard Caribbean Convertible, model 5478. Distinctive two-tone black and white exterior with a black fabric power convertible top. 359 cubic inch L-head inline 8-cylinder engine under the hood, paired with a 700-R4 automatic transmission with overdrive, combining vintage charm with practical drivability for modern cruising. The restoration is well-maintained, with minor stress marks on the paint and some small imperfections typical of a classic car of this age. Beautiful chrome details, including bright headlight bezels, grill, spoked wheels with Packard center caps, and wide whitewall radial tires. The interior matches the exterior's two-tone theme, featuring black and white upholstery, power windows, with seat belts up front. The dash retains its original style. The black fabric convertible top operates via a simple push-pull lever under the dash, raising and lowering smoothly, and the rear plastic window remains clear with minor assistance needed to fully close the rear side glass. Note under the ignition key is a push botton for starting, be sure to also have the fuel pump toggle turned on (drivers kick panel). Brakes are in good shape with about 70-80% pad life remaining, though a minor wheel cylinder seep has been noted at the left rear. The engine bay is clean and mainly stock appearing, with a battery disconnect switch installed for storage. On the road the car performs smoothly and quietly, showcasing its luxurious ride quality, solid construction, effective brakes, and responsive automatic transmission with working kickdown.
