This is a beautiful, 1953 Packard Caribbean convertible in great condition inside and out. This is a true, survivor that has withstood the test of time. This beauty has been pampered all its life and it shows! With this being 1 of only 750 Packard Caribbean?s built in 1953, makes this an incredibly rare find. It has been a one family owned car up until 1988 with only 43K original miles it. The car very original, except for one repaint in its original color several years ago. This Packard in my opinion is "One of the nicest, unmolested with '53 Caribbean's around, offered for sale"!
This car was sold new at Pioneer Packard in Greensburg, PA on 8/31/1953. It even has the original dealers business card, owner identification card, owners service policy and owners manual. The car was in the same family until 1988. It was very well cared for its entire life and keep indoors. A mostly original 1953 Packard is almost unheard of any more and truly a once in a great while find!! This car also runs and drives like a dream. Again it has never been messed with so it drives like it did in 1953. I've driven body off restored cars that don't drive as nice as this one does here!!
It was ordered in Gulf Green metallic with a White top, which is one of the prettiest colors, offered in 1953 with a matching green and white interior. This car retains all its original sheet metal and is completely rust free and solid as rock. You will not find a cleaner body anywhere. She has a beautiful, interior that looks amazing right down to the original carpet! The seats have been redone at one time and look great. I have had the privilege of selling many of these cars but have rarely come across one as nice and original as this one here!
This is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This Gulf Green beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1950's and 1960?s. Nothing beats the fun of driving a '53 Packard Caribbean!!!!!
