Leading the Packard lineup was the luxe Caribbean Convertible, equipped with a 310-horsepower, 374-cubic-inch V-8 featuring dual four-barrel carburetors and topped by the iconic “batwing” air cleaner. Unique features of the Caribbean included standard three-tone color schemes, a full leather interior, a striking ultra-deluxe dashboard layout with a gold-tone textured insert, and a two-tone steering wheel. For 1956, the engine was enlarged to 374 cubic inches and rated at 310 horsepower. Additionally, the cars featured the heavily revised, push-button Ultramatic Drive transmission. Sadly, the 1956 Caribbean was the final convertible ever built by Packard before the company entered liquidation during the summer of 1958.
