The Packard Caribbean first appeared in 1953, built by the Mitchell-Bentley Company, which had been engaged by Packard to convert 750 standard convertibles. With a highly desirable design and luxurious appointments, the Caribbean Convertible represented the ultimate expression of Packard quality, luxury and style. This 1954 model cost $6100 when new and featured a robust 212 hp 359 ci straight-eight engine with a four-barrel carburetor, mated to a 2 speed Ultramatic transmission.

I looked on line for how much Novas sell for these days and was shocked at the high prices.

me too

mine was similar to that one
Gray/silver - same hood and grill
didn't have the chrome trim up that high, was on the bottom of the body and much wider

I always preferred the 67 & 68 Camaro body styles
They are also very expensive

Those were some ugly cars. The Benz should not have been included. Not the same class at all. And yeah, the 190 was the Cimmeron of Benz.
