And this is a Standard Convertible - to distinguish it from the 2678 Custom Convertible, otherwise known as the Caribbean. Interestingly, the book says that this model should have three 'jet louvres' under the rear fender spear, but they seem to be missing from this (almost new) car! -- Last edit: 2010-08-20 09:53:07

In these two ads. also can be seen the Convertibles with http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/packard/53pack/bilder/13.jpg and without http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/packard/53pack/bilder/16.jpg the three 'jet louvres' (in parkardinfo page, only the Packard with those three louvres is showed) . The Caribbean had whole uncovered its rear wheel.
