Topic starter  

of '55 or '56 Packard Caribbeans. As far as the models go, FM's '55 convertible, a Pebble Beach LE , was well done for its time but shows lower tech compared to the newer DM '56 hardtop and with so many fun features, the comparison is hardly fair.

The DM is a gorgeous model IMHO.

Beautiful pairing, your usual FABULOUS shots!

 

Since FM's (Have it, LOVE it) is a drop top, I'd compare to DM's convertible and choose that one. I display the three of them together. DM's convertible:
