The metallic green paint is particularly pretty and smooth.

Ooooh....very nice! And just for the record, I think all the talk about its tail lights resembling a certain animal anatomy is a bunch of bull.

Man Harv! That is a beautiful Caribbean! I wouldn't mind owning that and one with reverse coloration - metallic green in body with the white on top/rear!!

Mine arrived on Friday. It’s gorgeous. I haven’t had a minute to spend with it yet, I hope this coming weekend.

My green/white also arrived last Friday. A beautiful model with a flawless paint job.

What a great looking Packard Caribbean white metal replica from Brooklin. Nice !

Mine arrived on Friday as well. I love the color combo. Pictures don't quite do it justice although Harv's come really close. Definitely worth the wait.

@john-quilter I have the Automodello along with the Motor City and two Brooklin versions. While I like the 54 Caribbeans I really prefer the 53 with it's radiused rear wheel openings better.

@randyrusk That color is really hard to capture. I may try some more pics sometime with a different background. The turquoisy green is almost iridescent. And I think the white main body offers a nice contrast to the blue/white version.

@mg-harv Iridescent! That’s the word I was trying to come up with. And you’re right. It’s that gleaming iridescence that a photo can’t clearly capture. It’s almost liquid.

@perrone1 Tony, Brooklin did a blue metallic with the blue in front and white in the rear. I just received it along with the green/white.
