America's Packard Museum
America's Packard Museum is the world's only restored Packard Dealership operating as a museum, and the only full-time museum dedicated exclusively to the Packard Motor Car Company, it's products and philosophies.
The museum was founded in 1992 by Dayton attorney and long-time car collector Bob Signom. Located in the original Packard Dealership Building which was built in 1917, the museum has officially taken the name of the original dealership: The Citizens Motorcar Company, but has become known as America's Packard Museum.
The January 1998 edition of Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the Top 10 Museums in America. In 2004, the Society of Automotive Historians conferred the prestigious James J. Bradley Award upon the Museum for its exemplary efforts in preserving motor vehicle resource materials. Only 6 other U.S. museums have received the Bradley Award.
The museum has an assortment of cars on display, representative of Packard’s illustrious history, including Al Capone’s last new car and several Packard concept cars. It also has a number of Packards by Howard “Dutch” Darrin on display.
