The mission of America’s Packard Museum is to educate present and future generations about the Packard Motor Car Company, its products, and philosophies. Since 1992, the Museum has been at the forefront of automotive preservation and educating the public, especially children, about design, engineering, history, innovation, and technology. We continue to improve our facilities, expand collections and exhibits, and follow all professional best practices. America’s Packard Museum manages the largest public collection of Packard automobiles and memorabilia in the world. It contains over fifty cars, thousands of parts, and a research library. It is open to the public six days a week and is ADA-compliant. The Packard Motor Company stands as a prominent example of the dynamics of American business, highlighting both accomplishments and challenges over its extensive history. The Museum's collection is thoughtfully curated, featuring significant artifacts from the company’s sixty-year timeline, each selected to convey a unique narrative. Between 1899 and 1956, the Packard Motor Company produced 1.6 million vehicles, while estimates suggest that only about 10,000 of these vehicles remain today.
