About America’s Packard Museum
The Museum is in an original Packard dealership which was operational from 1917 until 1947. Rogers Pontiac and Davis Buick used the facility as a dealership from 1947 until the 1970’s. From the 1970’s until 1991, Genuine Auto Parts owned the building and used it as a car parts store. In 1991, Robert Signom II bought and restored the property as The Citizen’s Motorcar Company, opening as America’s Packard Museum the following year. The collection is a carefully curated gathering of prime examples from the company’s sixty-year history, each chosen to tell a particular story. From 1899-1956, the Packard Motor Company built 1.6 million cars, and collectors estimate only about 10,000 still exist. The Museum manages the largest public collection of Packard automobiles and memorabilia. The mission of America’s Packard Museum is to educate present and future generations about the Packard Motor Car Company, its products, and philosophies.
