The American Packard Museum is in Dayton, just south of downtown. Easy parking. The Citizens Motor Company started in 1917 and sold Packards. A few years ago, the building was purchased and turned into a museum. At first, it was just a place for people to store their Packards. Now, it has blossomed into a fairly large and well done museum. There is the old showroom, the service bays, and an adjacent warehouse building full of Packards. I would guess around 50. I took lots of pictures, here are a few.

Flathead V-12 powered a lot of older Packards.


This woody was hitched to a Cris Craft on a trailer.


The distinctive hood ornament.


There is a huge library with lots of old periodicals, open for browsing.

They don't make land yachts like that anymore. Sad.

I wanted to say that these car suck even though I do not mean it since I like them.

I wish you would take a ride in the back of this one.
