Afton Station Packard Museum, Automobile museum on Route 66 in Afton, Oklahoma.
Afton Station Packard Museum is an automobile museum housed in a restored 1935 filling station that originally served as an Eagle D-X gas stop. The building displays 18 Packard vehicles across different years and holds Route 66 memorabilia throughout its spaces.
The station opened in 1933 as a fuel stop for travelers heading west, then sat unused for many years before falling into disrepair. Laurel and David Kane rescued the building and opened it as a museum in 1999, giving new purpose to this piece of Route 66 history.
The collection reflects how Packard automobiles shaped American ideas about quality craftsmanship and what people aspired to own. Visitors can see the brand's role in the dreams and daily lives of different generations.
The museum sits directly on Route 66 and is easy to spot from the highway, making it a convenient stop for passing travelers. Staff members provide maps and Route 66 travel information to help visitors plan their journey along the historic road.
The forecourt still displays the original D-X fuel pumps and a vintage sign showing the building once housed an Approved Packard Service dealership. These relics reveal how important this stop was for motorists and travelers passing through in the 1930s and beyond.
