America's Packard Museum

America's Packard Museum is an automobile museum in Dayton, Ohio, displaying more than 50 Packard vehicles from different eras. The collection is housed in a restored Art Deco building that originally served as a Packard dealership and retains its original architectural features.

The building was constructed in 1917 as a Packard dealership and served that purpose during the company's peak years. After Packard production ended, it was converted into a museum in 1991 to preserve the legacy of the legendary automaker.

The museum displays sales literature, parts catalogs, and technical documents from American automotive manufacturing between 1899 and 1958. These collections show how the company marketed its vehicles and evolved its designs over time.

Visitors can explore the building on their own or join guided tours that provide detailed explanations about each vehicle. Professional photographers can arrange special access for photo sessions.

The museum preserves the original Articles of Incorporation of the Ohio Automobile Company, which preceded the Packard Motor Car Company. These founding documents offer a direct link to the earliest chapter of this influential automaker.
