America's Packard Museum
America's Packard Museum is an automotive museum in Dayton, Ohio. It sits in the former Citizens Motorcar Company dealership, which began selling Packards in 1908 and moved into this building in 1917. In 1991, Robert Signom II purchased the building and restored it to its original Art Deco look. The 20-foot Packard sign at the corner of Ludlow and Franklin Streets was reinstalled for the museum's grand opening in 1992. The museum has grown and earned honors, including the James Bradley Award from the Society of Automotive Historians in 2004 and a nod as one of Car Collector magazine's Top Ten automotive museums in the United States.
More than 50 cars are on display, ranging from early Brass Era models to the 1930s and 1940s streamlined classics, the 1950s Packards, as well as war vehicles, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature. A notable highlight is the original Articles of Incorporation of Ohio Automobile Company, which later became Packard Motor Car Company.
In 2019, Robert Signom III was named curator to continue the museum's work started by his father. America's Packard Museum is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The museum is located in Dayton, Ohio.
