Visited for the first time yesterday, amazing museum. Discounted rate ($5) for seniors and some amazing Packard cars and other items. Packard also made aircraft engines in WW1, and WW2 as well as PT boat engines, and later even jet engines. The cars were amazing and most of them are in running shape. They are shown at a number of car shows around the US. The building seen at left is the original dealership in Dayton. Some of the cars have an amazing history. The car at very bottom for instance was the last car owned by the gangster Al Capone. If in Dayton for a visit, this is a must see and a wonderful place to explore the cars and other items from the era of Packard.
