About us

The Museum is in an original Packard dealership which was operational from 1917 until 1940. Rogers Pontiac and Davis Buick used the facility as a dealership from 1940 until the 1970’s. From the 1970’s until 1991, Genuine Auto Parts owned the building and used it as a car parts warehouse. In 1991, Robert Signom II bought and restored the property as The Citizen’s Motorcar Company, opening as America’s Packard Museum the following year.
