A narrated tour would be even better, I had some models that I was very interested in but have no idea what they were. Also what was the DMC DOING IN THE PACKARD MUSE7M?
I visited this museum about 15 years ago. It was closed for a private event, but people at the event welcomed me with open arms. I found it to be unique. It originally was a Packard dealership.
My first car was a 1955 Packsrd Patrician. Drank gas, but was a lot of fun with the load leveling suspension. A Chrysler New Yorker was sitting in the rain and the Packard garaged. I got one helluva deal!
My sons and I spent a few days in Dayton in July, 2003 for the airshow celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the first flight of the Wright Brothers, who were of course native sons of Dayton. We did a lot of things in and around Dayton, including a side trip to Auburn, Indiana to visit the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg museum. We knew about the Packard museum and even drove by it a couple of times, but, unfortunately it was never open when we went by it
Thanks. Great cars! I visited the museum a few years ago when my kids attended the University of Dayton. If I'm in Dayton again, I'll plan to visit. I thought this museum had closed so I'm glad to learn it's still open.
My buddy's dad bought a new all-black '55 sedan. It sure stood out in our southwest side of Detroit neighborhood. It just oozed with class. Just a few years ago a friend of mine bought a mint '50 2-door from an original owner family in Ohio. Gorgeous car. Back in the day they were THE car to own.
Seems like it was one of those really big Packards, like the Patrician or perhaps the 400 Hardtop, as a few of them came in all black colors. As one commnetor once proclaimed about one of them: "That was a really big boat". No wonder a car like that stood out in the local neighborhood!
I visited the Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio and had no idea there is one in Dayton. Looks like I just added another stop to my bucket list. Thanks for posting the video!
@@jessechapmanphotography You will love it. My favorite Packard at that museum is the one Howard Hughes bought his fiance, but she didn't like the color. So, he parked it in a warehouse and left it there for years.
I visited in 2016, excellent museum. I remember seeing Al Capones Packard there. Do they still have the 1 of 1 Packard/Studebaker hawk convertible? It stated it'd never been titled, prototype I think? It was powered by a 289 cid supercharged V8.
I visited this museum about five years ago. Very worthwhile. If you are in the area be sure and make time for this and the USAF Museum. If you are doing both, allow two days.
The USAF Museum is the largest of it's kind in the world! If you're into planes beware, it will take more than a day to see it all! So Awesome. Remember, the Wright Bros. were from Dayton. The Imax and gift store may get you to open your wallet, but the rest...no charge.
Honestly I think Packard engineering was on par with Dusenberg, maybe not but they were both top of the heap back then, redundant systems, automatic chassis lubrication, etc. amazing for back then actually.
I just want to say the background audio for this video is quite awesome. This is some backrooms, liminal space, ASMR kind of stuff. Very atmospheric. Just play that over a loud speaker in an abandoned mall or something like that.
That's the idea! As I continue to film I will always just use whatever ambient sound the location gives, I'm not a fan of including music or voiceover. Thanks for watchin.
We also visited this museum. Pretty amazing. Your video started with the docent echoing with a Packard history lesson in the background. Would have been fun to have that recorded separately and overlayed on your walk around video.
My mother worked for a Detroit leaf spring manufacturer and told me (many times), "Cadillac always bought our cheapest springs. Packard always bought the best."
My dad was A steel executive and he told me that the big 3 told Packard they would give them all their limousine business if they would quit building regular cars. Packard built the best limousines if they would have done this they would still be in business
I'd heard of the Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio, but did not know about this one. Would be appreciated if you put an address in this video. I'd like to go to Dayton.
It's definitely still worth a visit! Theres a ton of detail on the cars to still see. They also have a huge collection of books, articles, and awards on display.
What is the point of this video if you're not going to tell us anything about the cars you are showing? Beautiful cars, would like to know more about each one.
Have you visited America's Packard Museum? What did you think?
Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for watching.
Yes I visited with my stepmom in April 2022 and missed my college application deadline. I’ll never forget that day!
Good choice, that's the one I would have made!

Beautiful
Stunning collection. Thanks for making this video.
Many more vids to come, I'm just getting started!

Very interesting video I will always remember Packard as in 1958 I learned how to drive in a Packard it was a old model probably 1937-8

went there with my dayton corvair club a few years back...nice museum

Hoping to drive up there this summer. Awesome cars.

And I only found out about the other one when I researched this place! Have fun. I still need to go to the one in Warren.

Very cool! There's a 39 Packard 2 dr sedan in my dad's stash of projects. It's in rough shape and torn apart at the moment.
Sweet, hope he can find all the parts needed, bet that's not easy. Thanks for watchin!
@@jessechapmanphotography I'm getting into to his projects this year. So I'll be going through everything to see
Nice, good luck!
.. nice current look around .. Thanks .. I want to look around the library sometime they locked the door when I tried B4 ..
Definitely, it's pretty neat. Sorry I didn't step inside during filming! Lol. Glad you enjoyed.

I've lived in Dayton most of my life and I had no idea this museum was here! lol I'm def going to check this out!
Definitely go if you can, this place is awesome!
How did the DeLorean get in there?
@@Fred-kz5xh I would like to know that too, I guess one of the contributors owned it, so there it is _ looks very odd being there though.
Excellent effort Jessie. You should return, with some notes on each Marque, engine size, HP, speed and value. Subscribed.
Honestly I think Packard engineering was on par with Dusenberg, maybe not but they were both top of the heap back then, redundant systems, automatic chassis lubrication, etc. amazing for back then actually.
i had a delorian sp in my driveway once, i didn't even go outside to look at it, lol

I suppose that in their day these cars were exorbitantly expensive but they really are wonderful to look at.
Yes, they were very heavily targeted to the rich lol. I plan on touring the British transportation museum in dayton soon.
What a car. Read the book about the Packard..... "Ask the Man Who Owns One" ....btw.....No shortage of ostentatious hood ornaments.
Great video! I’m hoping to visit this summer. But how did you get the footage; I thought filming wasn’t allowed at the Packard Museum?
Hopefully American cars will look like some of those styles again. If not people will 3d print their own.
We also visited this museum. Pretty amazing. Your video started with the docent echoing with a Packard history lesson in the background. Would have been fun to have that recorded separately and overlayed on your walk around video.
Definitely would be cool, unfortunately he was just doing a short preliminary presentation to the people behind me. The rest is self guided.

What is that exotic-looking car with the rear-engine? It looks quite a bit like a Delorean, with its stainless steel skin and gullwing doors.

I love packard. Brasil
packard was the first car to offer factory air conditioning--1940.

@@johnbenet5394 Don't know about that John. The big three also lied about things .
Didn’t Eisenhower have a Parkard during WWII? Maybe another general.
I'd heard of the Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio, but did not know about this one.
Would be appreciated if you put an address in this video. I'd like to go to Dayton.
Thanks for watching! The address is 420 S Ludlow St, Dayton, OH 45402.
I'll definitely think to add addresses in the description of future videos.
Wouldn’t be fun to ride around in this car?

richie rich car Sir
Beautiful museum with beautiful cars. So why fork over $10 when you see everything you need to see on TH-cam?
It's definitely still worth a visit! Theres a ton of detail on the cars to still see. They also have a huge collection of books, articles, and awards on display.
Had you shown the sinage before the car, we would have known what we were looking at!!
My husband wants to know any packardbakers there
Where is the rare Packard Hawk???
What is the point of this video if you're not going to tell us anything about the cars you are showing? Beautiful cars, would like to know more about each one.
I hear you but I do travel location walkthroughs, not documentaries.
Would be far more interesting with commentary or captions about the cars
It looks like they are all convertibles.
très belle voiture mais la plupart de la video est trop sombre
