I'm fairly close to the museum, but not very involved. It's a very nice museum in one of Packard's original buildings in downtown Dayton. There isn't anyone paid to search for parts, which are located on the second floor. Volunteers like me sometimes go there to help find for those in need.
There are two buildings, filled with many, many Packards. It's worth a visit if you're in the area. Check hours that they open before heading out.
There are some very significant cars in the collection, including the original Grey Wolf (original being used loosely), at least three Darrins, 1941 LeBaron sport sedan, a 1930 734 Speedster, the original prototype speedster (1928-29), etc. Several WWII engines of all sizes. Quite a few postwar cars as well.
Too many for me to remember and list.
