This was an interesting and complete museum for all car buffs! Packards are the car of choice and they have a supurb collection! I have been visiting Ft. Lauderdale for over 37 years and it was my first visit to the museum...I highly recommend it. More

Any car buff will want to stop here for a short visit. Also try the Swap Shop on the far-west end of Sunrise Blvd, which has a lot of nice sports cars. More

This is a little gem but hidden away. It took us quite a whlle to find the museum as there are no signs for it or at least none we could find but it was well worth the wait. The museum needs more publicity as we really enjoyed the visit. There are some lovely examples of antique vehicles some of... More

And here I was thinking I knew everything. Boy was I wrong. This was a complete education for me. I saw some old favorites and toned my ego down a notch. So the next time you hear me say " oh look at that 51 mustang" I'll be telling the truth! More

My husband and Father decided to go do this while the girls went shopping and they were gone as long as us. My father lives in the UK and loves cars and they both were very surprised at all the classic cars in there. They highly recommend it. More

I couldn't have imagined a better experience. My wife and went in not knowing what to expect, and came out with a decent knowledge of Packard automobiles. This place is huge, with an impressive collections of Packards. At each turn, there was more and more to view. We received a personal tour from one of the curators, and his knowledge... More

Although this museum is called an "antique car" museum, it's really a museum of Packard cars -- undoubtedly the best such museum in existence. For many decades Packard made some of the finest luxury cars in the world. Over twenty of these magnificent vehicles are on display here, nearly all of them restored to pristine original condition. This museum is... More
