The Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum
Posted by Steve White on Feb 17, 2010
The Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum features one of the most impressive collections of vintage cars on the east coast. It is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of Packard automobiles, and it provides visitors the opportunity to learn about the development of American automobile engineering during the early part of the 20th century.
The museum is housed in an 18,000-square-foot building, and it was designed to resemble a Packard auto showroom from the 1920s. The 22 automobiles that are displayed in the museum represent more than 30 years of Packard Motor Company’s auto manufacturing history, and they are considered some of the finest vintage cars that can be found in the United States. Visitors will get to see a wide range of rare automobiles, including roadsters with golf club compartments, a self-lubricating 645 Dual Cowl Phaeton, and a doctor’s coupe that features a special compartment for medical bag. Other than automobiles, the museum also displays thousands of automobile-related items, and it has a special gallery that is dedicated to President Franklin Roosevelt.
The Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum is located on Packard Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, and it is open from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm on weekdays and 10.00 am to 3.00 pm on Saturday. An admission fee of $8.00 will be charged.
