WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1976, Motor City Packards is a Michigan-based club for enthusiasts of the Packard Motor Car Company and its products. Though we operate primarily out of the Detroit metropolitan area, home of Packard, we have members across the nation and around the globe.

Motor City Packards is one of the largest and most active chapters of Packard Automobile Classics (the Packard Club).

Motor City Packards offers its members camaraderie as well as historical insight and technical know-how. We hold regular social events, and publish The Packard Digest newsletter six times a year. You do not need to own a Packard to join!
