About this listen
In this episode of Stickerdick’s Garage, host Mark Richardson returns with a special guest lineup—Bill Warner, founder of The Amelia, and Rob Signom, Executive Director of America’s Packard Museum. Step inside the story of Packard, from its roots as a symbol of luxury and innovation to its pivotal role in iconic land speed records and WWII engineering. Discover the legacy of the 1903 Packard Gray Wolf, one of the first aerodynamic race cars, and learn how Packard engines powered both legendary cars and war-winning machines like the P-51 Mustang and PT boats.
Hear Rob’s personal family history restoring a 1928 Packard, his insights balancing preservation with creativity in the collector world, and how America’s Packard Museum keeps history alive for new generations. The conversation dives into unique car features (like the ingenious mechanical radiator louvers), the drama of the La Carrera Panamericana rally, and Packard’s ambitious but turbulent last decades—including partnerships with Studebaker and Mercedes-Benz.
