How to be a part of things here

We owe our thanks to many people who have been a part of the Packard Motor Museum over the years. And as the museum remains a much-loved part of people’s lives, we are always interested to hear from anyone who would like to help keep its legacy going.

This museum endures because it has received the support and input of you - the public - local businesses noted below and other organisations.

Taking an amazing hidden collection of this breadth, and successfully turning it into a destination and educational resource for the whole of Northland and New Zealand is no mean feat.

A huge amount of voluntary labour and resources has enabled us to get to where we are currently.

Additionally, we are so grateful for those businesses that simply put their hands up and said, “How can we help?” Some businesses have donated specific items, or labour. Others donate on a regular basis to our volunteer budget, allowing us to reimburse the petrol costs of our volunteers coming in every week to polish and repair and build, organise and clean to improve the presentation of the exhibits.
