2016 Rods, Dubs & Blankets Stop #5: America's Packard Museum

Just a block away from the Taj Ma Garaj, sets another really cool automotive stop. The Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio is housed in a former Packard Dealership. The place oozes cool with lots and lots of dealership Art Deco, as well as many beautiful examples of a lost era of American Automotive history.

After filling our bellies with deliciousness at the Maidrite Sandwich Shoppe in Greenville, Ohio, run participants loaded back into their cruisers and followed each other down State Route 49, onto US 70, and into downtown Dayton, Ohio.

 Our first stop in Dayton is an absolutely incredible place. Still maintained by the wife and children of the late, John Dixon, the Taj Ma Garaj is a true tribute to John's love for automobiles, especially Volkswagens and Porsches.

Well, by the time we had crossed the state line and entered into Ohio, it was almost lunch time. So what better place to make our third stop of the run than the Maidrite Sandwich Shoppe in Greenville, Ohio.

The Maidrite sandwich shoppe dates back to the early 1930's. Lots of folks come from miles away to get a sack full of these delicious loose meat sandwiches.

Not sure when the tradition started, but nearly every inch of the exterior walls of the building is covered with wads of chewing gum left by visitors over the years.
