Walter P Chrysler Museum to be converted into office space 12/18/2016
This is a message from a WPC Museum volunteer:
"At 9:00 AM this morning, I participated in a conference call with several other Museum volunteers; the following statement was read to us:
After opening to the public on a limited basis through 2016, I wanted to let you know that the Walter P. Chrysler Museum is being converted into much needed office space with Dec. 18, 2016, being the last day it will be open to the public.
When we reopened the museum for limited weekends this year, it allowed us to expose more people to our rich heritage. As we move into an exciting new chapter at FCA US, rest assured that the Company will preserve and maintain the integrity of our historical vehicle collection. We will continue to show them at internal and external events, and display them around CTC and other facilities.
You have been the true ambassadors for this Company and the thousands of men and women that have been part of it for the past century. We appreciate your volunteerism and passion for our history."
Pretty sad, it is/was a well done, interactive beautiful museum which allowed us to see the concept XF in addition to the concept Firepower. The ability to walk through Chrysler and Dodge history was wonderful.
The annual Chrysler Employees Motorsports Association (CEMA) June car show which attracts nearly 500 cars has lost its venue as well.
All in all a sad announcement.
