The collection of 65 cars from the Walter P. Chrysler Museum is now primarily displayed for special events at the Chrysler Technology Center and various other facilities operated by FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles).
The Museum's Transformation
The original building that housed the Walter P. Chrysler Museum underwent a significant change. It was subsequently converted into office space. This repurposing of the museum building led to the relocation of its extensive automotive collection.
Current Status of the Collection
Instead of a permanent public display at a dedicated museum building, the historic vehicles are now utilized in a more focused manner. Key aspects of their current status include:
- Display for Special Events: The cars are brought out and exhibited during specific corporate events, anniversaries, or special automotive showcases.
- Locations: Their primary display venues include the Chrysler Technology Center and other designated FCA facilities. This allows the vehicles to remain within the company's purview and be utilized for internal and promotional purposes as needed.
- Preservation: Despite the change in exhibition format, the collection of 65 cars continues to be maintained, preserving an important part of automotive history and the Chrysler legacy.
This shift ensures the collection remains accessible for specific engagements while the former museum building serves a new functional purpose for the company.
