AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is permanently its Walter P. Chrysler Museum, so that the building can be converted to "much needed" office space, the company said. 

The museum reopened in June, and will continue to be open on select weekends through Dec. 18. 

"The company will continue to preserve its historical vehicles and will showcase them at internal and external events including being on display around the Chrysler Technology Center and other FCA US facilities," FCA said Friday in an emailed statement. 

Located on FCA's Auburn Hills campus, the museum showcases the beginning of Walter P. Chrysler's namesake automobile company and its subsequent evolution. 

Its displays include vehicles such as a 1924 Chrysler B-70 Phaeton, a 1943 Willys Overland Jeep, a 1970 Dodge Challenger and a 1986 Chrysler Town & Country, to name a few.

You can see photos inside the museum in the gallery above from when MLive toured the facility last spring.

If you want to check out the museum before it closes, admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $6 for youths ages 6-17. Children 5 years and under get in free. The full schedule can be seen here.
