Many thanks for the replies and ideas, I’ll add those to the list
At about the same time as my original post I also wrote to Chrysler about the current status of the Walter P Chrysler museum
Below is the reply I got …
So at least something good will come of the collection in the future, but unfortunately nothing for us to see in February
Cheers

Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Information Center. Your email is important to us.
It's great to hear of your positive feedback and interest in all things Chrysler.
I do regret to advise the Walter P. Chrysler museum has been closed. Its assets were sold to the Chrysler Foundation, a charitable arm of Chrysler Group, LLC.
While FCA US LLC Headquarters located in Auburn Hills Michigan is not open or available for public tours, the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, the former production home of the iconic Dodge Viper, will get a second life as an internal meeting and display space that will showcase the Company’s concept and historic vehicle collection.
Renamed Conner Center, the former manufacturing facility, tucked in a Detroit neighborhood just south of the famed 8 Mile Road, will have space to exhibit 85 of the nearly 400 concept and historic vehicles that will now be stored onsite under one roof. Previously, the Company’s extensive collection was housed in several locations. This move will allow us to house all of our collection under one roof and have the space to share that history with our employees.
It is expected that the facility, built in 1966, could also open its doors to the public in the future, however at this time, there has been no announcements as such.
We appreciate your interest and I have taken the liberty of logging your feedback. Comments like yours are always a welcomed and important way of getting feedback and helps providing the greatest possible satisfaction for customers.
You are always welcome to call us directly with any further questions at the Chrysler Product Information Center by calling 1-800-247-9753.
Thanks again for your email.
Sincerely,
Jeff
