At the end of December. The 501 (c) (3) Chrysler museum Foundation will cease to exist and the Museum will be closed to the public.The facility will be stripped of the displays convertible rental car and converted to corporate use.
As a former staffer, this is very disheartening. The museum was a first-class operation in the first 8 years of operation under former City of Detroit Historical Department (Detroit Historical Museum-Fort Wayne) Director Barry Dressel.
A Big 3 museum downtown would be great. It would be very expensive with the climate controls and security compared to the revenue it would generate. I assume Ford and GM have large inventory in storage somewhere. Does it ever come out? There's lots of empty space in the Ren Cen if GM wanted to display more of its history.
As part of the Packard Club National Meeting coming to Detroit next June I was planning an event there. Last August I signed a contract, ran through the details and hired one of their approved caterers. Then a week later I received a phone call apologizing that they had to cancel convertible rental car the contact as they, would be doing renovations and could not promise that the museum would be back open by the time of our event.

It has much of the criteria for a museum.... top quality materials and details, it's massive long front on the west side of Cass Park LOOKS LIKE A MUSEUM, it has plenty of space, and it's where all the great museums of Detroit are... in the Midtown area.

Richard convertible rental car Kughn tried to put that together at the Michigan Central Train station convertible rental car in the early 80s, he envisioned a museum in the grand concourse areas and developing the offices upstairs convertible rental car into a business center. The young administration turned a cold shoulder to it. He tried to turn it into a casino when gambling came to town and the Archer administration convertible rental car turned a cold shoulder to the idea--nope--the new casinos HAD to be on the riverfront, where we (the city) is buying/clearing all this land...................................
Big yes to a big 3 auto museum somewhere in the middle of the city. That would work and be a draw for the city. And yes to concept cars - would love to see that, though I think they tend to destroy them? Could be amazing and showcase an important convertible rental car part of Detroit's relevance.
I've never been inside... so when you mention added on walls removed ... would that be a plus or a minus? Well it would be a minus in the cost area, but I'm more interested in if it would work aesthetically/functionally if they were removed? Were those walls of which you speak added later, or are you talking about removing walls original to the building?
Seems like a Big 3 Auto Museum would make a great tourist attraction convertible rental car and bring people to Detroit. It's too bad the idea has never taken off. Not even just Big 3, how about the American Auto Museum with examples from the early manufacturers that went out of business. That would be something people convertible rental car from all over the world would come to see.

You would most likely need to gut the place to do this. Its an office building. I've been to the museum in Auburn. It was built for a small auto manufacturer, not as the HQ of the largest discount Department Store of the time.

They should have the Detroit Historical Museum take this over as their main building (with auto museum)... convertible rental car and be able to show their vast collections. I bet their historic clothing convertible rental car collection could take up part of an entire floor. They could use their Woodward location for special exhibits and the early years of Detroit's convertible rental car history.
I worked in that building for several years. It does not really look like a museum inside. The first floor is two loooong hallways on each side of the central corridor with offices on either side. There is a lot of elegant wood, wainscoting, doors, moldings. There is a light well in the center of each side of the building so even the interior offices have windows. The space from the hall to the windows is not all that wide, maybe at most 30 feet. I don't know how many of the crossways walls were bearing walls, but inside convertible rental car the suite where I worked, it was all partitions, maybe we had 60 feet total in length. I was inconvenienced with a broken hip during part of that time and it was really hard to get into that building from the parking lot, through the utility entrance, up a loooong flight of stairs, down those looong hallways. The front has just as many steps but they are broken into three sets, wide enough convertible rental car to accommodate a ramp in there somewhere. No parking out there, though.

Museums are not profitable(of course, that is their nature). Museums in Detroit are, in general, not well attended by international standards. The Detroit Historical Museum is, as a municipal history museum, already massive, and, by Detroit standards, convertible rental car well-attended. We cannot support a historic clothing museum, IMHO.
I'm going to be frank, as a museum professional. There is the grand-daddy of them all, the Henry Ford, our rightful head. The rest- and you want any more? They absolutely need to be in the Cultural Center. You want to go to a car show? Go to a car show. That's not enough for a museum. You need to convince big donors convertible rental car (and small ones) that you're going to educate our region with their dollars - which you need to stay alive - and rightfully convertible rental car so. People need to seriously benefit convertible rental car from their experience. Museums are funded by donors, not admissions, and there are finite dollars to go around, and, frankly, starving fucking people in this world. Educate the people and make their lives better and you've got a viable museum - otherwise you're a hobbyist. Go big or go home.
Years ago, Flint had a large automobile museum, that folded. A few years back, Ford Motor, in cooperation with Greenfield Village, tried an all manufacturer automobile museum, convertible rental car on the corner of Oakwood MI Ave., that folded. Now this one in Auburn Hills folded. I hate to be a poop, but I think all this is saying something.
