The Auburn Hills, MI-based Walter P. Chrysler Museum will be open just two more weekends before closing forever to be converted to Fiat Chrysler office space, according to several news reports.

The museum will be open Nov. 19-20 and Dec. 17-18, with Dec. 18 being the final day.

There are 65 historical vehicles housed at the museum which will continue to be displayed at special events and in other Chrysler facilities, officials at the automaker said.

The museum, which opened in 1999, has three floors and a two-story atrium with a rotating tower that includes several Chrysler concept vehicles.

According to The Detroit News, “The first floor traces the first 50 years of Chrysler, both the man and the company. The second floor continues Chrysler’s story, beginning with the introduction of the first Hemi engine in 1951 and spotlighting the automaker’s design, engineering, and marketing successes. The lower level, called ‘Boss Chrysler’s Garage,’ houses dream machines from the ’60s and ’70s.”
