William F. Mitchell owned a private auto museum of about 50 cars at Owosso, Michigan. The old Mitchell-Bentley factory building was filled with examples of projects that his father, Don Mitchell, had worked on. Included in the collection was a Kaiser Golden Dragon, the Packard Balboa-X, a Packard Panther and two Packard Caribbeans - one originally owned by Perry Como, the other by Bob Hope.

Mitchell actively collected celebrity-owned vehicles for his museum, which at one time included a 1940 Buick Series 40 Estate Wagon owned by Bette Davis, a 1948 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible originally owned by Robert Taylor, a 1949 Buick Estate Wagon owned by Milton Berle and a 1949 Roadmaster Station Wagon owned by cartoonist Al Capp.

Thomas E. Dewey's limousine that he used as Governor of New York and other bits and pieces of Owosso memorabilia adorned the walls of the museum.

Also included in the collection were Ionia-built vehicles like the 1943 Willys M-100 trailer, an early 1960s Jeep M-151 MUTT, 2 1956 Continental Mk IIs, a 1950 Glasspar, a 1953 Nash Healey, a 1963 Corvette and a lightweight 1964 Buick Wildcat built using a fiberglass hood, trunk and fenders.

After Bill Mitchell died, the collection was auction off in August of 2014.
