Club Auto

Club Auto recognition and membership is an annual membership conferred on those whose financial support of America’s Automotive Trust, LeMay—America’s Car Museum and/ or RPM Foundation equals or exceeds $1,200 each year.

Club Auto Regular Membership applies to those who donate $1,200 in one payment at the onset of their membership year. Regular membership includes all current Club Auto benefits including the opportunity to secure automobile storage at LeMay – America’s Car Museum at going rates and as space is available.

Club Auto Social Membership applies to those who pay their $1,200 annual membership at the rate of $100 per month via credit card. Social membership provides all current Club Auto benefits except for automobile storage opportunities.

Club Auto Founder recognition is achieved when one’s annual or cumulative support of the institution attains the level of $10,000.

Club Auto Founders receive permanent recognition for their support of America’s Automotive Trust on the Club Auto Founder wall in the lobby of LeMay America’s Car Museum. Founders are also permanently recognized in the Trust’s annual ‘Milestones Report’ and receive leather Club Auto Founder jackets.



While Club Auto Founder recognition is permanent, Club Auto benefits require continued donations to the Trust and its member entities in the amount of $1,200 or more annually.

• All memberships are tax-deductible donations and may be paid in one of three ways:
• Cash, check, or credit card at time of application.
• Monthly payments via credit card (mandatory for social memberships).
• In-kind donation in the amount of $1,200 or more market value.
• Any in-kind donation goes toward a membership, not car storage.
• In-kind donations will be credited for one calendar year.
• In-kind donations must follow this procedure:
• The donor gives a proposal to Development staff.
• The Museum reviews and approves.
• The service is rendered.
• America’s Automotive Trust is invoiced.
• Accounting records the invoice.
• Membership processes the in-kind gift.
