2022 CLUB AUTO MEMBERSHIP
LEVELS, REQUIREMENTS, POLICIES & PROCEDURES
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.
