America's Car Museum is proud to announce that AAA Washington has pledged $1.6 million for the Museum's proposed building to be located adjacently to the Tacoma Dome. The Museum plans to open the new facility to the public by 2011.

The opportunity for AAA Washington to work with the Museum in celebrating and exhibiting its own hundred and four year history in the state is truly an exciting one."

The organization provides a variety of exclusive benefits, including roadside assistance, discounts, auto, home and life insurance, maps and personalized trip planning to its 980,000 members. The Museum is delighted to have AAA as a partner in our endeavor to create the world's foremost automotive Museum.
