AACA Museum Launches Adopt-A-Car Program
The Museum recently expanded its Adopt-A-Car Program. This program provides both the financial resources and the manpower to maintain the Museum’s priceless vehicle collection.
Each vehicle that is routinely displayed has a Benefactor and a Caretaker. The Benefactor makes an annual financial contribution to fund the vehicle’s maintenance, storage and care. The Caretaker makes a commitment to regularly maintain the vehicle on a volunteer-basis through dusting, cleaning and detailing the vehicle as needed.
Caretakers are expected to care for their vehicle on a monthly basis. Benefactors make an annual contribution which changes from year to year but is typically around $500 (payment plans are available). Both the Caretaker and Benefactor are recognized through signage placed by the vehicle. To date, just over half of the vehicles have Caretakers but we have only just begun to recruit Benefactors.
If you have a favorite vehicle in our collection that you would like care for or support financially please give us a call (717.566.7100 x116).
