LEMAY MUSEUM, WHEELS & HEELS GAL A
On behalf of the Board of Directors of America’s Automotive Trust, I am delighted to welcome you to our 13th annual Wheels & Heels Gala at LeMay – America’s Car Museum. Tonight is a celebration of the Trust, which has become nationally recognized for its efforts to promote America’s automotive heritage.
AAT and its member organizations LeMay – America’s Car Museum and the RPM Foundation is ensuring that the automobiles of our past will be preserved for public enjoyment; that enthusiasts will continue to enjoy the driven car; and that young people are provided educational opportunities for meaningful careers in automotive restoration and preservation. Our mission has always embraced others who seek collaboration rather than competition. I’m proud of our formal affiliations with the Pebble Beach and Hilton Head Concours d’ Elegance, the Detroit Auto Show, The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage, The Great Race, Motorcar Cavalcade, and collaborations with other institutions across the country.
While we celebrate, we’re mindful that there is so much more that we can accomplish given adequate resources. Each year the generosity of our Wheels & Heels sponsors and donors has made a significant contribution to our success. We ask that you generously support this year’s Gala and hope that in doing so you have an enjoyable and memorable evening.
We give our sincere thanks to our title sponsor Pacific Portfolio, Presenting Sponsor State Farm, and all our sponsors. And, of course, enjoy our signature gala fireworks brought to us by Ed and Carmen Brooks and Larry and Ritchie Hood!!

RAISE THE PADDLE
Throughout American history, the automobile has been a driving force in our culture, connecting us to one another and for most, providing that first taste of freedom that opened the doors – and the world – to endless possibilities. Many of you may remember your sitting in the back seat during your family road trips growing up, or cruising down the main road in the town you grew up in. With life becoming faster pace and more dependent on technology as each day goes by, it’s important to remember these traditions and the way the automobile has impacted our lives not only to be recognized as part of our history, but of preserve it for future generations to experience too. Knowing that others around the world believe in this same idea, America’s Automotive Trust was established in 2016 with the purpose of bringing like-minded organizations to together to work towards a common goal of preserving car culture for the future.
