DONATE TODAY FOUNDING DONORS The Wheels 100 The Wheels 100 are the founding donor members who each bestowed $10,000 on the San Diego Automotive Museum upon its opening in the late 1980s. In addition to their financial contributions, they rallied to lead the Museum to a successful grand opening. Over 30 years later, we are honored to pay tribute to the Wheels 100 members. Through you and your families, we continue telling stories of motorized vehicles' social and technological past, present, and future throughout our collections, exhibitions, and educational programs.
