It’s off to the races with a landmark $1 million gift from San Diego philanthropist Dorothea Laub, fueling the San Diego Automotive Museum’s ambitious expansion plans and bringing the museum closer to realizing its $20 million Capital Campaign.

Laub’s donation supports the Museum’s effort to build a new 35,000-square-foot facility that will seamlessly connect to its historic Balboa Park location. The expansion will provide additional space for rotating exhibits, educational programs, and community events, as well as a rooftop reception venue with sweeping views of Downtown San Diego and Balboa Park.

The project aims to strengthen the Museum’s role as a cultural and educational hub, creating greater access, fostering deeper community engagement, and expanding its collections.
