Artifact Overview
The American Automobile Association (AAA) was formed in 1902 to lobby for drivers' rights and promote safe vehicles and roads. As Americans' passion for driving grew, the organization expanded its services to include roadside assistance and vacation and trip planning. In 1969, about the time this button was produced, AAA also offered a host of insurance products to its members.
