On June 7, 1899, a group of gentlemen auto racers met at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel in Manhattan, New York City, and founded the Automobile Club of America.
The Automobile Club of America was officially incorporated on August 15, 1899 in
order to "maintain a social club devoted to the sport of automobilism and to its
development throughout the country”. The club had a peak membership of 6,000,
but following the Great Depression in the United States, several thousand
members left the club. As a result, in January 1932, the Automobile Club's
governors voted to dissolve the club.

Both sources reveal that all arms of the cross shall have the same width - about
1/6 of the flag width at the hoist, no decreasing towards the fly. Also,
vertical arms and the central device shall be placed closer to the hoist - the
distance between the arms and the hoist edge is approximately equal with the
hoist height of the cantons.
Also, the red wheel is not enclosing a
yellow disc, but the green cross and the yellow field are both visible between
its spokes.
Regarding the colors, I recommend the following RGB values:
- red: 0-0-204
- yellow: 255-204-0
- green: 51-153-102
