The emphasis is on "the appreciation of the car and v issued excellence in engineering", ie the classic character, but also "the appreciation of today's innovations," says an internal document. First, not every member, but only individuals who are either appointed or registered by a partner company of the KAC. Maximum of 2605 people will benefit from this "gold" membership - because so many members had the KAC historical (1905-1918).

In 1918, after the collapse of the monarchy, the club changed its name a second time - in automobile club of Germany, AVD.
