Cadillac & Lasalle Club Inc

The club members have gathered documentation and photographs to produce 21 authenticity manuals, with the next manual currently in production. The manuals are arranged by class of vehicle and year. The class is defined as how the vehicles are grouped and judged each year at the main event, "the grand national." for example, class 2a covers the 1924-29 cadillac. The newest classes relate to class 5 - lasalle 1939 series 50, class 10 - cadillac 1939 series 60s and 1940 series 60s, 62, and 72. The next manual will cover class 28a - 1985-1993 "c" cars to class 18, 1959-1960 models.regarding documentation, emphasis is placed on cadillac factory-produced material. This includes factory/dealer order guides, consumer brochures, parts and service manuals, etc. Cadillac-to-dealer distribution bulletins will be used as a valuable source of mid-production model or option changes. Where possible, individuals who have firsthand accounts of the design and production of this series and worked on engineering or production at the orion assembly, will be contacted.
