Club Director’s Message

Welcome to the Allante-XLR Chapter of the CLC website!

We were established with a Club Constitution for:

   * The development, publication, and exchange of information pertaining to Cadillac Allante and XLR automobile

   * To encourage the maintenance, preservation of all Cadillac Allante and XLR’s

   * To promote social fellowship among the members of the club.

“It’s not just the car …. It’s the people”! 

While there are a few other Allante-XLR Clubs in the U.S., this is the only one owned by the members, as compared to privately owned or as a part of a business.

To better serve our members, we are part of the International Cadillac & LaSalle Club (CLC). The organization provides contact with thousands of members in the U.S. and outside the U.S. Also, there is a dedicated Museum on the grounds at Hickory Corners, MI. Built with contributions and support from many Regions and Chapters as well as individual support. CLC holds an annual Grand National moving to various locations each year. June 10-15 the Grand National will be in Gettysburg, PA. During a Grand National judging is done by judges who have been to the CLC Judging School and they use forms that have been developed over the years. The judging is rigorous! The awards and recognition are well earned.

In addition to the CLC, I mentioned the CLC Museum. It is located in Hickory Corners, MI. at the Gilmore Museum Campus. The CLC Museum has held a Fall Festival ever since it opened in September 2014. Our founding Director, Bob Klopfer donated his 1993 Allante Indianapolis 500 Edition to the museum where it is on display.

Our Chapter offers a monthly newsletter (Midmonth), this Website, and a monthly member’s meeting both in-person and Zoom. For those available, an opportunity for members to come together in the way of driving tours, workshops, car shows, museums, etc. We also have a technical advisor available to members.

A big attraction currently is our Facebook page with currently 1,400 members. A great place for the exchange of technical and parts issues. Or just bragging rights about your car. Look us up – Allante XLR Chapter of the Cadillac LaSalle Club

Since our club is member owned, we want to hear from you including: a few stories of your car experiences; a few pictures; a how-to article of something you did with your car; a repair; a work around for an unavailable part; or “I need some help”.

We would like to hear from you.
