About Us

“To provide Cadillac V-Series owners with opportunities to connect with Cadillac Headquarters and Dealers via an organized community of like-minded V-Performance enthusiasts who have a desire to take their ownership experience to the next level. Members of the Cadillac V-Club are committed to the Cadillac brand and frequently share their experiences as proud owners of a “V” at localized events.  The Cadillac V-Club will continue to build a network of V-Series owners that will serve as an effective channel for Cadillac to leverage in order to bring more "V-Performance" awareness in the marketplace at the grassroots level.”

If there is not a local Chapter in your area within a 100 mile radius of your location, prospective members may join as a Regional Member until such time a local Chapter is chartered.

The Cadillac V-Club is a national organization that offers multiple levels or "classes" of membership.  Prospective members may choose a "Regional" or a "Local Chapter" membership.  

The Cadillac V-Club is comprised of 6 regions across the USA and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.  We are a 100% volunteer non-profit organization with no full time or part-time employees who receive compensation or a salary.  Revenue derived from membership fees and sponsorships is disbursed to cover organization expenses, member activities and support our charities.   As membership increases within each region, once there are a minimum of 15 individual V-Series owners who are active "regional" members within a local 100 mile radius, a Local Chapter will be chartered and launched.  From the local chapter membership, a Chapter Director will be selected and approved by the Board of Directors.  Local Chapters host quarterly meet 'n greet/cruise events where a meal or the cost of venue entry fee is covered or subsidized for members.  There are also special national, regional and local chapter events scheduled throughout each year such as Cadillac Racing V-Corral/Suites at IMSA or WEC events.

Regional vs Local Chapter Membership vs Sponsorship

The Cadillac V-Club offers multiple levels or "classes" of membership.  Prospective members may choose to submit either a "Regional" or a "Local Chapter" membership application.  If you are a licensed Cadillac dealership, you may submit a Dealer Application to become a Platinum level sponsor of the V-Club.

Once you have recruited a minimum of 15 V-Series owners (family members do not count towards the requirement unless they also own their personal V-Series vehicle) as regional members that reside with 100 miles of the proposed local chapter, a new local chapter will be chartered and launched.

OUR CHARITIES

While our mission and vision is to promote networking and collaboration among our members and sponsors, our founding charter members mutually agreed they had a desire to select a few charitable non-profit organizations to support.  Since our inception, the Cadillac V-Club has donated over $15,000 to multiple charities including the Wounded Warriors Program (WWP), the Dennis Sehorn ALS Foundation and the Drive to Remember Alzheimer's Charity.   We will continue to support other charitable organizations throughout each year based on opportunities presented and approved by our Board of Directors.  Click here to learn more!
