    The Cadillac V-Club is excited to announce that VSeriesMarketplace.com is now live and ready to become to the place for your Cadillac V-Series needs. The V-Series cars represent a unique brand in the marketplace, and we felt there also needed to be a trading post, if you will, for those performance and luxury minded individuals who have a passion for the V-Series name plate.

    The V-Series Marketplace was specially designed with the V-Series in mind but also with easy navigation to make creation of ads simple, easy, and accurate.

    The VSeriesMarketplace.com was designed to allow its users to:

    • Quickly and easily create ads to sell new and used V-Series vehicles
    • Buy and Sell the used parts that have been collecting dust around your garage
    • List and search for companies that offer additional services specifically for your V-Series vehicle
    • Are you looking for a V-Series vehicle? Create an alert so when one comes available you will receive proactive notification

    AUTHOR: Danial Stalcup
    EVENT: https://cadillacvclub.com/event-4880092

    The NorCal Chapter of the Cadillac V-Club rally was a great success!  We had a fabulous time of relaxed driving, intense driving, good food, and socializing!

    The rally began with great doughnuts and coffee from Johnny's Doughnuts.  We drove together to Point Reyes,  Marin French Cheese Company, Bodega Bay for lunch, Healdsburg for gas (and a car wash for Nick), then dinner in St. Helena.  

    For the most part it all went smooth except for my broken splitter and curb rashed wheel, a quart of oil that had to be added to a member's car, and an ATS-V that started to overheat while idling!  It's part of the adventures!

    The rally ended at Brasswood Bar and Kitchen where results of the poker run and raffle were revealed!  Rich Rose was one lucky member!  He not only won a raffle from last weeks event at Walnut Creek Cadillac, but at the rally he also won the poker pot of $140 as well as the raffle from our generous sponsors of the event P&S Detail Supply East Bay.  P&S gave the V-Club a detailing kit worth over $90 to go to a lucky winner. In this case VERY lucky winner - Rich Rose.  In addition, P&S gave every participant a bottle of their Dream Maker Gloss Amplifier spray.  Be sure to visit P&S on the web at https://psdetailproducts.com/ or at their Hayward retail location 20943 Cabot Blvd Hayward, CA 9454.

    Thanks to our member Phillip Adams for putting this rally together.  He spent a lot of time on it, including testing the whole route!  His efforts are a perfect example of now individual members can have great contributions to the club.  

    Be on the look out for another rally down towards Monterey in the future, we hope more of you can join.

    In conjunction with today's announcement of the new Cadillac V-Club Officers and Directors, the following Chapter Director appointments are effective immediately.

    SEAPORT Chapter (Seattle/Portland) - Robert (Rob) Milligan has been selected and approved by the Officers/Directors of the Cadillac V-Club as the new Chapter Director replacing Gene Hawks.
    Rob resides in Issaquah, Washington just east of Seattle. Rob and wife Nina purchased their 2016 ATS-V 6-speed in 2021 and quickly fell in love with V's and the Cadillac brand. This was after driving the family van for a dozen years, patiently waiting for the kids to move out and begin the search for the right "fun" car. He found it, and the personalized Washington license plate he ordered is "V-FUN".

    Rob has been fascinated with automobiles since youth. This began when he was a hired Porsche chauffeur at 18, then owned a string of BMW's. He was sure he'd be driving a Porsche or Corvette by now and the thought of a comfortable four-door luxury sedan that went 0-60 is 3.8 seconds never crossed his mind. He has enjoyed tracking this ATS-V, which came with mods including RENICK engine air intake and a TRIFECTA tune. While tracking, at the same time he's caring for it like a baby.

    Rob will be planning and scheduling Seattle/Portland events and is looking forward to the continued expansion of the V-Club in the Pacific Northwest Region.


    SOCAL Los Angeles Chapter - Richard (Rich) Cuellar and his 2 sons own and have operated a motorcycle rim manufacturing company in Southern California for the last 30 years. 

    Rich currently resides in Pomona, California and drives a 2014 CTS-V Coupe.  After college Rich held the position of sales Engineer with a company that manufactures aerospace parts.  Previously he was a member of the 163rd fighter squadron, Ontario airport California for 7 years where they flew 106 delta daggers and F4C Phantoms from 1966-1973.

    Rich had the opportunity to race motorcycles, cars and drag boats and he currently owns and races his CTS-V Coupe which he has owned for the past 8 years.  Even with a lot of performance improvements and chasis updates, it remain a very dependable daily driver. His passiion is to drive the canyons, compete in straight line racing events in addition to closed circuit road racing venues.

    With the recent decision of the V-Club board to split the SOCAL membership into two Chapters: San Diego and Los Angeles, Rich is excited about the opportunity to plan and schedule events that will look forward to attending. 

    Watch the Cadillac V-Club official event calendar for an upcoming activity to be published soon for each of these chapters.  Congratulations to each of these V-Club members in their new leadership role!
