Have you checked out our V-Series Video Gallery?

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

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.
