Great Roads. Great Scenery. Great Company.

There's nothing better than a summer morning behind the wheel of a Cadillac V-Series.

Join us as we launch one of our newest chapter traditions—the Rock River Run.

We'll start the morning at WIRED Café in downtown Rockford before heading south along the scenic Rock River, winding through rolling countryside, passing the beautiful Klehm Arboretum, and stopping for photos at Castle Rock State Park.

From there, we'll continue into historic Dixon for lunch and conversation.

This is the first of several signature driving events planned for the Chicagoland Chapter and RSVP registration is open to both members and prospective members of the Cadillac V-Club.    This informal event and each participant is responsible for the cost of their lunch.

And yes… the Galena Run is coming later this season.
