Welcome to the Cadillac LaSalle Club of New Zealand
Where heritage, luxury, and a deep passion for one of the world's most iconic automotive brands come together.
The Cadillac Experience: More Than Just a Car
Owning a Cadillac is unlike owning any other vehicle. It’s more than just a means of transportation—it’s a symbol of prestige, craftsmanship, and innovation. Cadillac is the epitome of luxury within the General Motors family, a marque that has stood the test of time for over a century. When you sit behind the wheel of a Cadillac, you’re not just driving a car; you’re embracing a legacy.
Cadillac’s story began in 1902, and since then, it has been a beacon of engineering excellence and refined elegance. From the first V8 engine to the introduction of sophisticated design elements, Cadillac has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation. To own a Cadillac is to step into a tradition of excellence, where every detail is crafted with precision, and every journey is an experience in luxury.
The Cadillac LaSalle Club of New Zealand: Preserving the Legacy
Our club was formed in 1973 in Wellington, and over the past 50 years, we’ve grown into a vibrant community of enthusiasts who are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of Cadillac and its companion car, LaSalle.
