Cadillac-LaSalle museum to open near Kalamazoo

HICKORY CORNERS, Oct. 1, 2014 (AP): A museum dedicated to maintaining and exhibiting collectible Cadillac and LaSalle vehicles is set to open near Kalamazoo.

The Cadillac-LaSalle Club Museum and Research Center is located on the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners.
 

The 10,000-square-foot building is the site of a grand opening ceremony on Sunday.

Officials say the Cadillac-LaSalle Club Museum’s mission is to protect, promote, and share the history of the automobiles as well as their impact over the years.

The museum is modeled after a 1948 dealership.

It features nearly two-dozen cars, including a rare 1903 example from Cadillac’s first year of production; a 1937 LaSalle convertible sedan; and a 1957 Cadillac Brougham used in the film ``Driving Miss Daisy.”
