Allantés /XLR Cruise the Heartland
12th Annual Cadillac Allanté XLR Show / Vacation
And Our 2nd Allante XLR Grand National
October 14th to the 18th
Special Award for the 25th Anniversary of the “1990 Allante”
Here is the Itinerary… If any of you are leaving from the north east, I created a driving plan to make the drive more pleasurable. If you are deciding to drive straight through, this can be some of the reason why you and or your spouse may hate road trips. Owners coming from other directions can make their own plan. I can help you get in touch with owners around you. We encourage you to join us in a convoy to the Heartland.

Friday October 16, 2015
Now for the time of our lives, were doing the Trash bus tour. We just had a member do this last month and he said if we do anything there, we must do this… After the bus tour, they will drop us off in the Honky Tonk area where all the museums and bars are. Some will stay there all day and night, but if you need to go back to the hotel, it’s a local bus ride away.
I feel for dinner, we will stay there and do some bar and restaurant hoping.
Saturday, October 17, 2015 (Allante XLR Day)?
At 9:30 AM, we will head over to the Opryland Mall and behind it is the General Lee Cruise ship. There is a large parking lot where we will stage out cars and you can vote for your favorite cars. By 11pm, we will board the ship for a cruise down the river for the sights and sounds alone with a lunch buffet. By 2:30, we return to the dock and then to the parking lot and continued our judging. Once all the voting ballots are all handed in, we will return back to the hotel.
Saturday Evening
At 6:30pm, we will all meet in one of the banquet rooms where we will have our Awards sit down dinner banquet. After dinner, we will present the awards. Remember, if you have a 1990 Allante, you may win the greatest trophy of all.
It would be nice if we can get the past three 25 Anniversary winners… then there will be 4…
Sunday October 18, 2015
We will head out late morning a drive to the Downtown Mall located in Charlottesville Va. Where we will stay overnight and do dinner. Looks like a great place to walk shop and dine.
If you have any questions about this event or anything for that matter, you can always call me 609-634-6518 or you can email me at Itsonlyluv@comcast.net or go to www.CadillacAllanteClub.com click on the top right, there you will enter the Allante XLR chat room. It’s a 24Hr room for anyone to used, even for you non-members. We like to show you how helpful we are. But our weekly day is Wednesday at 8PM EST. See you there…
In case you’re confused, the Cadillac Allante Club has been doing nationals shows since 2000. Now if you remember we were the Delaware Valley Allante Group, (we had to change our name because since we became a national club, we could not label it to one area) we were a sub chapter of both the Allante Appreciation Group and the Allante Association. During the last 4 years of the AAG, I single handily did their nationals shows. So this show will really be my 16th national Show. And we plan not to stop…
Now by calling this event our 2nd Grand National which means that all our sub chapters and other Allante XLR clubs come together for one show. I have done this back in 2000 in Brigantine NJ (Atlantic City) where I got the AAG and the AOA to get together. That was a wonderful thing. And were doing it again…So if you have an Allante XLR club, please join us and represent your club. All will be giving time to announce and brag how your club is the best, LOL…
We are making up a keepsake booklet that will be handed out at the event with all the attendances and every Allante XLR club listed.
Its free to the entire register guest, you just need to email us a picture of your Allanté /XLR. You can even add yourself and or your spouse in the photo. Only 1 picture please. Along with a brief description about you and your baby… we need these in asap so we have enough time to have them printed.
We would love to list every Allante XLR club out there.
We can even list Allante XLR owners that can’t make it and would have loved to be at this event.
Do you have a business you like to share with you fellow owners?
Also let us know if you wish to hand out any items at the event. We can include in the goodie bags.
If you’re interested, please get in touch ASAP to…..
