Many collectors and admirers of Cadillac and La Salle automobiles are fascinated, like me, by anything closely related to their favorite automobiles. Apart from obvious Cadillac collectibles such as sales and merchandising literature, hood mascots, crests and emblems that came on cars of those two grand marques, many well-heeled collectors are attracted also to anything with the Cadillac insignia on it, or that has a direct (and sometimes indirect) bearing on the history of the car or the company that built it.

In this section of the Database will be found badges and stickers from Cadillac clubs and enthusiast organizations around the world.   If you have any item(s) you believe should be added here, please send me a small digital image (say, 4 x 5 inches) in JPEG format, and I will include it.

Now for some stickers and badges from Cadillac clubs and enthusiast organizations around the world.  Currently, I have only a few of them and I'm counting on my readership to supply more for this page.

Club Awards

 

Illustrated below is the most prestigious of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club awards:
 it is the Henry Leland Award of the Cadillac Motor Car Company

    
From 1990-1999, the award consisted of this 1:18 scale, 80-piece, gold-plated replica of the 1907 Model K runabout
that won for Cadillac the Dewar Cup for 1908; Norman Jones of Tulsa, ÙK, was the first recipient; there were six others


When the stock of "gold" models was depleted, a new award was instituted for 2002-up: it is this cup, which is reminsicent of the original RAC Dewar cup that
was won twice by Cadillac; the replica was designed by CLC member, Rich Esposito; Matt Larson of Detroit was the first recipient of  8 winners to date (2012)
