2026 Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National – Concord, North Carolina

June 1–6, 2026 – Embassy Suites by Hilton Charlotte Concord Golf Resort & Spa – Concord, North Carolina

The Cadillac & LaSalle Club’s annual Grand National is the biggest CLC event of the year – a full week packed with Cadillacs, LaSalles, seminars, tours, social events, and the spectacular national show field and awards banquet.

In 2026, the Grand National will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Charlotte Concord Golf Resort & Spa in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte. The resort is attached to the Concord Convention Center and sits next to the Rocky River Golf Course, with Charlotte Motor Speedway and major shopping and dining just minutes away.

If you’ve ever said “I really should get to a Grand National someday,” this is the year to do it!

1976–2026: Fifty Years of the Bicentennial Eldorado

The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Bicentennial Edition is one of the most recognizable Cadillacs of the 1970s – a white Eldorado convertible with white top and distinctive red and blue interior accents, built to commemorate both America’s Bicentennial and the final year (at the time) of the Eldorado convertible.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, there will be a special display of 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Bicentennial Editions at the 2026 Grand National.

• See multiple Bicentennial cars together in one place
• Talk with owners and restorers about what makes these cars unique
• Capture some once-in-a-lifetime photos of a historic Cadillac milestone

If you own a ’76 Eldorado Bicentennial, this is a must-attend event. If you’ve only ever seen one in photos, here’s your chance to see several in person.

A typical CLC Grand National includes:

• Welcome reception – Meet CLC members from across the country.
• Seminars & tech sessions – Restoration, preservation, judging, history, and maintenance topics.
• Local tours & attractions – Enjoy the Charlotte/Concord area with fellow Cadillac people.
• Judged & display cars on the show field – From early Cadillacs and LaSalles to modern luxury models.
• Swap meet and vendors – Parts, literature, memorabilia, and more.
• Awards banquet – The Saturday evening highlight with awards, photos, and plenty of stories.

The show field is often the biggest draw – row after row of Cadillacs and LaSalles arranged by year and class, from fully restored show cars to beautiful original survivors and well-loved drivers.
