The purpose of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club's Authenticity Manual Project is to document, as much as possible, the details of how Cadillacs and LaSalles actually looked when they left the factory and were delivered by the dealer. Initiated by Fredus "Pete" Peters and currently under the direction of William C. "Bill" Anderson, P.E., the Club's Director of Technical Services, teams of Club members are preparing twenty-nine (29) such booklets, one for each class into which Cadillacs and LaSalles are grouped for national judging.

At this time, the following manuals are available for purchase:
