Established in 1996, The Grand Cote Cruisers of Southern Illinois, consists of automotive enthusiasts of all ages, both male and female. Our goal as a club is to promote and maintain a positve image of our hobby and to further the continued growth in the restoration, modification and quite simply, the enjoyment of all types of vehicles whether they be classic or vintage, muscle cars or mini trucks. Our members maintain an active schedule, participating in shows, cruise nights and various automotive related events on a local, as well as regional level, travelling to the surrounding states of Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana. Additionally, The Grand Cote Cruisers hosts numerous cruise nights at various locations throughout the Summer months as well as hosting their Annual Car Show.
The Grand Cote Cruisers club is based in Coulterville, Illinois, a small rural community located in the Northeast corner of Randolph County approximately 57 miles Southeast of St. Louis Missouri. Travelling from either the East or West, you can arrive in Coulterville via Illinois Route 13. From the North or South, take Illinois Route 153. Please see map for more details.
YES! The Grand Cote Cruisers hosts a number of events throughout the year so there are ample opportunities to co-sponsor. What you receive is an event that will attract automotive enthusiasts of all ages for your business or organization and in return your business will be listed on this webpage for the entire year. Additionally, if your business commits to co-sponsoring our annual Car Show, your business will be printed on the event T-shirts! At years end, the Club donates a percentage to local charities and various organizations so your dollars WILL go back into the local area.
