Private Members' Automotive Club · Ortonville, Michigan

A country club for car people.

Private garage suites, heated indoor space for the winter, and ten and a half acres north of Detroit. A 1950s schoolhouse becoming the kind of place you actually want to spend time in.

Part garage, part clubhouse, entirely members-only.

Think country club, but the golf course is a garage.

Most places that will take your car are built around the car leaving. A door, a number, a padlock, and a hope that nothing happens until spring.

This is a club you hang out at, not a place you drop a car and leave. Your space, your schedule, then wander out and find somebody else who wanted to talk about exactly the thing you came to work on.

The club is about the people, not the badge on the hood. Daily drivers, project cars, classics, trucks, track toys, full collections. All of it belongs here.

Our first public event

Cars and Coffee at the M-15 Motor Club lot.

Come see what we're building. Bring whatever you drive, park it, grab a coffee and meet the people behind the club. It's free and family friendly. Daily drivers, project cars, classics, trucks, track toys: all makes, all models.

Where to park. Either of the two lots at the front of the building. Carpooling is encouraged.

Drive like a neighbor. No burnouts, launches or revving on site or on the way in and out. Respect the properties around us.

Rain or shine. It is an outdoor event, so dress for the weather. Restrooms are available on site.

About insurance. Members carry their own coverage. The building is insured; member vehicles are not. That is standard for this category, and we would rather you hear it now than find out later.

From schoolhouse to clubhouse.

Belle Ann Elementary opened in the 1950s and taught the neighborhood for decades. It sits on ten and a half acres on Glass Road, and it has the two things you cannot build cheaply anywhere near Detroit: room, and quiet.

The gym becomes indoor space. The classrooms become garage suites. The commons becomes the part where people actually stay.

Get in before the doors open.

Founding members pick their space first, help shape how the club runs, and keep that standing permanently. The Paddock has room for 25 cars right now, and a limited number of private garage suites are still open.
