LaSalle is a car that was developed by Alfred Sloan and was manufactured and marketed by General Motors’ Cadillac Division. This stylish convertible coupe is equipped with a 322-cid L-head V-8 engine. The transmission is a three-speed manual. The car is finished in midnight blue with new top, red leather interior and is equipped with a rumbleseat, dual sidemounts with color-keyed metal covers, diving lights, driver’s side spotlight, factory radio and heater. There is also a generous stowage area that nests below the rumbleseat. It is reported that this car won best in class in 2013 at an all-GM car show. The LaSalle is also said to have previously been owned by the late Martin Swig. Mr. Swig was the founder of the California Mille and a successful San Francisco auto center. When he passed away, Autoweek magazine called Mr. Swig “the guy who invented automotive enthusiasm.”
