Description for Cadillac Other 1940

Very solid original 1940 Cadillac LaSalle sedan. We are selling this car since we have two of them. This car has a high quality paint job as well as a professionally restored rebuilt engine. LaSalle used the same V-8 engine that was in the Cadillac.The hardest parts have been done to continue finishing the restoration of this grand old classic. We would consider selling the car for a lower price with no engine or transmission. We could use those if any need came about for the other car we have. Here is a little history of the Cadillac LaSalle......Harley Earl, who had been hired by Cadillac's General Manager, Lawrence P. Fisher, conceived the LaSalle not as a junior Cadillac, but as something more agile and stylish. Influenced by the rakishHispano-Suizaroadsters of the time, Earl's LaSalle emerged as a smaller, yet elegant counterpoint to Cadillac's larger cars, unlike anything else built by an American automotive manufacturer.
The final 1940 LaSalles were introduced in October 1939 with, as it had in its first year, a full array of semi-custom body styles, including a convertible sedan. Harley Earl also oversaw this redesign. The LaSalle emerged with a smooth-flowing design, its trademark thin radiator flanked by a series of thin chrome slots, giving it a futuristic look.In its final year sales of the LaSalle reached the second highest level ever at 24,133.
