This vehicle is a 1940 LaSalle Series 52 4-Door Deluxe Torpedo. It is powered by a 322 cubic-inch V8 engine mated to a column-shift three-speed manual gearbox. It is painted midnight black with a grey wool cord interior. It has been given a complete concours restoration that included over 1500 hours of labor and craftsmanship. Over $130,000 was spent on the vehicle's restoration.
This was the last year for LaSalle as a product of Cadillac. The Series 52 Torpedo was known for its outstanding body style, 45-degree sloped windshield, curved rear windows with no beltline, and rounder and smoother body and trunk.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2008
