The LaSalle cars were intended to fill the position between Buick and Cadillac; in many respects, they were basically a small Cadillac, though with a shorter wheelbase and a shorter stroke of the Cadillac V8 engine. The new styling was added in 1931, including replacing the hood louvers with doors. The front featured a radiator stone guard that gave them a resemblance to the larger V12 and V16 models. An astonishing twenty body styles were offered, able to appease even the most discerning customer.
This particular example is a Fisher-built convertible coupe with style 31668. It is painted in burgundy with deep crimson accent molding, white pinstripe, and black fenders. Many years ago, this car was restored; since then, it has been well-maintained and preserved. It is equipped with wire wheels and dual side-mount spares with chrome spokes. It is a First Place winner in the Classic Car Club of America and is recognized by the CCCA as a Full Classic.
In 2008 this 1931 LaSalle Convertible Coupe was brought to the 2008 Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions, where it was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $100,000. It was offered without reserve which worked well for the buyer, who purchased the car for $63,800, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2010
