1940 LaSalle Series 50 Navigation
The LaSalle was a brand of automobiles manufactured and marketed by General Motors' Cadillac division from 1927 through 1940. The LaSalle was named after the French explorer Robert de LaSalle.
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 oversaw this final design. 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.
The original cost of this 1940 LaSalle was $1,320. The car weighs 3,790 pounds and has a V8 engine. The current owner acquired the car in 2010 from a lawyer in Ann Arbor.
