1938 LaSalle Series 50 Navigation
Some cars have had more famous owners than others. Ginger Rogers was the original purchaser of this luxury automobile. The LaSalle was introduced in 1927 and was offered as an alternative between a Buick and a Cadillac. LaSalle's production was discontinued in 1940.
For 1938 the LaSalle was offered with a 322 cubic-inch Cadillac engine. This engine was rated at 125 horsepower at 3400 RPMs. This engine was a favorite in tanks during World War II.
The very unusual windshield for the rear seat passengers is believed to have been custom manufactured by the coachbuilder Derham.
This automobile is restored in its original paint color with a contrasting lipstick red leather interior.
