1940 LaSalle Series 52 Convertible Coupe

  • Coachwork by Fisher
  • Chassis Number: 4328552
LaSalle produced 425 (some sources say 452) examples of the Special Series Convertible coupes in 1940. This example has been given a museum-quality restoration with Champagne Gold Metallic paint, Burgundy leather upholstery, and a vacuum-operated Sahara Sands convertible top. Power is from the 322 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 130 horsepower and fed by a downdraft carburetor, features an automatic choke, and is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission. The louvered radiator is automated, allowing for rapid cold-start warmups.

The interior features a clock and radio, and a red steering wheel center with gold and white detailing. There are dual wipers, bumper guards, rear fender stone shields, red-painted steel wheels, red tire trim accents, chrome wheel covers and trim rings, and wide whitewall tires.
