1929 Cadillac-LaSalle For Sale

1929 Cadillac-LaSalle For Sale. General Motors introduced LaSalle in 1927 as a companion make for Cadillac. GM felt that with a $1,000 gap between Buick and Cadillac, there was room for another car line. This is a Model 328. This collector car has a 328 cubic inch side valve V8 engine, with a three-speed synchromesh transmission, shaft drive, leaf spring and solid axle front suspension, leaf spring and live axle rear suspension and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The Wheelbase is 125 inches.

The 1929 Lasalle was designed by Harley Earl (head of GM’s new Art and Color department, the first styling department), the new LaSalle was stunning. With features borrowed from the leading marques of Europe, it offered a fresh face to a public accustomed to relatively drab domestic designs.
