* 303-cid V-8 * 3-speed manual transmission * 134" wheelbase * Unrestored, original machine * CCCA Full Classic® Introduced in 1927, the LaSalle was intended by General Motors to fill a perceived gap in the model range between Buick and Cadillac. Handsomely styled by Harley Earl, the LaSalle inspired General Motors to establish a separate division known as Art and Color responsible for automotive styling, naturally with Earl at the helm. Built by Cadillac to the same high quality standards, the LaSalle employed an advanced 303-cid V-8 engine developing 75 horsepower, offering exceptional performance. For 1929, Cadillac offered further technical improvements on the LaSalle, introducing synchromesh on second and top gears along with safety glass. Mechanical changes included Duplex mechanical brakes, pressure lubrication on the piston pins and mid-year metric spark plugs were adopted. Built on two wheelbase lengths (125 and 134 inches), the 1929 LaSalle was offered with a wide variety of bodywork, chiefly from Fisher although Fleetwood did produce some higher priced versions. On 1929 cars, all brightwork was chrome plated and the parking lights were moved to the fenders. This Series 328 Convertible Coupe is fitted on the longer 134" wheelbase (as were all of the Series 328 model range save for the Roadster, Phaeton and Sport Phaeton) and cost $2,495 new. Handsomely finished in maroon with black fenders, a black leather interior and a tan convertible top, the car remains in original and unrestored condition. While little is known about its history, the fenders have been repainted at some time and the chrome was re-plated, but is otherwise very much as the day it left the LaSalle factory in Detroit. Reported by the vendor to run and drive well, the smoothness of operation is no doubt a testament to the fact the car has never been fully apart. Eligible for numerous events as a CCCA Full Classic®, it is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed by its next keeper.
