preceding days leading up the Great Depression, Cadillac Motor
Company was introducing several new innovations to their line-up.
With Cadillacs popular LaSalle marque not left out, these elegant
cars now had the cowl lamps relocated to the front fenders giving
off a much more prestigious look. Mechanically, improvements
included a four wheel braking system, a smoother easier shifting
transmission, double-acting Delco hydraulic shock suspension, fully
adjustable front seat, and shatter-proof Safety-Plate glass. Under
the hood for the LaSalle in 1929 was a 328ci L-head V8 engine,
hence the Series 328 name was given. 1929 LaSalle Series 328 Info:
We are very excited to offer this 1929 LaSalle Series 328
4-passenger Phaeton finished in factory code correct Calais Blue
with Galahad Gray belt panels and wheels! The high gloss black
fenders are matched by a soft black leather interior with black
canvas top and beautifully fitted side curtains. Features include a
sporty 125 wheelbase, 3-speed Synchro-Mesh Silent-Shift manual
transmission, dual side-mounted spares with rearview mirrors, wind
wings, rear-mounted trunk, Trippe Safety forward Speedlights, and
carpeted interior. This expertly restored car was preserved for
many years in Westport, Massachusetts parked in a barn through the
early 1960s. Upon discovery by George Grew, he drove it home 18
miles without falter to New Bedford, MA with sincere intentions of
restoring it to its former glory. As time went by, and other cars
came to his attention, he settled on owning an already restored
Simplex and sold this LaSalle on to his friend, John Stinger, who
took on the task. It was enjoyed and shown by Mr. Stinger, and when
the time came to sell it on again, Mr. Grew gladly purchased it
back for his collection. Even today, after the years have passed,
this award winning restoration continues to shine in excellent
shape! As a recipient of several AACA awards from Hershey
gatherings, it was also invited to the 2009 Newport Concours
dElegance in Rhode Island. Mr. Grew was a very active member in the
automotive community being the President of his regional chapter of
the AACA, president of the South Shore Antique Auto Club, member of
the Profile Antique Auto Society, Veteran Motor Car Club of
America, Horseless Carriage Club of America, Pioneer Touring Club,
and on the Massachusetts Association of Antique Auto Club board of
directors. After George Grews passing in February 2011, it traded
hands to another longtime collector and pre-war automobile
enthusiast here in southeastern Missouri. It has since been
beautifully recommissioned and detailed to be ready for shows or
touring. One has to marvel at the factory color selection of this
LaSalle, along with the superb attention to detail of how the
restoration was carried out. It truly is as wonderful to admire
from underneath as it is from above. It starts with complete ease
and idles perfectly! The steering and brakes are tight and
responsive. You would be hard pressed to find one nicer, or any car
with such graceful body stylings! Please feel free to call with
questions or to schedule a chance to view in person. Thanks for
looking!
