this Vehicle from $429 per month-call 636-600-4600 Looking for a
Cadillac that is atypical, a model most people have forgotten, if
they ever knew about it? Try this LaSalle Custom 5 Window Coupe
restomod, presented by MotoeXotica Classic Cars complete with
modern drive-tran. power steering, power brakes, leather interior
and air conditioning! LaSalle was Cadillac's lessor known make
between 1927 and 1940. The work of GM Styling Head Harley Earl is
obvious with the car's graceful lines and proportions and
integrated headlights, all highlighted by House of Kolor's (out of
Minneapolis, Minnesota) Candy Gold two-stage exterior. The paint
and trim are in very good order. The lights, led by custom
headlights, are in similar good order. The car rides on radial
tires surrounding Dayton wire wheels. The body panels are straight
and solid, even the shaved doors, and the car is bumperless. Driver
convenience features are air-conditioning, power steering, power
brakes and power leather seats. Under that gold hood is a modern
heart, a 350 CID LT1 fuel-injected V-8 engine from a 1990s
Chevrolet Corvette. It is mated to a three-speed automatic
transmission. Inside, the interior features leather tan front
bucket seats, VDO gauges with gold trim rings and a digital
odometer. The seats are in very good order, the carpet looks good
and the plush headliner looks great. The car has an aftermarket
three-spoke steering wheel with tilt column lifted from a 60s-80s
GM product. The inner door panels and mirror glass all look good,
too. We can almost guarantee that you will never find another
classic hot rod like this! The final 1940 LaSalles were introduced
in October 1939 with, as it had in its first year, a full array of
semi-custom body styles, including a convertible sedan. Harley Earl
also oversaw this redesign. The LaSalle emerged with a
smooth-flowing design, its trademark thin radiator flanked by a
series of thin chrome slots, giving it a futuristic look. In its
final year sales of the LaSalle reached the second highest level
ever at 24,133. In the mid-1920s, GM President and CEO Alfred P.
Sloan perceived that his original five divisions - Chevrolet,
Oakland, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac had price gaps that needed
to be filled. He came up with the Companion Make Program, which
added Pontiac's "six-cylinder for the price of a four" between
Chevy and Oakland, Viking's V-8 models fit between Oakland and
Oldsmobile, the more compact six-cylinder Marquette slotted between
Oldsmobile and Buick and LaSalle went between Buick and Cadillac.
So, if you're looking for something different to bring your local
cruising event or just to get stares as you ride around town, this
car more than fits the bill. Please note while this car is equipped
with A/C it does not blow cold and the wipers, speedometer, fuel
gauge are inoperable. This car is currently located at our facility
in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 3,989
miles since the new gauges were installed at time of rebuild. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, exempt mileage title.
