Vehicle Description
This 1936 LaSalle Series 36-50 Convertible Coupe underwent a
complete restoration and is the finest example that we have ever
seen. Initially introduced in 1927, LaSalle was the companion brand
to Cadillac in an attempt to fill the pricing gap between GM's
Cadillac and Buick marques. The LaSalles were considered highly
luxurious cars in their day, but were a bit toned down from the
top-tier Cadillacs. This particular '36 LaSalle comes to us from a
prominent Illinois collector who kept this car in his personal
collection until his recent passing, upon which we acquired the
car. Under the elongated and vented hood is a 248 Cubic Inch L-Head
Inline 8 with a single barrel carburetor that pushed out 105
horsepower back in 1936. The 248 Straight 8 is mated up to a 3
speed manual transmission that is shifted via the floor mounted
shifter. Little changed stylistically from the 1935 LaSalles to the
1936 version, however the "Convex-Vee" grille became less sloped in
1936. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this antique
automobile is in fantastic, show-quality condition. The two-tone
maroon exterior paint on this LaSalle is in fabulous shape, and
gives the car a period correct exterior look. The tan canvas
convertible top features a rear glass window and is in fantastic
condition. This LaSalle sits on 4 wide whitewall tires with LaSalle
hubcaps, completing the exterior look of the car. The interior on
this LaSalle is stunning! The burgundy leather driver's bench seat
appears to be brand new as does the rear rumble seat. The dash is
in its stock configuration shows exceptionally well, and is
equipped with a 110 MPH Speedometer, clock, temperature gauge, oil
pressure gauge, gas gauge, and amp gauge. The banjo steering wheel
is in excellent condition as well. The attention to detail on this
1936 LaSalle Convertible Coupe is second to none. If you want one
of the most unique and beautiful classic cars we have ever seen,
this is the one to have! Give us a call today!
