1931 Cadillac LaSalle Series 345-A Seven-Passenger Touring by Fleetwood TRADES CONSIDERED.
In 1931, the LaSalle was offered in 12 distinct body styles, of which five were produced by the prestigious Fleetwood coach builder, the same in-house shop that bodied the V-16 Cadillacs. Among the rarest variations was the Fleetwood Seven-Passenger Touring, style number 4657.
The car offered here had its Fleetwood body installed and maintains a correct Fleetwood tag, script doorsills, and body numbers. The car wears a full restoration in a stunning combination of orchid hues, including deep purple bodywork striped in a softer shade of blush purple. The chassis and wire wheels have been cloaked in the same striking shade of blush purple with the wire wheels fitted with stainless steel spokes and shod in wide whitewall tires.
The car wears an equally impressive gray and maroon leather interior which is protected by a black Hartz fabric convertible soft top. Abundant accessories include Pilot Ray driving lights, a rear-mounted luggage rack, dual side-mounted spares with metal covers and mirrors, a Heron radiator mascot, wind wings and dual spot lights.
Only driven 600 miles since its frame off, restoration, this LaSalle has appeared at the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance and the model is recognized as a “Full Classic” by the Classic Car Club of America.
Presented in a truly show-stopping livery, this elegant and rare LaSalle presents a wonderful opportunity for pre-war collectors, one which is not to be missed.
Everything works correctly including, Speedometer ,Temp gauge ,Oil pressure ,amp gauge, fuel gauge , all lights, and both clocks, the car starts and drives very well. I believe the concours restoration was done about 20 years ago and has held up very well.
The photos were taken on 3/11/23 upon returning from a 100 mile drive in the country.
