For Sale: 1940 Cadillac LaSalle in Lutz, Florida

5083-TPA 1940 CADILLAC LASALLE

Built for the boulevard but ready for show day, this 1940 Cadillac LaSalle wears its black finish with an attitude that only decades of automotive evolution could produce. Custom craftsmanship defines every angle of this all-steel bodied machine - from the frenched headlights with tri-bar lighting to the expertly shaved fender and hood trim. Louvers punched into the front hood add both style and function while the two-piece front window breaks up the sleek silhouette. Budnik wheels - 17" up front and 18" in back - wrapped in 245/45ZR17 front and 255/45ZR18 rear tires give this classic a modern stance while maintaining its vintage identity.

Black leather interior creates the perfect contrast against the midnight exterior. The upgraded split-bench front seat with armrest offers both comfort and style for cruising. Modern convenience meets classic aesthetics with power windows, manual door locks, and shaved door handles with electric remote door poppers. The dashboard houses AutoMeter gauges keeping tabs on vital functions while a Lokar automatic shifter sits within easy reach. Entertainment comes courtesy of an Alpine AM/FM/CD player with Bluetooth capability positioned discreetly in the trunk atop a custom speaker box, accessible behind a Velcro cover.

Massive power comes from a 502 V8 engine mated to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Performance upgrades include a high-rise aluminum intake topped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. The ignition system has been modernized with MSD components including a Pro Billet distributor for reliable operation. Cooling is handled by an upgraded aluminum radiator with electric fan assembly while dual exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers provides the soundtrack. Front suspension features Mustang II-style components with coilovers, tubular A-arms, and rack & pinion steering while the rear utilizes leaf springs with traction bars for improved grip.
