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.
