For Sale: 1940 Cadillac LaSalle Convertible Series 50 Model 5067 – A Cherished, Fully Restored Family Heirloom!

Own a piece of automotive history with this breathtaking 1940 Cadillac LaSalle Convertible Coupe, Model 5067 – one of limited production.  Lovingly named “Buttercup” and meticulously restored by my father, a devoted lover of classic cars and LaSalle enthusiast, this final-year LaSalle shines in vibrant “Buttercup” yellow with a rich brown leather interior. With full photo documentation of its off-frame restoration and only 58,997 miles, this car has been a cherished part of our family for over 30 years. It’s with a heavy heart that we offer “Buttercup” for sale, but she deserves a new owner who will care for her as passionately as we have.

Why This LaSalle Shines

• Ultra-Rare: A true survivor, spared from WWII scrap drives, now restored to its former glory.
• Stunning Restoration: Off-frame restoration by my father, a LaSalle aficionado, with complete photo documentation. Every detail—from the radiant “Buttercup” yellow exterior to the supple brown leather interior—reflects his dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship.
• Iconic Design: Harley Earl’s “Torpedo” styling boasts flowing lines, a chrome-trimmed narrow grille, and a raked windshield. The folding soft top tucks away for open-air cruising, complemented by classic whitewall tires.
• Smooth Power: The 322 cu in V8 engine (buyer to verify) delivers refined performance, paired with a 3-speed column-shift manual transmission for an authentic, engaging drive. A ride that blends sportiness and luxury.
• Collector’s Dream: Fully restored LaSalles command $50,000+ at auction. At just $33,000, this Model 5067 is a rare chance to own a prewar legend with deep personal history at an incredible value.

A Family Legacy

• “Buttercup” has been more than a car—she’s been a labor of love for my father, who poured his heart into restoring and maintaining her. As a lifelong lover of vintage cars, especially LaSalles, he ensured every detail was perfect. After my father's passing & over three decades in our family, letting her go is bittersweet. We know she deserves a new caretaker that understands her needs and will cherish her as much as my father did.  This 1940 LaSalle Convertible is a masterpiece, blending Cadillac’s luxury pedigree with sporty flair at a fraction of the cost of a comparable Series 50.  “Buttercup” is ready to steal the spotlight at car shows, turn heads on Sunday drives, or anchor a high-end collection. Priced at an unbeatable $33,000, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a prewar icon in pristine condition before another collector claims her.
