For Sale: 1938 Cadillac LaSalle in Salem, Ohio

1938 LaSalle Series 38-50 Two-Door CoupeOriginally purchased for our own shop to build into a premium restomod cruiser, we have decided to pass this incredible project onto another enthusiast due to a backlog of other builds. We originally selected this LaSalle specifically for its exceptional structural integrity. Having spent the vast majority of its life in California, it boasts a remarkably solid body. It moved to a collector in 2021 and is now available in our Ohio showroom.The LaSalle lineup was famously refreshed for 1938, introducing a modern single-piece front-opening hood, a wider grille, and longer hood louvers. This Fisher-built body rides on a generous 124 wheelbase, combining stunning Art Deco styling with excellent potential for a factory restoration or a custom restomod.Mechanical & Chassis SpecsEngine: 322ci L-head V8 (130 HP when new)Transmission: 3-speed column-shifted manualSuspension: Independent coil-sprung front, live rear axle with leaf springsBrakes: 4-wheel hydraulic drums (New brake lines installed for this sale)Odometer: 9,000 miles (approx. 10 miles added during our ownership)Exterior FeaturesPaint: Classic green finishWheels: 16 body-color steel wheels with chrome coversTires: Vintage wide-whitewall tiresAccents: Distinctive two-piece windshield and driver-side mirrorCondition Note: Surface corrosion is present on the exterior bright trimInterior AppointmentsSeating: Period-correct gray cloth front bench with rare rear opera seatsSteering: Beautiful body-color banjo-style steering wheelInstrumentation: 110-mph speedometer with factory water temp, oil pressure, fuel, and battery gaugesAmenities: Vintage Philco AM radio and a locking gloveboxHonest Project NotesTo help ensure a transparent transaction, buyers should expect to address the following items to get this classic fully dialed in:The engine starts roughly when cold and the carburetor leaks fuel.The head gaskets show rust, and the factory air filter assembly is missing.
