Sketch, "LaSalle for 1940," by Jon W. Hauser, 1938
01
Artifact Overview
General Motors introduced LaSalle for 1927 as a "companion car" to Cadillac. LaSalle automobiles were priced below those from Cadillac, but generally featured Cadillac engineering and quality -- though LaSalle used significant Oldsmobile parts in the mid-1930s. LaSalle sales were slipping when this design proposal for a 1940 model was created. GM ended LaSalle production after the 1940 model year.
