Vehicle description

Our 1940 LaSalle Series 50 convertible comes from the final year of LaSalle production. The car is finished in blue with a tan convertible top over a black interior, and power is from a 322ci Cadillac monobloc V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Built on the General Motors “C” chassis with a body by Fisher, the car features dual side-mount spare tires, a Torpedo hood ornament, running boards, and turn signals. The Fisher body tag lists a body style of 5027, a two-door coupe, and a factory color of Knickerbocker Gray. The car is now finished in blue with a tan convertible soft top. Fender-mounted headlights and triple hood vents were part of a restyling for the model year, and optional fog lights are equipped. The steel wheels are equipped with LaSalle-branded hubcaps with good whitewall tires. The interior is upholstered in black vinyl with a metal dash and features a banjo-style steering wheel, a column-mounted shifter, waterfall dash trim, and manually operated windows. The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles. True mileage is unknown. Decoding the Fisher body tag yields the following information: • Style No. 40-5027 – Two-door coupe • Trim No. 23 – Black leather • Paint No. 4 – Knickerbocker Gray The 322ci V8 and produced 130 horsepower when new. The car reportedly sat for several years before our acquisition. Recent work by the previous owner includes a fluid change and replacement of the battery and points. Please remember this car started life as a coupe and was converted to a convertible many years ago with a period correct top. The sidemounts were added. The mechanicals are good and can be enjoyed as a daily driver but the body and paint, for most people, will need attention. Overall, a #4 car that can be enjoyed as is or taken to the next level. Inspection and test drive encouraged. Sold on a Vermont DMV Bill of Sale. Reduced to $17,500 for quick sale.
