1940' LaSalle Series 52

We are pleased to present this 1940 LaSalle Special Convertible Coupe. In the four months of production, March - June 1940, only 425 were built. As of 1996 only 23 had been found and documented. Later attempts to get an accurate count of the remaining examples have proven difficult as only 3 of the owners from the mid 90s still have their vehicles. This particular vehicle was restored and color changed from the original Long Key Green to Blue with matching two tone interior. The original engine and transmission operate as they should as can be verified by the fact that in 2007 this car completed the American Great Race from Concord NC to Anaheim CA. An Eight-day race covering almost 2,500 Miles! Mechanically and physically it has been kept in great shape since. The paint is in very good condition with a few minor flaws due to being driven. The same holds true for the interior. The white convertible top with a glass rear window is also in good shape. All the gauges work with exception of the odometer and speedometer that were disconnected for the race and never reconnected but were working at the time.
