Description

  This is a rare 1938 LaSalle 50 Series Two Passenger Coupe that is

  an excellent driving car that has been restored as needed to

  produce a wonderful touring car. Being a California and Arizona

  car, it remains rust free and well preserved. But the magic of this

  LaSalle is in the driving experience. This is likely the fastest

  CCCA Full Classic that we recall driving. While there remain areas

  for future improvement (such as replacing the original discolored

  glass), this is a car that will provide instant enjoyment. This was

  purchased new in Los Angeles, California and enjoyed two long time

  owners. This Two-Passenger Coupe is one of only 2,711 produced in

  1938 and is a rare sight to see today. By 2006, the LaSalle was

  acquired by Mr. Bob Walker from its last owner in Avondale, AZ. Bob

  had a similar LaSalle while he was in high school in Idaho Falls,

  Idaho and had to sell it to attend college out of state. He

  regretted selling his beloved LaSalle for the next 40 years. Since

  2006, Mr. Walker improved the car and kept it very original and

  correct. He has recently passed, and we are selling it on behalf of

  the estate. The livery is presented in Fairhaven Blue (Paint Code

  11) and was repainted years ago in lacquer. There are areas of the

  paint where there is the normal lacquer cracking and a few small

  areas where the paint has peeled away. Most of the chrome is

  original and has light pitting. The bumpers and door handles have

  been re-chromed and look nice. We love the long front end devoid of

  side mounted tires. This makes the front end appear much longer and

  gives it a very sexy profile. The split windshield also gives it a

  fast look. Overall, the exterior is in tour quality condition

  enabling it to be shown at local car shows. The interior is a

  correct gray Ribbed Cloth (Trim Code 33) and is very correct in its

  appearance and workmanship. The door panels are gray wool

  broadcloth. Behind the front seats are two jump seats, which would

  normally be referred to as an Opera Coupe. The carpet is a gray

  nylon that is a terrific color match to the upholstery. There is a

  well installed turn signal lever under the dash that is very well

  placed for ease of use. Overall, the interior presents well and has

  been redone over the years to appear correct. The magic of this

  1938 LaSalle is under the hood. The correct 322 CID V8 has

  excellent power and is pared to the three-speed manual

  transmission. The engine and engine compartment are well detailed

  and look sharp. The chassis has been very well cleaned and painted.

  The chassis has been well maintained with excellent brakes,

  suspension and steering. The joy of this LaSalle is driving it. The

  engine revs freely and has excellent power. We assume that the Two

  Passenger Coupe is likely one of the lightest bodies, which makes

  the performance that much more impressive. It is a joy to drive,

  and to drive fast. It is nimble and maneuverable, not at all CCCA

  Classic in its performance! The wiring harness, gas tank, shocks

  and bushings have all recently been replaced. Mechanically, this

  LaSalle is ready to be toured in and enjoyed. In the trunk is the

  spare wheel, jack and wheel wrench. The original trunk mat is

  present and in wonderful original condition. This LaSalle comes

  complete with a huge collection of manuals, spare parts and

  accessories as well as file history. For more information and

  details, please call or text or Harry Clark at 1. or

  email us at [email protected]. This Coupe is available for

  viewing and inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased to

  offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help

  coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if

  you are interested in financing.
