Re: Favorite Classic cars, what are they.

The LaSalle. Built by Cadillac from 1927 through 1940. Only car ever built in the USA to be discontinued because it was too successful. (It was out selling the Cadillac and it was embarrasing to the Board of Directors). They attempted to revive it in 1963. A beautiful prototype was made with the LaSalle name all over it. At the last minute, they dropped the idea and gave the design to Buick. Hence - the 1963 Rivera. I have two 1939 LaSalles. An Opera Coupe and a 4 Door Touring Sedan. Both cars have the Very Rare dual sidemounts.
