1938 Cadillac Lasalle Series 38-50 Coupe

Additional Info:

1938 LaSalle Series 38-50 Two-Door CoupeOriginally purchased for our own shop to build into a premium restomod cruiser, we have decided to pass this incredible project onto another enthusiast due to a backlog of other builds. We originally selected this LaSalle specifically for its exceptional structural integrity. Having spent the vast majority of its life in California, it boasts a remarkably solid body. It moved to a collector in 2021 and is now available in our Ohio showroom.The LaSalle lineup was famously refreshed for 1938, introducing a modern single-piece front-opening hood, a wider grille, and longer hood louvers. This Fisher-built body rides on a generous 124 wheelbase, combining stunning Art Deco styling with excellent potential for a factory restoration or a custom restomod.Mec
