its principal concurrent : Packard, but the 1948 face-lift and then the new
V8 engine with rocker arm from the following year leaves its competitors in
the high class back.
The brand Lasalle comes from the name of another French explorer and it's a
Cadillac bench mark. It uses not only the same bodywork, but another parts from
the group GM as well. Lasalle is a commercial failure, the brand will be cancelled
in 1940.
