To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 15 - 16 August 2025. rn$175,000 - $250,000 USD rnrnOne of the most beautiful American production cars of its erarnKnown ownership history, with only three caretakers since newrnOriginal body, chassis, and engine, documented by its build recordrnClass award-winner at the Pebble Beach Concours d'ElegancernA Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) Full Classicrn rnrnIt is often said that the 1934 LaSalle was one of the most striking cars of the Classic Era. While technically proffered as a junior Cadillac, it was its own excellent piece of engineering, and in fact borrowed liberally from the Cadillac V-16 parts shelves, including even the lights, dashboard, wheels, disc wheel covers, fender trim and chevrons, and bi-plane bumpers-the latter a beautiful touch exclusive to 1934. It was also a fine-driving automobile, as the first Cadillac product with hydraulic brakes.rnrnThe Series 50 Convertible Coupe offered here was acquired by Sam and Emily Mann in 2015, having been found stored for at least 20 years coated in cosmoline, as used by the military to preserve their equipment, in a hangar at a remote Long Island grass airfield. The seller claimed to be the second owner and that he had acquired the car from Percy H. Ballantine, a scion of the New York City brewing family. Research shows that the Ballantines had a winter property in Jacksonville, Florida, where Percy had been born in 1914; indeed, the build sheet indicates that the car was ordered through the Claude Nolan distributorship in Jacksonville, Florida, and sold under consignment by Dew Motor Company of St. Petersburg, to the 20-year-old heir.rnrnThe Vaseline-like cosmoline preservative coating had preserved the underlying sheet metal but had damaged the original paint. However the work of restoring the car to its original condition proved quite easy; as Mr. Mann notes, when stripped of paint, the sheet metal looked brand-new, without so much as a rust spot. The car needed little mechanical work and was immediately roadable. Following completion of the restoration, in rich black over a green interior, the car was shown at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, one of few LaSalles indeed to have graced that eminent event-and, even more impressively, achieved Second in Class. It has been fitted with a Borg-Warner electric overdrive to enable comfortable driving on tours in New England and California.rnrnOffered by the Manns today and a wonderful, much-enjoyed tour and show car in their hands, this is almost certainly one of the finest restored examples of the 1934 LaSalle-a spectacularly beautiful automobile then, and even more so now.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
