George Smolinski Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 I just bought this. Are there any LaSalle nuts out there that can help find a few parts? 5
auburnseeker Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 So what parts do you need? There seem to be quite a few of these left especially in Sedan form and Guys with parts staches accumulated to restore their cars which are now Restored.
George Smolinski Posted July 1, 2017 Author Posted July 1, 2017 Running boards for sure. I will have to sort things out when I get it home. Any guesses as to what it's worth as it sits?
Fleek Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Be sure to post this in the Cadillac- LaSalle forum in the GM forum below this general forum. There are several guys there that may help you and I have seen threads about LeSalle parts there too. Congrats to you on your find and good luck.
keiser31 Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I have a pair of those chrome hood side trim pieces for a 1939 LaSalle. I also have some grille emblems for that car. The hood trim pieces are both in this condition....will probably clean up really well.... Edited July 1, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history)
auburnseeker Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Wow if I could find used 47 Hudson Chrome trim in that shape, I would be a happy camper. All of the stuff for my 47 I have found is worse than on the truck and whenever someone is parting one (sedan or truck), they already sold off all the pieces I'm interested in. Even most of the rechromed pieces are so crappy, I'll take my bumpy originals over them. Do you have any pieces for a 47 Hudson laying around Keiser?

Shoot me a pm with photos of what you need. You never know what I will find.
auburnseeker Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 I'll get a few shots later. I'm not sure if the caps are correct, but I'll shoot what's on it and see if you have any matches for those as I like them. Thanks. By the way those Lasalle caps if I'm not mistaken look like chrome and if they are those are pretty darn clean. You have a nice hoard. Of course it probably helps to be on that coast. Anything in the east is compost unless carefully stored.

Paul Dobbin Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Big project, but that's one of the fun parts of this hobby. Does asking the value indicate you may want to flip it?

It indicates that I'm curious if I paid too much, too little, or just right without disclosing first what I paid. Also, I've had offers to buy it already. 1
