Now there is something you don't see too often.  We need Jim our resident Lasalle expert to comment.   A 7 passenger??

5 Pass. Club Sedan. 1934. Out of the 4 model's offered in 34, the Club sedan was the lowest in production. Only 4 or 5 have survived.

Do we know which Duesenberg J this was?

I got a call from Randy Ema tonight and he explained this picture.   It is a Duesenberg radiator shell mounted on a Chrysler CL chassis.  Was being built in CA in the late 40s early 50s until the builder figured out that the J engine would not fit.  Then it was broken up for parts.    Some of the other photos show CA registration in the early 50s so that all makes sense.

Which I did not realize still existed.  I guess it is in England?

 

The Dymaxion car was a three wheeler concept car designed by Fuller in 1933.

Sad to say that it was built in part of the former Locomobile factory. I wouldn’t want to be in an accident in this beauty.

That's a replica built by the architect Norman Foster.
