For those Cadillac LaSalle experts, is this an authentic dual cowl car or a later conversion?   I am not trying to knock this car just trying to recognize the difference and clues that distinguishes an actual dual cowl car from a later conversion.

Mark,

 

I just purchased a 1928Cadillac dual cowl phaeton survivor. Looking at my car and comparing this LaSalle, I'm suggesting this is an original. looking at some of parts, the windshield, the dual cowl and the way it fits it very much matches my car. 

If it is a repro someone spent a lot of time and money reproducing some very hard and difficult pieces to complete the project. I would like some additional rear compartment photos to be absolutely sure.

Thank you for your observations and insight.  I have more to learn to be able to spot those little details between an original and a conversion dual cowl.
