I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1937 Cadillac La Salle 50 Sedan.

Well, there's no such thing as a "Cadillac La Salle," but this car looks like it might be worth making an offer on.  Not a bad asking price based on the photos (assuming the engine will turn over).  If I had room for it, I would be interested.

Except for the cruddy bumpers, it looks in pretty good shape and should clean up well.

Banjo steering wheel and radio.

No side mounts, but you scarcely ever see them on a LaSalle sedan, and I think it looks better without them.

Hopefully the seller has the hubcaps. Hard to find, and nice ones are expensive. 

GM always made it clear in advertising that LaSalle was part of the Cadillac family, so I tend to give sellers a pass on that. When somebody at the gas station asks me what car I have (same year and model as this one), I usually get a quizzical look if I just tell them it's a LaSalle. 

Asking price isn't too bad. If the motor can be made to run for not too much money, it's a good deal.

Nice looking car at a very fair price. Is this because you assume the motor is stuck? Might be a fun project.

I'm wondering why the plug wires were pulled off the plugs. My first thought was that the seller put some penetrating oil down the plug holes to try to free the motor and didn't bother replacing the wires as he/she might have to do it again. I can't think of another good reason to pull the wires, but I've been told I don't know everything.

I'd really like a car like this, if I could only sell what I've got.
