I know nothing about these, so my only comment is that I think it’s cool and would look great in my garage.

The LaSalle was the companion brand to Cadillac, owning many similarities to GM's top tier luxury brand with slightly understated trim, wheelbase and engine specifications. This model was recovered from a barn in the local area and presented relatively intact with fair paint, good chrome and fair interior. Brown mohair interior appears original with with rips & tears in the seat. Runs and drive great!

Pardon the dust and grime, it's a barn find.

Seems fairly priced...Seems to me "Runs and drives great" doesn't go with "original barn find" still covered with dust.

It was probably gassed up and yard driven with the old oil still in it.

NOT a dual cowl, but still a fun car...........

 

Correct nomenclature........5 passenger phaeton with tonneau windshield.

Not the car but it looks a lot like a late friend's who had a cowl fabricated for it, he never intended to fake anything, he just wanted it. It came out of Torrington CT.  He finally got some big iron, but only enjoyed it for maybe 5 years.  That car was at the Greenwich concours last time I saw it as prior CT owners ultimately bought it back from my friend's estate.

It looks like leather upholstery to me??????

 

Cool anyway

Understandable. It is very intriguing. I would want a knowledgeable person to help inspect it. I have no idea on value.

It seems worth investigating in person,

or having a competent appraiser look at it for you-

Could be a fun driver for Glidden and Sentimental Tours,

but the leather repair doesn't come cheap.

 

Be sure to check out the wood structure for rot. and see if the "B" pillar has any motion to it.

Wood repair can get very expensive very quickly.

I had to "pass" on a 1927 LaSalle, as well as a 1934 Packard because both had quite a bit of motion in the "B" pillar. One dealer and well-known enthusiast even suggested that he would just use a hardware store 1"metal angle brace to support the pillar on the Packard he wanted to sell me, rather than a proper repair to replace the wood - obviously I didn't buy his car
