We actually planned to build
this 1940 La Salle (Cadillac) Australian body sedan (by Holden). Fit with a Series 2 XJ6
Jag front and rear end to give 4 wheel disc brakes, full independent suspension and power
rack and pinion steering, then fit a late model Cadillac 472 and Turbo 400 auto for lots
of torque and towing ability. The roof has then been chopped about 3 inches to bring the
body into proportion and of course the car has been drastically lowered. The body and
chrome work is otherwise absolutely original including the magnificent La Salle grille! A
classy leather interior would be fitted for comfort and that beautiful smell. Centreline
wheels complete the look. This would be the rarest and classiest family rod at the rod
run! The only minor problem is that only 10 of these cars were ever actually made RHD.
(Although we do have two of these for genuine sale - see the Cyber Swap Meet)
