80 Years of Cadillac Lasalle by Walter M. McCall
(Crestline Series)
Publication of this book is the realization of a long-held ambition to
provide for all admirers of the marque a single, authoritative reference
source that presents, in chronological sequence, a photographic record
of each and every standard production model and body style produced over
the fourscore years the Cadillac Motor Car Division has been in
existence. An undertaking of this magnitude, of course, requires much
planning, research and the co-operation of many people.
To the many fine people at Cadillac who cheerfully accommodated my
frequent research visits to 2860 Clark Avenue in Detroit since 1976,
especially former Cadillac Motor Car Division Public Relations Director
William J. Knight and his capable and helpful assistant, Norbert Bartos,
as well as the PR secretaries who were endlessly opening the archives
room for me and fetching various bulging file folders:
Most of the photographic and statistical data used in this publication
came directly from the Cadillac Motor Car Division's own archives and
records.
While the emphasis in this text is on production models actually offered
to the public through the Cadillac-LaSalle dealer organization, we have
endeavored to include a selection of prototypes, customs and
semi-customs, one-offs, specials and conversions. Similarly, because of
the significant aspect of Cadillac's business represented by commercial
chassis production since the mid-1930's, we have included at the end of
each chapter a cross-section of Cadillac-chassised funeral cars and
ambulances.
