The Lady LaSalle
My colored pencil drawing of a 1939 LaSalle Cadillac hood ornament.
From Wikapedia
"LaSalle was an American brand of luxury automobiles manufactured
and marketed, as a separate brand, by General Motors' Cadillac division
from 1927 through 1940. Alfred P. Sloan, GM's Chairman of the Board,
developed the concept for four new GM marques brands - LaSalle,
Marquette, Viking and Pontiac - paired with already established brands
to fill price gaps he perceived in the General Motors product portfolio.
Sloan created LaSalle as a companion marque for Cadillac. LaSalle
automobiles were manufactured by Cadillac, but were priced lower than
Cadillac-branded automobiles, were smaller, and were marketed as the
second-most prestigious marque in the General Motors portfolio. LaSalles
were titled as LaSalles, and not as Cadillacs.
Like Cadillac - named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac- the
LaSalle brand name was based on that of another French explorer,
René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.[citation needed]"
