I occasionally noodle around in Youtube memory lane, and All In The Family is a favorite place to straighten out my head.

But, what the heck's a Lasalle, anyway ?

It was a Buick model. But before that, it was a popular model of hearse.

Makes sense. LeSabre, LeBaron, Buick liked “French” names.

It wasn’t cheap—it was sold under the Cadillac division.

When I was a little kid, I thought the lyric said “G.I. roll a salary great!” Doh.

GM had a plan to get a car for every stage of a person’s life and career, starting with a Chevrolet as a young man and as you got older you could afford a better auto so then Pontiac, Olds, Buick, LaSalle then Cadillac. It worked fairly well, until the foreign car makers got into the US market. Now, there is just Chevy, Buick and Cadillac..............

Plenty of people in this country don’t know what pulling your own weight means let alone what a Lasalle is.
