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

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

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

My 3rd grade teacher had a LaSalle convertible.

I’m guessing it was 1938?

That line is an often misheard lyric.

I always heard it as We were all a cell rat’s mate.

LaSalle was the entry level brand for Cadillac before the GM restructuring of the Cadillac brand.

Think of it like what Toyota did with Scion.

LaSalles were made by Cadillac, but not labeled as Cadillacs. They were a slightly cheaper version of Cadillac. The brand was discontinued in 1941. In the GM hierarchy of things, it would have been below Cadillac but above Buick. Cadillac, LaSalle, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and then Chevrolet.

LaSalle... back when GM took pride in a name:

René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle

(Unlike, say, the Cadillac Lyriq or the Buick Enclave)

The 1927 LaSalle looks pretty amazing!

It was a Cadillac production...
Had one, a 1938 convertible coupe, for about 3 months when I was a Jr in HS (1949)...
Traded it to a classmate for 2 1936 Plymouths...
