Yes, the LaSalle was in a way an entry level Cadillac. When GM brought out the Cadillac Seville in 1975, they seriously considered naming it the LaSalle, but decided against it because the original was a poor seller, due to the Depression.
We'd cut out about 2 feet from the Seville, lengthen the nose, and put on fake wire wheels...Pompano Beach in the late '70's.
Pimp my ride!
Sold it @ 40K IIRC. I think they're still using the same basic design, putting out 'fancy stuff' that I think they call 'Excaliburs'.
