CADILLAC-LASALLE CONTROLLED - ACTION RIDE Greatest Advancement in Riding Comfort Since Knee Action
Cadillacs and <strong>LaSalle</strong> Have SUPERLATIVE PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMY low Second High Performance means more than acceleration. The above illustration of <strong>LaSalle</strong> is typical but, in addition, smoothness and quietness are far superior to other cars. Each Cadillac is unexcelled in performance by any other make in its price class. Operating economy for each newmodel is superior to all cars of comparable size. Piston rings are ferrax treated, an abrasion resistant material which triples cylinder bore durability and improves oil economy immeasurably. 9-15-38 -11-
