Mr. Richard Kughn certainly recognized the importance of the 1934 LaSalle when this particular example became available to him in 1973. In fact, he immediately arranged for purchase of this car when it was offered to him by its then Argentinean owner. One interesting aspect of this LaSalle was that it was also an original right hand drive example. Upon taking delivery of the car, which was still in mostly original condition, Mr. Kughn submitted the LaSalle for a through restoration.
Finished in a dramatic color scheme of orange with black fenders, drivetrain and chassis, the LaSalle displays its art deco style in dramatic elegance. It is fitted with a tan vinyl interior, black rumbleseat and tan top. While an older restoration at this point, the LaSalle has held up very well. It has only been driven a limited amount as the odometer shows just under 1,500 miles, which is believed to be since the restoration’s conclusion almost 20 years ago. It epitomizes the streamlined art deco look from its ancillary parts like the bumper, grille and headlights to the exhaust ports along the car’s hood.
A tribute this wonderful car, it received an AACA Primary First in the late 1990s, a Cadillac-LaSalle Club Primary First in 2004 and was last shown at the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance in 2004. Truly one of the most individual and impressive prewar designs, this 1934 LaSalle will always be considered art in both form and function.
