1928 LaSalle Series 303 Convertible Coupé for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1928 LaSalle Series 303 Convertible Coupé is a used car showing 95,630 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Black with a Black interior.

Offered as a restoration project, this four-passenger convertible coupé spent many years as a static exhibit at the Tupelo Automobile Museum in Mississippi. It appears complete, and the V8 is still in place, though it has not run for a long time and will need thorough servicing before it turns again.

Most of the cabin trim survives and the upholstery has aged well for a car of 1928. The bodywork is presentable but needs work, with some early corrosion that the dealer says is not structural. It is kept in the seller's storage depot and can be seen by appointment only.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The LaSalle Series 303 uses the 303 cubic inch (4,966 cc) Cadillac-built side-valve V8 at 90 degrees, rated at 75 PS (55 kW), with a three-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, with a twin-disc clutch from 1928. Leaf-sprung rigid axles and mechanical four-wheel brakes, with Lovejoy hydraulic dampers for 1928. Harley Earl designed it, the start of his thirty-year career at General Motors.

FAQ

This LaSalle Series 303 in the European market

Can this LaSalle be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this LaSalle Series 303 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €2,263 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €38,500, 1601% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1927 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

Who is selling this LaSalle Series 303, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this LaSalle Series 303 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this LaSalle Series 303 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
