Title: 1927 1928 LaSalle roadster parts needed
Post by: Cadillac Kid on July 10, 2015, 07:09:06 PM
I've been working on a 1928 LaSalle roadster project for quite awhile.  One of the major parts I am missing is the top bows and window frame.  I've been looking for almost ten years and have only seen one set, which unfortunately I found out about too late, as it sold on eBay before I knew it was listed.  I may have to make this assembly from scratch, a big undertaking because of the many specialized and complex pivot points, etc.  If anyone has undertaken that endeavor and has drawings, I would sure be interested.  Thanks.

Hello D.
I have a '31 Lasalle ccp that I've been working on for years also. I have full size drawings of the top bows for a ccp but don't know how it will fit a roadster. I do have a spare set of bronze hinges that bolt to the body but again, don't know if they would be the same. I've been swapping out engines on my '30 sedan and my hands are too greasy to go near my Master Parts Book but I'll try to remember to look in the morning. I think I have the info some where for a fellow out NW whoa has a '27 roadster still in parts. He might be able to help.

Here is a complete 1929 Cadillac Roadster top with the bows left over from my restoration.

Bows will have to be replaced but, you could use this to make your patterns from.

Hinges are there also.

Let me know what you think.
