A LaSalle of some sort?

No - but it's heavily based on another car from the same period, those two marques (the one I'm looking for and the car it's based on) starting with the same letter. It was built for a very short period, and was actually so popular that the company could not meet the demand for the car. The company was (subtly) renamed a couple of years later, and then went back to its original business, which was also related to the car industry.

It's a 1932 De Vaux Custom Cabriolet, retail price $825, says my Crestline litterature.
The Durant car website calls it a Convertible Coupe with a price of $945. Same car anyhow.

That's it! And as you've probably read, the car it was heavily based on was the Durant. The original business of the DeVaux company was building engines.
