1942 Nash 600 series?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a Nash of any kind.

An easy pro point, perhaps?

The curtain in the background and the rotating platform reminds me of Ford in house presentations..

1941 LaSalle prototype
(or concept car, call it what you want)

[Otto Puzzell]

That's right.

A 1941 LaSalle was planned and reached the design phase (as seen above), before General Motors ended the product line. In its place, Cadillac fielded the “Series 61”, which placed Cadillac’s prestige closer to reality for a larger group of people. In its first year, the "61" enjoyed a production of over 29,000 units, almost three times that of LaSalle’s 1940 production.
