Harley Earl's LaSalle at Patent Room

I was feeling nostalgic, so I decided to take a stroll through the drawings at patentroom.com, where I came across this 1934 LaSalle design by General Motors' resident genius, Harley Earl.  For those who don't remember, LaSalle was a companion brand to Cadillac from the late 1920s into the early 1940s.
