LaSalle was an American brand of luxury cars manufactured and marketed, as a separate brand, by General Motors' Cadillac division from 1927 through 1940. This is a privately-owned 1929 LaSalle, BF 9759.
Seen driving around Gilbert, Arizona. Restored to perfection.
Thanks to my Flicker Friend I've learned this is a 1929 Ford Model A Coupe.
91 Years ago it was brand new.

Le Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu à La Malbaie est un majestueux hôtel perché sur une falaise surplombant le fleuve Saint-Laurent, imprégné de plus d'un siècle d'histoire et d'élégance. Niché au cœur de Charlevoix, Le Manoir Richelieu accueille des générations de voyageurs depuis son ouverture en 1899. Le premier bâtiment, un grand hôtel en bois de 250 chambres, fut tragiquement détruit par un incendie en 1928, mais rapidement reconstruit en 1929, adoptant un style château qui dessine encore aujourd'hui sa silhouette. Au fil des décennies, le Manoir changea de propriétaires à plusieurs reprises et une partie fut transformée en Casino de Charlevoix, inaugurant une nouvelle ère de luxe et de divertissement. Le Manoir a accueilli des dignitaires, des célébrités et même le sommet du G7 de 2018. Aujourd'hui, sous l'enseigne Fairmont, il propose 405 chambres, un parcours de golf de renommée internationale et des vues panoramiques qui continuent d'inspirer artistes, poètes et photographes. Le point fort de notre séjour au Manoir Richelieu a été l'expérience gastronomique au restaurant Le Saint-Laurent, qui mettait à l'honneur des produits locaux de grande qualité et offrait une vue exceptionnelle sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent.

**************
Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in La Malbaie is a majestic cliffside hotel overlooking the St. Lawrence River, steeped in over a century of history and elegance. Nestled in the heart of Charlevoix, Le Manoir Richelieu has welcomed generations of travellers since its original opening in 1899. The first structure, a grand wooden hotel with 250 rooms, was tragically destroyed by fire in 1928, but swiftly rebuilt in 1929, adopting a château-style design that still defines its silhouette today. Over the decades, the Manoir changed hands multiple times and part was transformed into the Casino de Charlevoix, ushering in a new era of luxury and entertainment. The Manoir has hosted dignitaries, celebrities, and even the 2018 G7 Summit. Today, under the Fairmont banner, it offers 405 rooms, a world-class golf course, and panoramic views that continue to inspire artists, poets, and photographers alike. The highlight of our stay at Le Manoir Richelieu was our experience of gourmet cuisine with quality local ingredients at Le Saint-Laurent restaurant with the exceptional St. Lawrence River View.

Located in the wooded hills of the Wood Mountain Uplands, the community of Rockglen is central to an area rich in Indigenous and archeological history. It is a full-service community that offers a variety of businesses and facilities to its residents and visitors alike. The town and surrounding area provide endless choices for recreational activities including boating, hiking, touring, photography, hunting and a variety of local events.
Vestiges from before the last ice age, a land of hidden treasures, petrified wood and fossils, hammers and arrows of the Assiniboine, Plains Cree, and Blackfoot peoples. But it is the followers of Sitting Bull who left one of the strongest impressions. Following the Battle of Little Bighorn 5,000 Lakota Sioux Lakota fled to the Wood Mountain Uplands where they were under the jurisdiction of the North-West Mounted Police under the command of Major James Morrow Walsh. The hills, first surveyed by the Henry Youle Hind expedition in 1858, were used for hunting by day, and at night fires could be seen of meat being smoked. In 1879 the U.S. Cavalry set fires in Montana that spread and burned the grasslands of Rockglen, causing the ensuing famine and leading to the toponym "The Burning Hills".
It is in these Burning Hills where the Ferbane ranch was located. By 1910 the homestead became a post office, soon German and Austro-Hungarian settlers built homesteads out of tar paper shacks and sod huts. Wood building were built for businesses, such as the pool hall, which also contained the Wesley Methodist church, which became the Wesley United Church of Canada in 1925; Valley City became an unofficial community.
To the north the Kent homestead became a post office in 1915. Soon thereafter Beromé Prefontaine built a store and by 1917 Joeville, named for Joseph Prefontaine, was founded as a village. In 1926 Joeville was a prosperous community when the Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line south from Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Alberta Pacific both built elevators along the line. Joeville split into the French community of Liseux near the new elevators and 26 buildings were moved south to the new CPR junction near Valley City. Valley City was relocated north of the tracks and incorporated as the Village of Rockglen in 1927.
Services were soon established in the tiny village. Mr. Sproul ran a school out of the Pinking Hotel on Centre Street. It was a community effort with desks and blackboards furnished by local carpenters and fundraising organized by Mr. Sproul. To the relief of Centre Street commerce a proper school house was built in 1928. It had three rooms: Mr. Preston as principal and two classes instructed by Miss Campbell and Miss Jarvis. In 1929 the Red Cross built a hospital, and a permanent post office was built, as was a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, and Charlie Switallo’s hardware store, which was the longest running Rockglen business to date.
Electric lighting was provided from 1929–1950 by the Rockglen Power Company, which ran every day from dusk to midnight, when three flashes indicated shut down. It wasn’t until 1950 when the Saskatchewan Power Corporation came to Rockglen that full 24-hour 120- and 240-volt electric service came to Rockglen.
The depression caused rural decline which was furthered by mechanization of agriculture during the later stages and in the time following the Second World War. Nearby Constance and Strathcona were dissolved and the one-room rural school houses were replaced by a system of buses and Bombardier tracked vehicles for winter use. Rockglen grew to a population of 500 persons when incorporated as a town with L. J. Bolster elected the first mayor. During the 1960s a new school was constructed, as well as a new post office, school office, Imperial Bank of Canada, and hotel.
The late 1970s saw a rise of inflation, combined with exceptionally high grain prices; many farmers retired and moved into Rockglen. In 1975 construction began on the Poplar River Power Station in nearby Coronach commissioned in 1981. 1981 also saw the construction of a new Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. This is currently the last elevator in Rockglen and is owned by Poplar Valley Producers Co-operative. The resulting population influx had led to development of homes along Second Avenue and construction of Hillcrest Drive. To date, these are the newest housing developments in Rockglen. In 1988, Rockglen resident Jack Wolfe was elected as a Progressive Conservative Member of Legislative Assembly a position in which he served until 1991.
