Meaningless words. In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning. Words like romantic, plastic, values, human, dead, sentimental, natural, vitality , as used in art criticism, are strictly meaningless, in the sense that they not only do not point to any discoverable object, but are hardly ever expected to do so by the reader. When one critic writes, "The outstanding feature of Mr. X's work is its living quality," while another writes, "The immediately striking thing about Mr. X's work is its peculiar deadness," the reader accepts this as a simple difference opinion. If words like black and white were involved, instead of the jargon words dead and living, he would see at once that language was being used in an improper way. Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable." The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Petain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.

“Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day; death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.” -- Revelation 18:6-8

Beautiful and historic La Salle Speedster from the glamor days of Hollywood. One can imagine Mr. Gable arriving in style at a popular night spot in this car.
This is a 1937 Cadillac La Salle Speedster/Roadster owned by Clark Gable given to him as a gift by Carole Lombard.
Early 1935, The La Salle’s were being modified as Speedster’s/Roadster’s. The Son of GM’s Don Lee Cadillac (of Cadillac Motors) had a 1937 La Salle Speedster rebuilt by Frank Kurtis that sold for $440,000 Dollars in 2007. (Kurtis was residing in Parker, AZ). Kurtis was known for his modification of Howard Darrin’s “the Darrin of Paris” chassis.
In 1937, Carole Lombard had this 1937 Cadillac La Salle Speedster/Roadster created for Clark Gable by Hollywood Coachworks under Frank Kurtis.

In 1937 the LaSalle, a companion marque for General Motors' Cadillac Division, returned to sharing chassis and bodywork with the smaller Series 60 Cadillac model. The previous coupe of years the division had released modified Oldsmobile Straight-Eight based vehicles. The car featured the smaller of the Cadillac V8 engines, and rode on the shortest version of the Cadillac chassis. Bodywork was similar, with notable differences in the radiator grille treatment and hood (bonnet) styling.
The LaSalle companion marque lasted until WW II, but did not continue after the war.
This Lego miniland-scale LaSalle 1937 Custom Speedster has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 83rd build challenge, - 'Only in America', - featuring cars from the USA.
