That was to match it with the others, there are quite a few Touring Sedan /vehicles.php?make=LaSalle&model=Touring+Sedan&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on and regular "Sedan" /vehicles.php?make=LaSalle&model=Sedan&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on |

'The others' all need to have the body styles as model names edited out. Touring Sedan is not a model name, it is a body style and goes in the next box down. We don't HAVE to fill in every box. Seems to be an ongoing issue with the LaSalles. LaSalle had no model names because they only did one type each year. Much as Dodge did from 1914 til the mid 1920s - and quite a few other makes. In fact the Ford Model T was mostly known as 'the Ford car'. -- Last edit: 2017-12-16 07:46:31 |

Having identified model names means non-experts like me have a small chance of being able to make sense of our LaSalle collection if/when we stumble into them and helps bring consistency by focussing us on a steady set of names to avoid "new" creations. If LaSalle were precious enough to avoid model names, then that was up to them (and worth flagging up), but it would leave us with a messier collection which only experts could get to grips with. When makers tell us the sky is green, we can should be able to reject their claims if there's a better way of doing it. |

The point I am trying to make is that Touring Sedan is not a model name. In any given year all LaSalles were the same basic specification - there were no bigger or smaller models - unlike Buick for example who built up to four different series in a season. Ford only started making more than one model in the 1930s when they introduced the V8-60. Prior to that they were all the same each year - same engine, same chassis - just sometimes standard and deluxe version of the various body types. LaSalle didn't advertise models but from 1936 on they were all Series 50, which is why Cadillac avoided using that number. So to make my point, a LaSalle is just a LaSalle. |

I agree we don't have to fill in every box but it also makes the database more orderly. 'Touring Sedan' should be in extra info but is the error grave enough to move them all in one pot? |
