Nowadays concept cars are often slightly more extrovert versions of soon-to-be on-sale series production vehicles. Seldom are they far-out turbine powered flights of fancy. But back in the fifties they were! Led by GM's Motorama, the US auto industry's vision of the future truly was mind-blowing. Here we have Minichamps' first release in their American Dream Cars Collection, the LaSalle Roadster. Reminiscent of the early 50's Corvette or the Nomad concept, the LaSalle delights the eye from every angle. Have a look at the video to hear some of its history.
