"La Salle" or "LaSalle" ? We have already few "LaSalle" but I guess that the correct version is with a space? |

Sorry, I had mistaken. I checked G.M. web and English books in my shelf, all are uses "LaSalle" Japanese books tends to use with a space "La Salle", so I used "La Salle" unconsciously for long year. With your question, I have noticed the error for the first time. |

Both spellings have been used (on this and other Web sites); I think both are acceptable. However, IMHO, "La Salle" (with a space) is the MORE correct spelling of the two. After all it's French and comes from the name of the French explorer, Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (two words). You can read all about him in the "Cadillac Database", at this URL: http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/lasalle.htm ) |

Well, even if the man was named "La Salle" it does not mean that the company has the same name cf. DeLorean / De Lorean |

La Salle was one of several GM companion Marques, Oakland had Pontiac which eventually outlasted it, Buick had the Marquette, Oldsmobile had the Viking and Cadillac had the La Salle, The La Salle was basically a somewhat less expensive car than the Cadillac, But still offered a lot of the same type of luxury features as the Caddy but at a lower price, So people who had a substantial amount of money to spend and wanted a luxury car like talk Cadillac but at the same time felt that the Caddy might be a bit too flashy and ostentatious usually bought a La Salle instead. |

And most La Salles were powered by Caddy V8 engines as well. |
