I am on my way to Langley Field and after that I shall go to New York, then back to Detroit for a few days before sailing. I have a telegramme from Olley, the Cadillac 16 can be shipped on April 1st, The LaSalle April 15 or 16th. The discount on the sixteen is 30% on the LaSalle 26%. I shall at least get a comparison between the LaSalle and the new small Buick before I leave Detroit. I feel that the exceptional cold must have had something to do with the valve spring failures and hope that you will be able to reproduce | ||
