I labored over identifying that car for a long tine last night. Trust me, it’s a lasalle. 1939.
The lines of the window/roof, the style of the running boards and front fender, the trim under the hood and the box on the fender and the hub caps are all ‘39 lasalle. The only thing that i found that conflicts that is the pillar post. Most examples of Lasalle coupes i could find had an angled pillar. The straight pillar was on the sedans. But that is a coupe.
I have not been able to find some definitive info on a variation between lasalle models for that year that may explain the straight post on that car.
But... i was thinking that maybe the car was a special order body that had a larger cab but in the coupe style given that His height was 7-1/2 feet, special accomodations must have been needed.
