I think back in those days you had the car sent to "your" coach builder and they fabericated the body. The car maker built them to the cowl and then you were on your own.

Didn't Dusenberg do them that way aswell ?

 

Hi, Bob, you are probably right. "Coachbuilt," rather than custom is probably the proper term. Sometimes I just plain can't find the right word, so THANKS for jumping in, bro!

 

Here's a really nice color ad for the '39 Nash
and the second-to-last LaFayette. It's from
a site SunRoofCord steered me to. The LaFayette
was over-staying it's welcome at Nash, having
come under Charlie Nash's wing in 1924 when
it had been an independent. But that said, the
LaFayette was a quality car like the rest of the
Nash line. This is a FUN ad to read, seeing how
they promoted the various features, many of
which were state-of-the-art for the time.
