I was asked by a lady if I had ever seen this car in my travels. A 1929 Lasalle that belonged to her Grandfather Percy Cowen that sold the car in 1937. The car was on auction by Bonham's in 2011 and will not divulge the owner to her. Her goal is to be able to buy the car back if possible. Here is a link to the Bonham listing from 2011. There is nothing in this for me just trying to hook her up with the present owner if possible. Thanks for an help on finding this car.  http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19363/lot/468/

Saw one just like it in CA.  Same color but different wheels and has the fog lights.  This was in summer 2015.

Typical of Bonhams, terrified that a private deal would be made excluding them from their exorbitant profits. It would be lovely for the car to go back to the family.

I did a quick search and found that the car was auctioned again a year later:

So she needs to contact RM Sotheby's auctions now instead of Bonhams.
