LaSalle auto wrench (after 1934)
« on: April 09, 2013, 08:54:11 PM »
We took off north for foreign reaches within the great Commonwealth of PA today.  Along the way, I picked up what I now believe to be a later LaSalle (after 1934) auto wrench. I had originally believed this wrench to be earlier (1927) before I exchanged several informative emails with the GM Heritage Center.  LaSalle's had wire wheels through the 1934 model year. From 1927 - 34, the Wire Wheel Corporation of America wrenches for wheel removals. 

The specifics on the wrench's dimensions:
Length:  8 11/16 inches
Width:   1 3/4 Inches
Large Hex opening:  1 1/2 inches
Middle opening: 1 1/4" long by 1 1/16 inches high
Small Hex opening: 1 inch
