The final 1940 LaSalles were introduced in October 1939 with, as it had in its first year, a full array of semicustom body styles, including a convertible sedan. Harley Earl also oversaw this redesign. The LaSalle emerged with a smoothflowing design, its trademark thin radiator flanked by a series of thin chrome slots, giving it a futuristic look. In its final year sales of the LaSalle reached the second highest level ever at 24,133.

In the mid1920s, GM President and CEO Alfred P. Sloan perceived that his original five divisions Chevrolet, Oakland, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac had price gaps that needed to be filled. He came up with the Companion Make Program, which added Pontiacs sixcylinder for the price of a four between Chevy and Oakland, Vikings V8 models fit between Oakland and Oldsmobile, the more compact sixcylinder Marquette slotted between Oldsmobile and Buick and LaSalle went between Buick and Cadillac.
