Vector Motors, Wilmington, California, USA.  The WX-3 first appeared at the Geneva Motor Show in 1993.  Both a Coupe and a Roadster version were produced, but only one of each type was made. The Coupe had a twin turbo charged aluminium block 6 litre V8 engine. Vector Motors was formed by Gerald Wiegert.  The W in the WX stands for his name whilst the X signifies a prototype.   A big thing was made with Vector that the cars are "Made in the USA" but this didn't make the company a success.

More photos of the Breakfast Club Cruise-In coming soon.

LaSalle were manufactured by the Cadillac Motor Company, Detroit, USA.  It was the brand they used for slightly cheaper cars than the Cadillacs.  However, it was still a luxury brand costing around $3,000 in 1928.   A car like this was used as the pace car at the 1927 Indy 500. Although over 1,000 roadsters were made their survivors number only about 5.  Richard Stanley purchased this in 1999 and restored it to the current condition.  It has won a number of awards.
