I don't know about the Pierce-Arrow but now I will have to go back to the 
library and look up the LaSalle again.  I went in some time ago and copied 
the page about the 40 and I know there were model years after 1940 for the 
LaSalle.  I think probably 1942.  I do have some literature about Buick 
having an automatic in 1937 or 38.   Oh well,  talk to you later,
