The McLaughlin was made I’m Oshawa and Is beautiful. It looks so good in white. What a find. Love the t bird my favorite nascar was coor’s number nine of Bill Elliot and would love to see you’re magic on that one. That was a great day.
Great Buick McLaughlin you picked up! Having owned stock model A's (no oil filter) I ran straight 40 W (Non Detergent, used for stationary engines) for two reasons. One is the clearances on the Babbit bearings were no where as close as modern clearances so a thicker oil is better. Also the muck on the bottom of the oil pan ( no oil filtering system) is best left there where a detergent oil with clean the bottom of the pan and run these contaminants throughout your engine. Enjoy your 101 year old roadster!
Wow, I found a friend selling his Buick on line I grow up with named Numi who had some nice boats for the lakes with blown Buicks or Olds I can’t remember but he’s a Beauty on all sides!! Truck!!
Samuel McLaughlin was a carriage maker in Oshawa Ontario. In 1908 he started building Buicks under licence. This was the beginning of General Motors of Canada. Long live the Pontiac Turbo Firefly!
England got Mc Laughlin Buicks into the late 1930's but in New Zealand they got regular Buicks. Australia got bare chassis which were bodied by General Motors Holden.
We called it the ‘Bo-zone when you put the pedal down on the blown ‘bird, back in the 80s (first year model). Alludes to the boost gage jumping when the blower caught up to the pedal.
I bought a brand new 1990 Thunderbird SC from Ocean Park Ford In Whiterock BC. 3.8 SC loaded 5 speed. It was $35000 out the door Really expensive back In the day.
More trivia : His brother was the creator of Canada Dry Ginger Ale John J. McLaughlin was a pharmacist and beverage manufacturer who developed Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale. His brother, Robert Samuel McLaughlin, was a Canadian auto baron and founder of General Motors of Canada. By the way , great score ! Sounds like its got my Muncie M22 trans ;O) Jim .... Leamington , Ontario
So is this a 23-6-54 that's the only model with wire wheels. I have a U.S model 23-6-54 but floor is missing would like to see how your wood floor is built.
Cool old car!
