Glad to see you on uTube! Rust Valley is a fun show and I love to see your work as shown. I grew up in Osoyoos and Oliver. I got my first full time job out of uni and went in with my parents and bought the vacant waterfront lot next to their house at the north end of Osoyoos lake in 1973. We paid $2500 dollars for it!
@@killerkustomsBTW. As a member of the Coach Masters Car Club in Oliver B.C. We sponsored what I believe to be the very first international Off Road Race in the late 60s early 70s. We held it in the hills on the east side of the canal (probably a vineyard now), between Oliver and Osoyoos. It was so long ago I forget many of the details, except that is quite successful considering that it was set up and run by a bunch of car enthusiast kids. Bill Barisoff of Oliver formerly a MLA and BC Government Minister was president of our club.
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.
There is /was a body kit available for that style T-Bird made by a company called Easy Rods. It sort of makes the T-Bird look like a 49 - 51 Ford, and it is a no weld conversion.
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!
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.
Both nice cars, in their own respect. As mentioned, it’s a common problem on the SuperCoupes, the harmonic balancer bolt snaps…gotta drill the bolt out of the crank. There used to be aftermarket solutions available, that are stronger than the stock Ford stuff
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!!
This came recommend to me and not far into video. Hey in states we have 8 volt batteries at almost all parts store and they turn starter better and won't hurt a thing
Just found your channel, absolutely am amazed at this find of this beautiful old 'girl! Awesome condition, very rare car! T-Bird ain't half bad, either! looking forward to following along! Just subscribed!
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
I scapped a 90 SC solid body, no motor (regret). Still have one and it is common to have balancer failures on those. I assume from belt pressure from the baby supercharger. Shine yours up and enjoy it
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.
It has what's called a "straight box" transmission. It needs to be double clutched to avoid grinding the gears. Once you do that, the gears mesh seamlessly.
I'm one of those guys that's OK with respectful mods to old cars, especially if blown or missing original engine, but what that "street rodder dude" did to the dash of that beautiful mid 1920's Buick roadster is unforgivable....... Has he no shame???? Some old guys have no brains or class... Thanks for saving the white one !!!
Y'all do know that Biblical scholars researched and found out that Jesus drove a Ford.... says he ended up having to walk every where he went soooo....lol
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.

The convertible looks like a fun summer cruiser

Both nice cars, in their own respect.

I respect the fact that he suggested Barrett Jackson to sell it. I was thinking the same. Nuff respect!!!
Those were some nice old cars that he had . I liked the one with the rumble seat. lol, we used to call that seat the mother-in-law seat cheers

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.
Dennis Collins would be proud.
excellent
I sold my two Supercoupes, by far my favorite fords ever.
Should have let the old man drive. Insisted.
You got to start thinking SEMA next year already,
Maybe this is it?
You only regret the ones you don’t buy

U need to come to the Detroit dream cruise. Bondo my ass!

48:13 is that a crank starter on the front ?
Some cars had a crank hole up into the forties.
Which was bot by G.M..his mansion is still in Oshawa ont
How much did you pay for the McLaughlin?
a fair price :)
Só descobri vcs através do maike
Call it Pearl.
that's a good name !
I am a Ford guy.
MUST BE NICE TO HAVE MONEY TO BUY WHATEVER YOU WANT
I owned a super coupe and they were junk.
So sad you can drive that early 1900s vehicle home but have to trailer the 1990s. Today's fuel and Technology suck
It's a ford, what did you expect, they were notorious for engine problems.
Y'all do know that Biblical scholars researched and found out that Jesus drove a Ford.... says he ended up having to walk every where he went soooo....lol
I would have to pass on the Buick.
Not a big car guy
Wear your seat belts
I don't like Buicks. I would not have that car
Who cares? 😂
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.
