    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!

    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!

    • @DavidSutherland-uv3lo
      @DavidSutherland-uv3lo 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Old battery quality was poor. Systems were 6 volt. 4 volts are required to crank fast enough to start. Winter cold could drop the battery to 4 volts. If the tune-up was perfect, the car might start. If not, push-start or hand crank. Push starting could see the bumpers override, and lock together, possibly causing body damage. Most manufacturers supplied a hand crank with the tire jack, up until the early 1950's when they switched to 12 volt, and with it, reliable starting.

    I'm an old fart. When I was a teenager, I was talking to an old fart, who told the story that when General Motors was first starting up, almost all of their cars were crap. Buick rear axles were weak because of not heat treating them (cost savings). When you came to a steep hill, you had to stop, then climb the hill in first gear. Any higher of a gear, and the axles would snap. Walter Chrysler became manager of the Buick division, and to solve this problem, he bought (for General Motors) the excellent McLaughlin automobile company (McLaughlin was using Buick motors, and they knew his company was in difficulties). Buick production stopped (switched over to McLaughlins). For 3 years they called the car McLaughlin-Buick (because everyone recognized it as a McLaughlin), until the new McLaughlin prototype was ready for production, and then the name went back to Buick. Cars built for Canada and the Commonwealth were still called McLaughlin-Buick until 1941.

    • @DavidSutherland-uv3lo

      Might have been cornflakes and toothpicks when he got it. Or maybe it had a fire. It sounds like he dropped the body onto a late model frame, and had to invent a dash. He did a great job on it, and it's back on the road, maybe exactly what his wife wanted. Shameful are guys who part out and then crush cars that he could have reframed or welded. But truth be told....if I've paid for a car, I'll push it off a cliff if I want.
