Dave,
I don't recall if I ever asked before or not...do you have a model breakdown of the production numbers you just cited? I think you know my interest is in the 1929 numbers in particular.
Thanks.
Allan - I know that GM Canada Vintage Services (1-888-467-6853 - 8 to 5 Eastern time) doesn't have all the production information going back that far, but they may have information regarding the paint and trim codes. You have to be prepared to pay for it though (not excessive).

Well I tried emailing the only email I found for the Mclaughlin club (we'll see what comes out of that) and I'll go from there. I've found a few sites for parts, but I'm still interested in more, and I'll probably try the vintage services(thanx derek). Thanx for the production info Dave...

Dear Derek:
Simple answer: No, but I wish I did. I've looked all over for it and that was one of the reasons I went to Oshawa in 2006. What I have is all makes of GM of Canada year by year (1908 - 1971), including those makes that are Canadian only, like Arcadian.
IF ANYONE KNOWS OF, OR HAS EVER SEEN, A BREAKDOWN BY MODEL WITHIN YEAR FOR MCLAUGHLIN/GM OF CANADA, PLEASE SEND ME INFO ON ANYTHING YOU KNOW AND YOUR SOURCE.
IF SOMEONE KNOWS OF THIS INFORMATION FOR GM OF CANADA FOR ANOTHER MAKE (CHEVY, CADILLAC, ETC), PLEASE RESPOND !!!
Regards, Dave Corbin

Well, I got a reply from Bill McLaughlin, and he cannot help me with the info I require because he specializes in the 1929 models. His site is here;
http://www.29buick.ca/
And Dave, although I didn't ask, he could probably have a lot of information at least for the 1929 model year.
As for Bob James, I have his contact info, and will try to get more info from him in future.

Allan,
The only difference I have found between 1936 Mclaughlin Buick and Buick are the wheels,hubcaps,trunk emblem and interior trim.The MclBuick has clips on hubcaps rather than on the wheel.I have spare wheels but have been unable to find a fourth Mclaughlin buick hubcap since 1999.
Your best source for used body or mechanical parts is Dave Tacheny in Minnesota.
Dave,
I can provide a list of all McLaughlin Buick models from 1930 to 1937 but not the production numbers for each model. For example , model 4419 was a 5 passenger regular sedan with trunk while the 4499 was a 5 passenger deluxe sedan with trunk.Model 4416 was a chassis only.They made 22 different models in 1936.1930-14,1931-20 etc.
My Mclaughlin Buick shop manuals list models but not the totals for each.
I have a 1935 4499
a 1936 4499
a 1930 model 47
and a 1930 model 61

That's a shame Dave. I did some math though. Based on production listed in the Standard Catalog of Buick, 7014 out of 187861 1929 Buicks were model 51 (like mine) which works out to about 3.7%. If one extrapolates that to the 7131 1929 McLaughlin Buicks produced, there would have been 266 Model 51 McLaughlin Buicks. Of course, that is simply an estimate. With our cooler climate, I would expect a higher proportion of closed cars in Canada when compared to the US.
I wonder though if those production figures include the McLaughlin Buicks.
Anyway, back on topic, Allan, Keith Horsfall might be a good person to contact. He's been involved with the McLaughlin Buick club and is formerly the BCA Technical Advisor for McLaughlins (although on my 1929, he deferred to Bill McLaughlin and Lind Coop, who deal with 1929s). I've got an e-mail address for him around here somewhere...I'll send it to you shortly.
