Hubert_25-25 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 RJP, Welcome to the Buick Pre War Forum. Attached is a link to the New Buick Owners list that I like to share to help you safely start your engine. A lot to think about but worth the effort. I added a note about the cotter pins to it. Looking forward to your pictures. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 rjp: Don't be scared of the offer. It is just that all of us Buick people know that there will be a need for something mechanical sooner or later and it is good to know that there may be a source for an elusive part. I bought my 1925 as a supposedly good running vehicle. After 4 years of fighting with the tired engine I finally had it rebuilt. I picked up a spare engine and did need some things from it.

Morgan Wright Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) K 45 is a 1920 Buick E = 1918 H = 1919 K = 1920 Model 45 was the most popular Buick for most of those years Look for the K 45 in the 1920 year here: Buick Pre 1930 General Specs (carnut.com) Edited December 23, 2020 by Morgan Wright (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjp Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 I donot think tags lie. I do not see a E any where other than the sellers notes. Maybe my car just gotyounger. Is there diff. in the dash between the 18 and 20 . Or anything else that stands out. Any frame stamps that I can find some where? Thanks Was there a KE-45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_Heil Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Correct Buick engine. NOT a Northway but some did get Northways. I’ve seen 2. No idea what CP means but a guess is Canadian Plant since the engine and chassis were shipped to Oshawa from Flint Congrats! Get to know Mark Shaw out your way.

dibarlaw Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I do believe that this was the car Mark Shaw referenced to me to several years ago in a Craigslist ad. As mentioned the photos in the ad were very poor. Now thinking back it was a 1920 K-45. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Wright Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I can't see your dashboard to see if its different from my 1918 but I think McLaughlin personalized their dashboards a little. I see you have a temperature gauge, I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 rjp: I sent a PM with your requested info. In your other thread you show photos of the car you now have. A 1920 K45. So how about a nice Christmas ad for a 1920 McLaughlin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Here is the 1920 K45 I negotiated on in the 1990s. Now in Germany. The Flint model 45 Buicks were finished in Special Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) The older owner put the temperature gauge where the Clock goes, but its just a after market one. If Icould find one I would like to put the clock back in, working or not roger Edited December 23, 2020 by rjp wrong (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 You have a very nice 1920 Canadian built McLaughlin. I like it. B-in law has one but in much worse condition. The Chassis is all Buick but the bodies were made by McLaughlin in Canada. Does it have the wooden mahogany dash? The bodies are similar to U.S. but not identical.

rjp Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yes the dash is all mahogany, And thank you. Looks like it will fun. I do need to have the wood spokes worked on. I would like to get the clock for it also, working or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 This McLaughlin-Buick ad was posted in the Christmas edition of the Farmer's Advocate magazine in 1919. Looks like yours. I'm guessing by December 1919 the 1920 models would be in production. Jim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
