The first thing is to be involved with Dean Tryon's 1915-1918 Buick McLaughlin Buick Newsletter Group.

 One can not get more specific than this for help.

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

 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.

Welcome to the club.  All of us that have these old parts and the means to buy extra parts we do.  At some time in the future if you drive you car, you will need parts that either you or someone in the group can help you with.  Be prepared to trade parts, information, and help.  We all here are helpful.

Got it home!!!! pictures maybe tonight I will wipe off big chunks first. The Bodynumbers: K5   4140,  engine 1660. The engine is enclosed no valves or push rods to see. All pictures I see are open valves and push rods. Maybe late 18 or is it all wrong?

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

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.

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.
