The McLaughlin Car
Compagny of Oshawa, Ontario has proven to be one of Canada's most
successful manufacturers. From producing sleighs in 1867, the compagny was
the leading carriage builder in 1907 when Sam persuaded his father to
enter the automobile manufacturing business. A deal was struck with
Buick to build a car with a McLaughlin-made body and a
Buick engine.
«It's Better Because It's Canadian» was a slogan used to
promote their cars and with impressive detailing, superior chassis
construction and powerful engines, McLaughlins spelled class!
In 1918 the compagny was sold to become part of General Motors of
Canada, with the McLaughlins name continuing on the more expensive
cars. In 1939 a special McLaughlin-Buick was built for
the Royal Tour.
