Period

Unknown

Canada

This car was made in Canada and most probably purchased by a Canadian. McLaughlin-Buick cars were popular in Canada. The Buick-McLaughlin Motor Car Company Ltd started in 1907 with an agreement between owners of an important Canadian carriage maker, the McLaughlin family, and the rising American firm, Buick Motor Co. founded in 1903. In fact, in 1908, Buick was the number one producer of automobiles in United States. McLaughlin would be importing the engine and other Buick parts and doing the car bodies. Ultimately, in 1918, the firm became General Motors of Canada.

Function

Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.

Technical

According to records book, it seems that no model 33 would have been made in Canada. But since only 2 examples are known to exist, this a rare car. We can explain this by the fact that McLaughlin used to produce different body styles on the same chassis as Buick and numbered them similarly. A model 33 existed in United states in 1911. The number 36 is stamped under the front seat.
