no doubt they are all rascals, bon vivants, and raconteurs

Col. Sam McLaughlin drove his McLaughlin buggy to his office at GM Oshawa during the gas rationing days of WW2.






McLaughlin Motor Car Company Limited was a Canadian manufacturer of automobiles headquartered in Oshawa, Ontario. 

Founded by Robert McLaughlin, it once was the largest carriage manufacturing factory in the British Empire. 

Robert McLaughlin founded the McLaughlin Carriage Company in Enniskillen, Ontario, in 1869. McLaughlin soon moved the company to Oshawa, a larger city a few miles away.

Around 1905, Robert's son Sam started building cars, and is most commonly associated with the McLaughlin-Buicks, it started out in car manufacturing building 154 of them in 1907.

In 1907,  Sam McLaughlin, son of Robert, created the McLaughlin Motor Car Co. after visiting the United States and discovering that automobiles were becoming a modern luxury. 

It was after this tour that R. S. McLaughlin decided to use Buick engines and chassis with McLaughlin bodies to create the McLaughlin-Buick automobile.

In 1915, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co. of Canada was formed.

In 1918, McLaughlin and Chevrolet merged with General Motors to create General Motors of Canada.

I'm not picking up on why have the jump seats on this 1912 Cole. But treadless tires on the snowy roads? That must have been about useless


I wonder what the reason was to carry the passengers. That strikes me as an uncomfortable ride
