McLaughlin Buick

[Maurice Donckers]

A friend of mine bought a wartime McLaughlin Buick , and has the restauration finished. But he is wondering if there should be any markings on it ?
The vehicle is right hand drive , and after the war was sold on to the private market , in this process , the car was sanded down , and given a Shiny brown color , so therefore no markings to be discovered .
Would these vehicles be used in the military , or in the government role ? There was some olive drab paint remains left under the bonnet .

Any help is appreciated

Maurice,

If you send me a private message with your email address, I will forward your question to a friend who has worked in the historical archives of General Motors in Oshawa, Ontario. If he can help you, I'm sure he will.
