Starting with 1936, the Buick Special Series 40 model range represented the marque's entry level full-size automobile, it was also the first year that the Buick range was represented by names rather than simple number. The 1936 Specials rode on a 118 in (3.0 m) wheelbase, but for the next model year this was increased to 122 in as all Buicks grew in size. The eight cylinder engine was also new, and was now of 248 cu in (4.1 L) rather than 233 cu in (3.8 L), the Series 40 for the US market was powered by 5.8 litre engine, but in the UK 4 litres, even so the UK version 8 in line straight 8 OHV is fuelled by a duplex down draught Stromberg carburettor generating a useful 100 BHP . The Special (and all other Buicks as well) underwent a full restyling for 1939, with a more enclosed nose and a wider grille, and shorter wheelbase
McLaughlin-Buick
McLaughlin Motor Car Company Limited was a Canadian manufacturer of automobiles headquartered in Oshawa, Ontario. Founded by Robert McLaughlin, 1867 as carriage builders. 1905, Robert's son Sam started building automobiles. By 1907, this enterprise had grown to include the manufacture of McLaughlin automobiles with Buick engines. In 1915, the company manufactured Chevrolet vehicles for the U.S. and Canadian market. McLaughlin was taken over by General Motors in 1918 and merged into General Motors of Canada. General Motors Canadian Corporation spent $10 million building a Walkerville, Ontario, plant with the sale of the Chevrolet stock and establishing Canadian products. In 1923, the name of the Canadian-bodied model was officially changed to McLaughlin-Buick, a name that prevailed until 1942, after which Canadian built cars where simply known as Buick.
The countries of the British Empire – England, India, South Africa, Australia, and others – gave preference by charging much lower import taxes on goods from another member of the Empire, such as Canada. Taxes were adjusted to the proportion of Canadian content. Canada made and supplied General Motors vehicles to those countries, fitting them with right-hand drive. Resulting in almost all Buick sold within the British Empire were Canadian built McLaughlin-Buicks. By 1923 Canada had the world's second-largest automotive industry. These exports fell to a trickle after World War II, because Canada was part of the dollar area and therefore set apart from the British Empire's sterling area. The British were struggling to repay U.S. War Loans and unwilling to allow their businesses unrestricted access to Canada's currency to buy Canadian cars.
