The registration letters OP are a Birmingham series and were not allocated for use until August 1926, and the follow on series OX, until July 1927 so, unless the car was imported and not registered until it was about two years old it can't be 1925. Mc Laughlin Buicks were built in Canada to escape import duty levied upon all foreign, ie outside the British Empire, cars, the tax being referred to as the McKenna duties. Some Buicks were assembled at the General Motors factory at Hendon. The car looks to me like a 1927 25/75 Sedan. -- Last edit: 2011-08-09 19:55:46
