In 1935, the then Prince of Wales ordered a custom McLaughlin-Buick Limousine and it was delivered to him shortly before he became king in January 1936. It was used during his trip to 10 Downing Street in London when he renounced the throne less than a year later and also on his honeymoon, earning it the moniker of the "most romantic car in the world" - Date of Publication
