| Owner's remarks: I don't know the history of the car. I purchased it in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, many years ago. Webmaster Note: This is the highest S/N known for the remaining Milburns, making it both rare and fairly interesting in that among the later changes Milburn supposedly put in place was what reads as a 3rd hinge on the doors according to the 1923 Model 27L Parts List. This change was noted in the Parts List as happening with S/N 2-3100-7 and above, yet the O'Quinn 1922 (2-3175-7) has only 2 hinges per door. If the change actually happened, it could be that it happened before the S/N for Kosmatka's car. |
