10/27/2010 Research Notes (by Myles Twete): "Just sold this month at Hershey to unknown buyer. Last sold as part of the Oberhaus Collection, $46,750 in 2008 at Amelia Auction. This car joined the O'Quinn collection in Houston until his death in 2010 and subsequent sale of this car this month. Is this one of the missing DeLaplaine Milburns? He supposedly had 2 Milburns in his extensive electric car collection in the 1950's. "
