Owner's remarks: January 2, 2003. I really enjoyed looking at your web site. Reading the "manual" was really interesting. My Milburn is parked in front of and between other cars. Your motivation has stirred my enthusiasm to to "dig it out" photo it and extract the serial numbers. I did have the motor rebuilt several years ago and the car was an excellent driver.

April 19, 2003. This past week, we outfitted our 1922? Milburn with freshly powder-coated wire wheels, new white-wall tires and new batteries. We have also taken several very short rides and it seems to be doing very well! There is a plate below the driver's door : SC 5875 PA, "Special Number Plate".

April 26, 2003. I purchased this car in San Francisco, CA, in the late 1970's. The serial no on the title is H8252966.

Per Myles Twete (12-29-2008), it looks like this car may have been purchased from Robert P. Ebish in 1970. Mr. Ebish bought the car new and ran it for about 150,000 miles. The worm drive was quite worn. The original axle was replaced with an Overland axle. His car was serial number 229167 and was a model 30A 1922 Milburn.
