1920 Milburn Electric Model 27L Brougham

Milburns were built in Toledo, Ohio, by the Milburn Wagon Company from 1915 through 1923. The Milburn was a light electric automobile with a top speed of 19 mph and required a recharge every 60-70 miles. Milburn went on hard times and started building bodies for Oldsmobile to help cover their overhead. In 1923, General Motors bought the building and began producing Buicks. As a result, Milburn was no longer. The color of this example is the original, and a light pink shade was offered as well, a novelty for its day when most cars were painted somber tones of blue, brown, and gray.
