Update: This Milburn is on public display but may be on loan at this time. Amos Alonzo Stagg (famous football coach) owned this car until '33 when he donated it to the Chicago Museum of Science. In his older years, he was known to "drive up and down the gridiron during the practice sessions of his University of Chicago team." Was he the 1st owner?? |
