Collection of the Canadian Automotive Museum

The Milburn Electric Company of Toledo, Ohio only produced electric vehicles between 1915 and 1923, but they would become some of the most prestigious electrics in the United States, driven by none other than President Woodrow Wilson and members of the U.S. Secret Service. Milburn would go on to become a subsidiary of General Motors, producing bodywork for Buicks.
